Meet AdSense Publisher BuildEazy
Les Kenny was around 50 years old when he first used a computer. BuildEazy was his first website, designed to show people how to make everyday things out of wood. Every BuildEazy project, whether it’s a guinea pig hutch or a picnic table, comes with detailed plans, material lists, tool lists and step-by-step instructions, so anyone can give it a try.
What began as a hobby soon became a source of income as Les began dabbling with AdSense on the site. By experimenting with the position of ads, he went from earning a few dollars a day to a steady income.
Eventually Les was able to give up his day job as a building contractor and host BuildEazy full time, giving him the freedom to do what he loves (and hang out with the grandkids). He’s still authoring projects and BuildEazy is going from strength to strength.
Almost two million people are using AdSense right now. Learn more about how to start turning your passion into profit today.

the easiest educational robot for kids, Mbot, goes AtHeart
It’s cute, it’s fun and easy to assemble, it’s mBot by Makebloc, the new educational robot joining Arduino AtHeart program!
mBot it’s an all-in-one solution for kids and beginners to enjoy the hands-on experience about robotics, programming, and electronics.
You can program it with drag-and-drop graphical programming software based on Scratch 2.0 and the magic happens: the robots can follow lines, kick balls and push objects, avoid walls and more. You can also switch from graphical to text-based programming in Arduino mode as it can be coded with Arduino IDE environment.
Watch the video of their successful Kickstarter campaign:
mBot supports wireless communication, standard Arduino boards like Arduino Uno, Leonardo boards, Arduino Nano, Arduino Mega 2560, Makeblock mCore (based on Arduino Uno).
The main control board’s design, mCore of mBot, is based on Arduino UNO: with intuitional color labels and easy-to-use RJ25 connectors, the board can get wired easily so students can then get more time to focus on creating all kinds of interactive stories and projects.
To help teachers, parents, and kids get started easier and faster the robot kit has two free tutorial e-books and online manuals are provided and increasing continually.
Take a look at mBot on Makeblock website and discover how to use 2.4GHz wireless module and Bluetooth module with mBot:

Top 10 Prehistoric Dinosaur Cats (Dinocats)
Top 10 Prehistoric Dinosaur Cats (Dinocats)
Let’s get the obvious thing out of the way first. These are not real dinosaur cats, they are just normal cats dressed as dinosaurs. But they made me smile and I hope they do the same for you…
Top 10 Prehistoric Dinosaur Cats (Dinocats)

Diplodocus Dinocat
10 – Diplodopuss
They once thought the Diplodopuss was massive, but now they know it just had very fluffy slippers.
Stegasaurus Dinocat

You can spot a Stegapuss from a mile away. They are the ones with those awful knitted jumpers on.
Yangchuanosaurus Dinocat
8 – Yangchuanopuss
He might look funny, but he can outrun a Raptor when it comes to catching food.
Saichania Dinocat
7 – Saichapuss
This cat has evolved over millions of years so dogs can no longer go to bite them!
Dromaeosaur Dinocat
6 – Dromaepuss
While not as feared as the T-Rex the Dromaepuss would still take a bite out of you for not smoothing him.
Amargasaurus Dinocat
5 – Amargapuss
Little Amargapuss might not be one of the more well-known dinocats, but his colourful spots are a dead giveaway!
Stegosaurus Dinocat
4 – Stegopuss
He once ate a nerd whole because he pointed out that he looks like Bower from the Super Mario games!
Baryonyx Dinocat
3 – Barypuss
This puss survived the Cretaceous Period by making his own cat food from T-Rex’s!

His bite is a lot worse than his roar. This cat thought Jurrasic World was a documentary and his life!
Triceratops Dinocat
