Online Presentations

I really injoyed the presentations in class last week.  I think each one of them put Pink's 6 senses (Design-Story-Symphony-Empathy-Play-Meaning) to a good use.  
However, I still have my doubts about Illuminate.  Maybe I need faster Internet, but it seems like it's too clunky.  What are the alternatives?  GoToMeeting?

Note to self:  Explore voicethread some more, looks like it is a powerful presentation tool.


Love my glass teapot


This teapot is one of the things I love to use every day.

First of all it has a clean modern look.
It has an infuser that makes cleaning easy.
The top doesn't fall off when you pour the tea.  The spout (or nose in Russian :) is shaped so the tea does not drip and comes out in a predictable fashion. It is made out of tempered glass, and it keeps the tea hot for a long time.
And best of all, you can watch the beautiful color of your tea and know when it is ready.
