Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing about how July 8th held a moment in history.
Tomorrow is July 8th. It’s not a holiday, it’s just a Wednesday, but it’s also a historical event. Tomorrow, at a little past 12:34 pm, will be the moment the world can call 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9. More precisely it will be 12:34 and 56 seconds on 7/8/09. How cool is that?
It’s not going to screw up any computers like the fabled Y2K, it’s just fun. So get out your most technologically advanced timepiece, and celebrate a historic moment that comes around once in forever, just because it’s cool.

Kindle DX in time for hitting the books this fall
Chris McGinn posted a new blog on Digital Landing about the launch of the new and improved Kindle, known as the Kindle DX.
Kindle DX is the beefier version of Amazon’s Kindle reader. Compared to the traditional Kindle it is larger (9.7″ vs. 6″ diagonal), holds more books (3,500 vs. 1,500) and is more expensive ($489 vs $359).
Another important difference is that the Kindle DX has an auto-rotating screen that allows you to view full screen maps, graphs, tables, web pages, etc. This is especially important to on of the primary audiences for this device–college students who are using them in place of traditional textbooks.
Technology is changing education in many ways. This is just one more step in the journey. Six universities Arizona State University, Case Western Reserve University, Pace University, Princeton, Reed College and the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia will participate in DX pilot studies.
Would you pick Kindle over traditional textbooks?

Cozi adds new features
Chris McGinn posted a new blog up on Digital Landing. Read about Cozi, the online planner that's quite useful for family planning.
In September I highlighted Cozi–an online planner for families on the go. They have recently added a few new features.
With the new year just around the bend, now might be a good time to start using it to keep everyone’s schedules in sync and more.
