So, it's summertime, and you may have noticed the increased frequency of blog posts during the past week.  Although I will try to keep a healthy pace during the school year, chances are, you'll see me revert back to my 1-2 X/week goal.  One tool that may help keep the quality up is Zemanta Assistant.  I found this while browsing my Blogger Buzz.  When installed, I see a toolbar on the right of my post editor that automatically updates with related media (attributions included), articles (such as the ones below), and in-text links.  The dragging of images was a bit clunky at first (TIP: drag to blog post, then click on the image to see it properly), but the application of links, automatic update, and ease of use will definitely save me time in the future and hopefully add value to my content.  Thanks Zemanta!

Quick EdTech Timeout (2 full and a 30 second remaining)...It's been a few weeks since that beautiful day (really, the weather was nice), April 3, when the UPS man came and delievered my shiny new toy to my doorstep (2:30pm: finally, I could leave the house!)  I've gotten a chance to use it, play around, download apps, read articles, skim some books, and much, much more. So, here's Part 1 of why I love my iPad...

Android App Review: doubleTwist AirSync - Wirelessly Sync Your Music

I suspect that I am in a large majority that wondered when wireless syncing of data between computer and phone would finally make its way to the mainstream user. I figured Apple would make some grandiose announcement and hold a huge event broadcasting to the world about "one more thing..." Instead, I read a short blurb on my Flipboard about how doubleTwist, an app that I already had on my Droid X phone, had quietly released a new application called AirSync. The app claims to let you wirelessly sync your iTunes playlists, photos, and videos using your home Wi-Fi network. So, what's the real story behind the experience? Find out after the jump.
