Watched this amazing talk this morning, then tweeted it and sent it to a few people on my list. Great stuff. Worth the 19 minutes of your life required to watch it. Take the time.

Or go here to watch it on TED.com.

While putting the polishing touches on my brand new website, I played with the cool wordcloud tool over at Wordle.net. If you want a “search engine” view of your website, with a little more organization and a lot more visual appeal, go make a wordle of your own.

This little physics-based puzzle game is amazing. See for yourself:
AquaForest Game for iPhone

Now, you go buy it too. My daughter loves it so much, I may have to send her to bed early on a Friday night, just to get it back so I can play.

I’m loving the new iPhone apps. I love that many of the best ones are free.
Freebies Worth Gold
Pandora - Now I can have my Pandora tunes in my pocket! I only wish I could have them playing in the background while I did other things, like I can with the tunes on my iPhone through [...]

I have seen the future (today, on YouTube) and the future is now! Go and watch the CBS news segment on the medical clinical trials for regenerating human tissue, organs and even limbs!
It’s really cool, but rather scary. If we can do this, then how long before we reduce/eliminate mortality? Speaking as a middle aged [...]

I just saw this today and had to share it. Interesting find for this morning, since I was up late LATE last night looking at RVs. Just before I did finally go to bed, I determined that it was time to either decide to travel or to decide to stay still on my farm — [...]

I love the quality of this cartoon, created by Blender (blender.org) and distributed under creative commons! It’s not Disney or Pixar, and it’s not for kids (my daughter cringed several times and held her hands over MY eyes once before I fussed at her!), but it is a “just” take on retribution. Occasionally, every “bunny” [...]

Finding a project management system for freelancing isn’t easy. Finding an online business suite to meet all the needs of a collaborative entrepreneur is even more difficult. This post offers some of the resources I’m currently considering to meet my needs for project management, customer service, web-based apps and other business tools.

I’m loving Pandora. I really am. I like “discovering” new music that comes pre-matched to my musical tastes. It never gets old and there’s always some new artist, style or song to enjoy. If you haven’t tried it yet… go … do it. Now.
I have also found a literary version of the same “database analysis [...]

My favorite scent, my “signature” scent is Satsuma. It’s a perfume oil from the same-named fruit (mixed with goodness knows what to make it sell). It’s not expensive, it’s not flowery, it’s just simply perfect.
I’ve tried more “grown up” scents over the years and, honestly, most of the “designer” fragrances give me a headache. I [...]

This interesting little tiny home is built on the top of a billboard support. I find it interesting, since just the other day (being the alternative housing nut that I am)… I looked at a billboard with the surrounding platform and thought to myself, that would be a cool place to put a tiny house… [...]

GrassRoads.Blogspot.com recently published some great shots of Pakistani “Magic Buses” (including the one to the left). I’ve always thought that the gypsy look with wagon homes was a cool, overdone look, but this style is even MORE ornate and creative!
There was a book I read back in 1989 — I actually got it from the [...]

Ok, I don’t know about you, but I think this is just creepy. I like my technology, but this brings to light all my upbringing during the age of Battlestar G and Terminator movies: Nexi on YouTube

I found a cool “tiny house” RV online today — a 1978 31′ Airstream on eBay that is simply too pretty not to go and ogle. This classic Airstream has been taken down to the ribs and built back beautifully — and better than it was originally. (The owners took the 6-Million Dollar Man approach… [...]

Although all the houses (and features) aren’t directly related to Tiny Homes, I just love this website, aptly named “Off Beat Homes” which displays unusual homes, details and treatments. I particularly like the idea of a tiny house with a fairytale styled roof. (Isn’t that sweet?!?!)
You may also enjoy looking at these unusual home and [...]

Are you just getting started as a virtual assistant, freelancer, remote professional or outsourcing provider? Are you wondering how to find the clients? Manage time and billing? How to get your business on the web?
Maybe you are an old hand and providing services remotely (like me) and what you REALLY want to know is how [...]

I was reading about the latest type of mobile processor by Intel today and the writer, a Brian Caulfiled, wrote one of the funniest comparisons I’ve seen in awhile:
“An atom-powered device sounds powerful, even if one might hesitate to crack it open. By contrast, the Celeron sounded like a speedy vegetable.”
It’s been a long day, [...]

So, if I were to be independently wealthy … and if I were willing to wait until the second half of 2008 to get it … would this new surround-video, curved monitor from Alienware be configurable for a Linux system?
