Bobby McFerrin hacks your brain with music Video on TED.com
As part of my 23 Things assignment I viewed a number of video's on Ted.com. Being a musician I was immediately taken with this simple demonstration of teaching the pentatonic scale. What a brilliant way to teach music!

The Nook
I viewed and read pages of a book on the Library Nook. Because there were so few titles available that I was interested in I quickly chose a book that I had thought I might like to try. Once I started the first chapter I realized I had recently listened to the book on CD. Obviously the title and storyline were not that impressionable.
The best part of working with the Nook was following the process of downloading and uploading the actual book. I learned the most by exploring all the features of the Nook through the guided tour. I can see where it has it's place in many people's busy lifestyle.
It was interesting when Jordon and I were at the Altavista Business Expo last week. While sharing the Library's technology features from our website we had several remarks made against using an e-reader. Those commenting still prefer holding a book in hand. The comments weren't limited to a particular demographic.
I've used the Nook. Yeah! Coralee
