Turning Trash Into Treasures
There is a former art teacher in Florida that is doing her part for the environment and making some unique jewelry. Ann Skydell Harmon, founder of Ann-Made jewelry, is using recycled soda can tabs as the base for her bracelets, earrings and pendants. Her venture has earned a Green American Seal of Approval and recognition from many sources.
Who knew that soda can tabs could look this good?

How would you feel if while sunbathing on your favorite beach, a large tube structure walked up to you all on its own? If you are in Holland, that could be a possibility.

12-Year-Old App Developer
Here’s a fun bit of news:
The Philippine Star ran an article on November 15, 2010 about a 12 year old Indonesian boy, Fahma Waluya Rosmansyah, who programs in his spare time. His platform of choice? Adobe Flash for use on cell phones. The applications he has made thus far are impressive. Fahma’s games are intended to help Indonesian children learn English and mathematics. This year Fahma was recognized with an Indonesia ICT Award.
