If the adhesive strip were facing forward (toward the wind), some of them might survive until the cops pulled you over. ;) You're welcome, Dave. I always enjoy reporting back on who I talk to at these breakfasts. They're a lot of fun, and I'm glad you had the idea to start them. I'm happy to hear that the little ones are on the comeback trail, too. :) We definitely take the technology we have and enjoy using for granted. I think it helps all of us to look for ways to make technology more accessible for those who don't already have it. The good news is that in some of the classrooms Paul mentioned to me, computer access at school is 1-to-1 and broadband. Things are slowly getting better.

So sorry I couldn't be there. I'm happy to report that while noses are still rather green and crusty/slimy, the wee ones are on the mend. Thanks for the post. Interesting information! Startling to learn about those rural Tennessee kids without iPods and podcast knowledge. It does remind us that not everyone has home computers, without one you have nothing to sync your iPod with. That's troubling. See you soon. Dave Awesome recap (as always) Rob, thanks! So sorry I couldn’t be there.

I wonder how many Post-It notes would stay on the car while driving down I-65? For sure. I wonder how many Post-It notes would stay on the car while driving down I-65?
