Good tips from PCMag.com. My favorite is how to set up your browser to open gmail when you click on an email link!

Today I took Zachary, my three-year-old-little-treasure, for a spin into the South Street Seaport. Ignoring the huge sailboats, he zoomed into the mall, which everyone knows is much more fun. To our great amazement, we found there an interactive carpet with brightly colored animated games. By stepping on the carpet, hitting and rubbing it with our hands, or just hovering and making shadows, we were able to kick soccer balls, help a frog cross a scary highway, race cars, make pop-corn and even swim with beautiful Chinese goldfish, while pushing them and the water-lilies around. The game was actually an ad for an exciting new cellphone, but it was very attractive in itself. I could see lower school kids having lots of fun, and having a full-body learning experience with such a cool device.
On a tech note, it works with an overhead projector and a camera. The camera recorded Zachy’s movements and translated them to the computer. The effect was fast and efficient. Wow.
Thanks Zach!

Do you want to display dates in French in your Wordpress Blog while keeping the admin interface in English? Just use my French Time plugin. It changes the months names and week days to French. Depending on your theme, you may need to get the dates display re-arranged to reflect the French order…

By the way, if you want the same thing in a different language, let me know… 

I am a crazy doodler. What people don’t always know, is that I actually listen better at the meeting when I doodle… 

I have just created a plugin enabeling to post a custom image in a post background. You need to have an image of the appropriate dimensions somewhere available on the web and know its URL. Then just add the following:

At the very beginning of the post (or wherever you want the image to show):

[platozstart bg="http://URLofImage" platozheight="heighOfImage"]

At the very end of the post (or wherever you want the image to end):

[platozstop]

The plugin is already installed and available for activation for Dalton’s blogs. If you want to use the plugin somewhere else, just download the source file: Platozcave
