So what’s been happening in the blogosphere this week? Let’s take a look…

…in no particular order, here are some of the happenings from this previous week:

Over at j2fi.net, Jason celebrated his 29th birthday, and the very next day his PDA gave him a not-so-nice late birthday present when it finally gave out and broke for good. I guess he knew this was coming, but the timing wasn’t very good.

At Beyond the Rhetoric, Michael Kwan developed a pretty good April Fool’s gag by writing a post that announced he got a job writing for the New York Times. This was probably the most entertaining and believable April Fool’s joke I caught wind of this year.

Angela from bostonbrat.net also had a couple good April Fool’s jokes that she was able to pull on her dad and anyone who is a NFL fan will probably find them funny and worth checking out.

Another site that always has interesting and entertaining stuff to read is dereksemmler.com, and this week was no exception. While I’m not exactly sure what to suggest for him, if you have opinions about laptop computers, he is asking for suggestions. Derek is looking to get a laptop to bring with him to blogging conferences and other trips that he may take. Oh, and did I mention he is giving away some free advertising?

To wrap up this post, an interesting point to ponder is whether or not technology can actually have a negative effect on the quality of education that students receive and how much they learn. While you’re thinking about that, visit bloggrrl.com where Michelle explains why she thinks technology is the reason that kids can’t read.
