Great searching lessons

Another plug for Ruhl's link this morning.  This is a great learning tool for teaching students (and our selves) how to search.

Gmail meter is an interesting and simple way to get a look at how you are using your mail.  It is also a great way to introduce you to the power of scripts.

A few nice IOS (iPad, iPhone) apps

Paper is a simple drawing program that is worth a look.  It had over 1.5 million downloads in it's first two weeks.  Simple and elegant.

Remember this iPad tutorial app for new beginner's is free for a limited time.  (It is a large program, so it will take some time to download.)
