"Pub-detector watch. How about this for the best ever use of technology? A watch that knows where the four nearest pubs are?" [via kuro5hin.org]

Christmas presents for Bruce and Andy!

I hadn't seen the Beloit College Mindset List before, and I find it fascinating.  In fact, this is very similar to something I do during my presentations - listing things kids today have and grew up with that folks in the room didn't grow up with.  For the Class of 2005 list, "they were born the same year as the PC and the Mac," and "they have always had access to email."  Think about that for a second, and you'll realize that these kids are truly information-shifted.

Well, this is just great.  Steven, Jessamyn, and Dave all link to me just when I get stuck in bed sick.  Went to the doctor last night, though, so hopefully I'll be more towards normal tomorrow.
