Avast 5.0 Released

I'm a little late in finding out the news as I am no longer a active Avast user. However, on January 19th, 2010 Avast 5.0 was released! The Avast products have always been a very good product and offer a great deal for a home (free) user. A few months ago, I downloaded the beta 5.0 release. The product had a more 'traditional' user interface compared to the 'media player' GUI used in 4.x series.

I will continue to test the new version of this product and let you know my results. In the meantime, if you have downloaded and install this product let me know what you think. I would love to hear more about what your experience has been with Avast 5.0

EDIT 2/9/10:
I would like to make a few clarifications. Avast is a antivirus product. Avast free is a for Windows only. Avast does have a mac version however it is they still do not appear to have a free version. If you are looking for a free antivirus for mac you can try ClamXav.

Technology in the Classroom

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend FETC (Florida Educational Technology Conference) 2010. This year, I didn't have the time to attend any of the workshops at the conference, however, I was able to attend the exhibit hall, 9am to 2:30pm. The exhibit hall essentially was a large room with quite a few companies in attendance showing their product.

I learned a lot of useful information and was inspired with a few new ideas from everything I saw at the conference. Interestingly, I noticed that many of the visual demonstrations (for teachers) seemed to be for a much younger base. Elementary teachers appear to have a much larger amount of resources based in technology and lesson plans than teachers with older students.

New students are going to be extremely used to technology in the classroom. Middle school, high school, and higher educational institutions are also following suite with elementary schools. Many math classes in the college level are requiring homework to be submitted online. Some of the classes like my US History class (AMH2020) are completely online now. Technology is becoming a huge part of the educational system and I don't think that I can, or any teacher can afford missing FETC next year. If we do, we all might just be left behind...

Friday Adventure in Orlando. [Fun Story]

I have gotten a few questions about where I was last Friday. Here is the story:

I got a call from the CIA, it turns out that walt disney really did freeze his head and they brought him back to life but what the imagionears didn't realize is that reanimating a cartoon is not the same as reanamating a person. After the red liquid goo faze, Walt turned into a yayzombee and had to be eliminated at all costs.
That's why they called me. Sean T

Next Friday..... The "cover story" Truth

The Official Unofficial Slogan Maker

Friends,
Today I would like to feature one of my oldest and most popular projects that people for some reason seem to really like. This website is also one of my personal favorites.

A few years a ago I created a slogan maker. This slogan maker would allow the user to enter in some text. Normally their name and make a slogan for their name. The site was designed to be funny.
