Google Notebook

Search is all about finding the answers you need. Unfortunately, some kinds of questions–like where you should stay and what you should do on your Hawaiian vacation, or what kind of digital camera you should buy, or what the latest treatments for arthritis are–can’t always be answered in one sitting, or by visiting one site.

That’s why we built Google Notebook–to give you an online “notebook” where you can organize all your research, add personal notes to it, and share it with others. Google Notebook surfs along quietly with you as you browse, letting you clip and annotate whatever text, images, and links that help answer your question, all without ever leaving the webpage you’re on.

Blog Cook Book » Alternatives to Adsense

Found Blog Cookbook by accident while searching for some Ubuntu info and noticed this entry. I’m going to take a look at the alternatives and may even try one or two. text-link-ads.com looked to be the most intersting.

This is all quite possible now, why wait for the future? Oh, it’s still too expensive, yeah. While we’re waiting, let’s hope they get the contrast issues fixed, that image is horribly washed out.

Uber-Review » Blog Archive » Digital Clock T-Shirt

Crazy idea for a DIY project. Now to find a thin flexible segmented LED.

With the Digital Clock T-shirt, I can assure you one thing, no one will ask you ‘what time is it’. The shirt runs off 4 x AAA batteries that are hidden in a pocket inside the shirt. The clock has 8 display patterns, a fade-in/fade-out feature and a stop-watch mode to see how long it takes you to get served a drink at the bar. You can be the official time piece of the party for $60.
