RoboDemo module released for Flash MX. eHelp Corp. has released the RoboDemo FLA Module, an add-on to the RoboDemo tutorial software that lets Macromedia Flash MX users import RoboDemo projects. RoboDemo, which is Mac OS X compatible, records the use of any application, or on-screen activity, and instantly creates a movie in Macromedia Flash format with visible and audible mouse clicks. Flash tutorials created with RoboDemo can be further enhanced in Flash through the addition of extra effects, animation, and ActionScript. The RoboDemo FLA module creates FLA files from RoboDemo projects; the files contain the elements from the original project, and can be fully edited in Flash, unlike a SWF file. [MacCentral]

Bush family tips on frugality and ethics
So Laura Bush has begun a recurring segment on CBS' "The Early Show" promoting children's literacy and including an Early Reader's Club with a featured book. The first was Book! Book! Book!, which she read from on the show. One of her staffers had bought that copy at A Likely Story, an Alexandria, VA independent bookstore.

To the dismay of independent booksellers, though, the segment promoted Amazon, alone, as where to buy books.

Afterwards, the staffer returned the book to A Likely Story . [Meme Machine Go]

Dr. Spock Would Be Prould - Tracking Your Baby with BabyTracker
That is Dr. Spock, not Mr. Spock, although he would be proud too if he had any emotions. ;)

"If you want to be a better parent and you want to keep, organize information about your baby, track his/her development at anywhere and anytime. The BabyTracker for Pocket PC is right solution for you. BabyTracker is the first line of parenting tools designed to easily capture and track the important information of baby. With BabyTracker parents and caregivers can easily organize care information about their baby."

Any expectant parents out there? This would be a good substitute for the typical baby book. There is a trial version and you can buy it for $19.95. It requires an ARM processor to run, so it should be ok on iPAQs with Pocket PC 2000 and any 2002 or higher device. There is no limit on the numbers of babies it supports. [Pocket PC Thoughts]
