I wrote several popular posts this week, including my most successful post ever. It was my first Digg front page, and best of all, it was on the subject of education technology: "4 Tools for Teaching Kids to Code."

I also had a great talk with NorthScale this week and wrote a post about Membase, the NoSQL database that NorthScale sponsors and that powers Farmville. I reckon it was the Farmville, not the NoSQL, that generated the clickthroughs. But hey! I'm getting better at explaining RDBMS-NoSQL-WTFBBQ. I think.

I'm in the middle of a back-to-school series for RWW, which I'm very excited to be writing (as I get to talk to a bunch of educators, edtech, and tech folks). Subsequently, I've received some really kind words from fellow educator-bloggers: Julie Meloni called RWW her favorite blog and me "her most favorite RWW author" in The Chronicle of Higher Education - a huge honor as she has always been an inspiration for me to tackle tech. And Richard Byrne from Free Technology for Teachers said of my edtech blog Hack Education - Add This Blog to Your RSS Reader."

I am writing a lot at Hack Education, in case you haven't followed Mr. Byrne's command and started reading me there.

In other news, I turned 39 this week. There was a great story to being 38. I'll tell you it all some time.
