saw this post on engadget discussing the ability of Nissan Leaf to compare drivers’ performance in terms of energy efficiency. looks like the competition in schools’ been extended? π i expect other carmakers to follow suit soon. and we’ll probably see facebook integration soon for the total social experience (:
deADlicious, another service entering history
saw this piece of news in a tweet, del.icio.us, a social bookmarking site will be closed down. most likely not profit/revenue generating for yahoo? π
edudemic.com has provided 5 alternatives in their posting for exploration while saying bye-bye to my acct. i wonder how many of our teachers have been using this service *hmm*

eVideo – My foreigner neighbour
it’s been a while since i last visited eMedia, and am glad i did, cos i chanced upon this:
the video has four parts. viewing it, you can learn about food οΌζ°δ»₯ι£δΈΊε€©οΌοΌ, culture, values and beliefs of the Thai ζ³°, Burmese ηΌ , Japanese ζ₯, and Filipino θ². Chinese subtitles’ included for this video as this is a resource for use by P5 CL teachers (:
avoid connecting to …
open wireless network (e.g. Wireless@SG) and try to use secure encrypted channel whenever possible (e.g. Wireless@SGx) cos your login sessions to sites that used cookies and not on https:// (e.g. Facebook) can be hijacked with ease. saw this discussion on-going on /. , and the tool is freely available! just grab Firesheep, a Firefox extension, and anyone is good to go. impressive huh?
oh btw, the suggestion to use “Free” as password for encrypted but FREE networks is a good idea i though (:
