Do you ever see something that totally reminds you of, or looks like a face? As much as you try to shake the fact that a rock or a cloud is smiling at you, you just can't? Well when TeamSugar user Calamari sent Faces in Places to me, I couldn't get over how many recognizable human faces there are on everyday things. I'm already addicted to this site, and can't help but check out all the new photos of faces in places. Trust me, the more faces you see, the more visible they will become — kinda like a sixth "faces in places" sense!

Here's the latest and greatest piece of kid-tech since the OLPC XO laptop made its debut last year. Costing only $50, the Teachermate has just been unveiled by a Chicago-based nonprofit called Innovations For Learning.
Engadget reports that this system will be sent out to 500 Chicago elementary schools over the next two years, in hopes that every child will eventually receive one. What's not to love about this tiny PC that comes with a 2.5-inch LCD display, an SD card slot for expandability, 512MB of RAM, and a built-in mic and speaker. With a complete reading and math curriculum on each device, these PCs are going to change the lives of many kids.
The Teachermate is said to become available on Amazon soon, so stay tuned.
Since we spend more time at work than we do at home, naturally, you'd want to be as comfy as possible. That includes having all of your nerdy desk accessories within arms reach. I mean, who hasn't wanted to take a break from all those TPS reports and flow charts to play with their Lightsaber desk lamp for a few? I for one, am 100 percent on board for that. Geek is chic people, get with it.
Check out my slideshow for more uber geeky, but totally essential, desk accessories!

Oh, Gavin! San Franciscans and San Franciscans at heart know Mayor Gavin Newsom for his dreaminess, his uh, "troubled" love life, and I know him for his devotion to his iPhone. Now, he's got a little bit more than his contacts, emails, and touchscreen to cling to. 
After last year's Cosco Busan oil spill in the Bay, Newsom went on vacation and communicated with his staff on his phone. The mayor has refused to hand over any info communicated about the spill, because it's on his own personal phone (which he pays for himself and uses for personal and work). To find out what the critics say and see what I think about the ordeal, read more
If you've received an Amazon shipment in the last month, you may have noticed a couple of these Cell Phones For Soldiers envelopes inside the box. By putting your old cell phone in one of these "prepaid" envelopes, it then gets sent to Recellular, a company which pays Cell Phones for Soldiers for each donated phone. With this money, Cell Phones for Soldiers purchases prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops and marines stationed overseas, with hopes of getting more than 12 million minutes of cards this year.
AT&T has already jumped on board by donating more than $500,000 to CPFS and now offers cell phone recycling drop-off sites at 1,800 store locations. To participate, your phone can be in any condition and does not need to have batteries, just throw it in the bag and send it off. Considering the harmful impact discarded cell phones have on our environment, I'm happy that there's a program making cell phone recycling effortless. And even better that it's being backed by Amazon!
