You may have noticed a lack of posts over the last couple of months to this blog and also my Furl. Well apart from the fact that I have been doing the holiday thing for some of that time, I have also had to endure the pain of not one but two Hard Drive replacements and the associated loss of data and lack of access. In 3-4 weeks however I say goodbye to this laptop and hello to a brand spanking newbie, WOW..........

For a fantastic example of how to use blogs in the communication of science ideas then take a look at Jack's Science Fair Project. The URL is http://homepage.mac.com/stevespangler/iblog/index.html. I am attempting to trial something similar with children from the school that I work in soon, (watch this space). Hopefully they will get inspiration from Jack. :)
