I attend several conferences each year and find it useful to have business cards to give to contacts. These are also really useful to give to parents.

I like these cards very much. They are printed on extremely heavy, 100% recycled card stock.

Plus, they look really cool.

I've been struggling with the sound quality of movies and other media on my laptop for the past couple of years. For the past year, I've been using four or five sets of desktop computer speakers that I've picked up at yard sales and the Swap Shop at my dump, all linked together via a Belkin Rockstar.

This should be a step in the right direction.

One set of stereo speakers via Craig's List - $60.00

I spent the week at an NEA Workshop studying Duke Ellington. On the final day of the workshop, we visited Harlem. I bought these books at The Schomburg Center to help me put together a unit on the Harlem Renaissance.
