Friday fun

On a Friday we start to look forward to walks and spending time with mum and dad.

It is also when dad takes a look around the web for things to raise morale  and spirits.  Here are a few of his discoveries.

Wordia – A video dictionary. Harpercollins, the national literacy trust and the open university have joined forces with others to create a next-generation online dictionary; a ‘visual dictionary’ video repository that encourages members of the public to contribute to a collective pool of produced and user-generated video dictionary definitions.

MagCloud – Have you ever wanted to publish your own magazine ?  It costs you nothing to publish a magazine on MagCloud. To buy a magazine costs 20¢ per page, plus shipping.  US postage only but according to their site international postage is coming.

Zigo – Is it a child buggy, a bike, a pushchair or a child transporting bike.  Well it seems as it is all three. No UK distributors as yet… unless you know otherwise?

Loc8tor – Have you ever misplaced your keys or even the children ?  Loc8tor has a maximum range of 183 metres / 600 feet with clear line of sight and can be used to try and find all your lost belongings.  Loc8tor’s versatility means it can be used in almost any situation by simply attaching the tag to any item you want to protect. It can even be used to find a lost radio controlled aircraft that may have ditched or a computer being removed from an office.  I wonder if we could be tagged whilst we are out for a walk ?

Thats all for now.
