Hello again, and welcome to the carnival.

There don’t seem to be many articles this month that are worth sharing with you.  Many left over from last month and the new ones are either not really ’latest inventions’ and many of the submitted articles are just a few paragraphs long and full of links!

These aren’t articles – they are not sharing anything new with readers or even treating us like readers – they are trying to get clicks by using key words!

Where are all the great articles about actual new inventions, great technology and interesting new gadgets?

Lets hope we get some in for next month otherwise this carnival will have to change it’s name to ‘X new iPhone applications for Y’ as these are all I get plenty of!

And here is the latest one:  Shannon Wills presents 50 iPhone Apps That Will Make You Much Healthier

Hope to see you next month…….

Hello again, and welcome to a some what shorter blog carnival than normal as I will be away on vacation at the time this is posted, and only have a small selection of interesting write-ups to choose from – but will include any missed articles in next months!

So to start we have a convincing article by Lazy Man explaining quite simply Why I’ll Try to Buy a Palm Pre Tomorrow.

Randomly, Mike offers up some details on some insect technology! He describes a Virtual Fly Brain Computer Model.

Lets move to the topical subject with Marco Gustafsson with his appraisal of the up and coming E-paper 2.0 And Fujitsu Has It In Color. Interesting stuff.

And finally – the ubiquitous Apps article – this time for kids, by Allison Johanson 50 Fun iPhone Apps to Get Kids Reading and Learning.

Sorry again that it is so short – but hope to see you again next month…..
