In their newly published paper on economic happiness they found that rich people are happier than poor people, richer countries are happier than poor countries and as countries get richer, their citizens tend to get happier.

From Toy to Tool: Cell Phones in Learning: Create your own Cell Phone Radio Show...or just hear your favorite podcast on your cell!
Excerpt: "You go to the Foneshow website, find a podcast (there are many to choose from including NPR and even the presidential candidates), type in your cell phone number, click on subscribe and you are done. You will receive a text message with a phone number in it. Hit reply to the message and your phone will automatically dial the number where you will get instructions to listen to the podcast. Every time there is a new episode available, you will recceive a text message (you can also stop this function if you would like). While that is pretty cool, even more exciting is the ability to create your own cell phone podcast! And it is so easy! You just click on Create your own Foneshow. Add your podcast (you can upload it), and then publish."

Li-Young Lee is not only an extraordinary poet, but he's a great reader as well. This poem is not my absolute favorite but hearing it read aloud still gets me a little shaky.
