Learning Swahili

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

A couple sites that might help.

http://goafrica.about.com/od/peopleandculture/a/swahili.htm : Has some introductory phrases and links to some other resources.

http://swahilipod.com/ : The site looks like it just launched (Feb 2008). I found one podcast about greetings, but maybe there will be more in the future.

http://www.podcastpickle.com/cast/25618 : At least one podcast with swahili

http://www.glcom.com/hassan/index.html : Has a decent PDF file for download.

MyPyramid.gov

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

This site was created by the US Department of Agriculture. It allows individuals to track their nutrition and exercise. There are commercial systems that do the same thing and probably have more bells and whistles. The nice part about this site is that it’s free.

One of my statistics instructors shared a joke the other day…

Three statisticians go duck hunting. The first aims at a duck, fires, and is three feet long. The second aims at the same duck, fires, and is three feet short. The third yells, “We got him!”

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Interesting web site I found while researching for a paper. It looks like it’s maintained by a nurse in Canada (June Kaminski, PhDc) who is working on a PhD. I haven’t looked through everything yet but I wanted to mark it so I could go back.
