On a Friday we start to look forward to walks and spending time with mum and dad.<\/p>\n
It is also when dad takes a look around the web for things to raise morale \u00a0and spirits. \u00a0Here are a few of his discoveries.<\/p>\n
Wordia<\/a> – A video dictionary. Harpercollins<\/a>,\u00a0the national literacy trust<\/a> and\u00a0the open university<\/a> have joined forces with others to create a\u00a0next-generation online dictionary; a \u2018visual dictionary\u2019 video repository that encourages members of the public to contribute to a collective pool of produced and user-generated video dictionary definitions.<\/p>\n MagCloud<\/a> – Have you ever wanted to publish your own magazine ? \u00a0It costs you nothing to publish a magazine on MagCloud. To buy a magazine costs 20\u00a2 per page, plus shipping. \u00a0US postage only but according to their site international postage is coming.<\/p>\n Zigo<\/a> – Is it a child buggy, a bike, a pushchair or a child transporting bike. \u00a0Well it seems as it is all three. No UK distributors as yet… unless you know otherwise?<\/p>\n Loc8tor – <\/a>Have you ever misplaced your keys or even the children ? \u00a0Loc8tor<\/a> 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. \u00a0Loc8tor’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. \u00a0I wonder if we could be tagged whilst we are out for a walk ?<\/p>\n Thats all for now.<\/p>\n If you would like to suggest some gadgets or websites then let us know via email admin at ablogfrommydog.com or via the comments form below<\/p>\n Charlie and Buster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On a Friday we start to look forward to walks and spending time with mum and dad.
