No single human being can carry out one million substantial tasks daily, but it can certainly feel like there are a million things not getting done each day. After years of trying every complex approach in the book (okay, not every one, but quite a few), I use a dead simple tool for handling my daily tasks. The notepad.
Did you catch all that? When was the last time you dugg someone else’s digg? If you haven’t dugg a digg in a while and your digg’s just don’t get dugg, perhaps it’s time to digg some diggs.
Google has been making some serious steps toward global domination lately, and one such step is Google Health: The Internet’s one-stop-shop for centralizing health information about the public. Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of going digital, but Google worries me sometimes.
On this day in 1960, just 48 short years ago, Theodore Maiman of Hughes Research Laboratories demonstrated the first working laser. Just what would our world be without lasers anyway? A very unlasery place I imagine. Google celebrates this day with a homepage dedicated to lasers and a creative Google logo composed entirely of lasers!
Google’s homepage is looking fairly normal lately with the classic logo, but Google is now displaying a short message about Doodle 4 Google which reads “Over 16,000 children drew doodles for Google’s homepage. Vote for the one that will appear here.” So now it’s our turn to decide what shows up on Google’s homepage! Not only that but make some kid’s day (erm… week? month? life?) by getting their sketch displayed on Google.com.
Ready to spice up your Google homepage with some great art? Today we are greeted with Google’s latest homepage promoting iGoogle Artist Themes. Today’s Google logo sports art work by Jeff Koons as an example of the possibilities using iGoogle Artist Themes. Below the logo reads “What happens when great art mixes with your homepage?” iGoogle Artist Themes. And where would be without a nice screenshot to show off the new iGoogle Artist homepage?
It has been quite a while since I was forced to shut down Fury-Tech Forums due to SPAM and lack of moderation. Many know Fury-Tech as a mix of heated debates over hardware and even more heated debates over politics and religion. Often leading to personal injury or harm or death or suffocation. (The previous statement is untrue in most countries). But needless to say, many victims fell to the wrath that is Fury-Tech.
Which is why it brings me great joy to announce once again that Fury-Tech Forums is back in with a much needed upgrade. Aesthetically speaking we have a little more to do. But the software itself is a major improvement over the SPAM honeypot that was phpBB. So get your arse to the new tech forums and tell me what you think.
Even if you don’t celebrate Earth Day, Google does. And you’re sure to be enticed by a completely free screenshot of them doing it! We already celebrated Earth Hour with Google, so let’s move on to bigger and better things with Earth Day!
Google has a tradition of doing zany things to their logo and Web site for holidays and other important events. Today Google greets us with a shockingly dark page and states “We’ve turned the lights out. Now it’s your turn…”. Google provides a little more detail, going on to say this is “… a gesture to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour“.
I was digging around my computer looking for a particular media file needed for a project when I stumbled across these pics from last summer. There was a very intense and long-lasting heat lightning storm visible from my rooftop, so of course I grabbed my camera and tried to capture some of it. At the time I was using a pretty old Sony 1.2MP so the picture quality is far from superb. The coolness factor is pretty high though, and if for no better reason than not losing them I decided to post them here.
