This looks like some powerful stuff! Imagine being a kid with an iPad rocking this in math class… #futureoflearning
Watch out TI-82!

Google Apps for a domain, a service that lets users that own a domain, like say Sztul.com, host email (gmail style), a calander, online documents, a start page and more is now a paid service.
If you go to http://google.com/apps you will see that now it costs $50/user per year after a 30 day free trial. It used to be free (as in beer) for up to 50 users. hmmm…
I guess I am glad I have several domains setup with them already so I seemingly don’t have to pay for anything (as of now).
On the one hand I think it makes sense to have this service as a freemium service (ie a free version and a paid version) BUT I will end this post with saying GOOD FOR GOOGLE! In reality they SHOULD charge for this service. It is a valuable set of tools (an online Word, Powerpoint, Outlook etc) and $50 / user / year is the going rate I guess.

I have been having a hard time keeping on task and focussed lately. I belive this is what comes naturally when one tries and works on several projects at once.
Jake introduced me to an app that I tried today and it seems that I like it.
Pester.app is a simple mac application that runs a timer for a designated amount of time or sounds an alarm at a certain time. Simple yet effective. I was just productive for 50 minutes straight and am now taking a 10 minute break…
opps… the alarm just went off… back to work!
