So, I had to put together a matrix for ebook shopping for the Gadget Group in the Libraries. I tried to do a straightforward comparison, but as with all technology, that's not always easy. I love my Kindle, but Nook Color looks like it might be a great ereader/tablet platform (Android based) for under 300$. It certainly is lighter than my netbook/tablet hybrid (Dell Duo Tablet). I am disappointed that it doesn't seem to support Flash (at least without some hacking).

I have been to alot of meetings over the years - some great, some not so great, some pointless, some redundant, some effective... Over the years I have gathered together my tactics for both being a participant and being the organizer. Meeting organizersA meeting organizer doesn't even have to be the person in charge of the actual meeting.Organization:

• Agendas. The agenda is the map for the meeting. If it's a collaborative group (committee, project group, etc.) the core agenda should be agreed upon my everyone ahead of time.
