Pencast

In my previous post, I wrote about the Smart Pen from LiveScribe.  In a nutshell, you can write and record audio and the two are linked together.  This audio can be played back from the paper you wrote it on, uploaded to the computer for playback and searching, or shared online via LiveScribe’s website.  Sharing such a document online is called pencasting.

 

Here is my first decent pencast, on the topic of the Monty Hall Paradox.  Be sure your speakers are on and your flash player is up-to-date.

 

Please let me know what you think.  Thanks for reading.

How to Win at MineSweeper: My Game

Here is a game of MineSweeper I played recently.  I didn’t take a picture of every single move, but it’s a fairly complete account of my game.  In coming posts, I plan to analyze some of the moves so that you too can win at MineSweeper.  I originally planned to make this one giant post, but it was getting too long, to the point that I was getting lost in writing it.  So, I am going to break this up into several posts.  What follows is the game I played, without commentary or analysis.

I’m sure this post in and of itself is not too entertaining, but you may want to refer back to this post if you are going to read my next set of posts about the different moves I performed in this game of MineSweeper.  Thanks for reading.
