Blogs for Learning is now open

Blogs For Learning is now officially in open beta, meaning the password is gone and we are welcoming folks in to take a look around. Specifically I'm interested in getting high-quality articles in the pipeline, focusing on any aspect of blogging in the classroom: pedagogical, technical, social, legal, etc. The site is available at http://blogsforlearning.msu.edu so please, give the site a spin and let us know what you think. We want this to be a valuable tool for anyone wishing to incorporate blogs into their teaching.

Yes, there really are that many starbucks

Came accross a cool mashup today - one that charts Starbucks locations using Google Maps API: Find By Click
My worst fear has been realized as I now have proof that there are multiple Starbucks within a few blocks of each other.
