New iPod Coming??
by: Joshua

In September 2010, Apple has scheduled a meeting for a new iPod. The name is unknown, but it is related to music. They are thinking about preparing a service that lets people stream music over the Internet, without needing to first download over slow wireless connection. This iPod now contains a camera. Apple is not a 100% sure that this new "iPod" is going to come out or not. This are just updates for the meeting in September. If you could go to this event/meeting, would you want to go or not? Why?

The Summer

By: Himanshu

      This summer was awesome. First of all my Grand Parents came this summer. The first place we went to was Las Vegas. We went to many places like the Eiffel Tower casino, The Statue of Liberty, and a casino called Belagio. We also went to Lassen National Park. It is a national park with lots of volcanoes. We got to see Mt. Shasta and the Shasta Caverns. In the entrance was a small rattlesnake. It was right behind the tour guide! Last, we went to the Redwood Forest. We saw lots of huge and old trees. We even got to ride through two different trees. As you can see that my summer was a great adventure!!! How did you spend time in the summer break?
