Wow… Wow… Wow…
Grab the map with your mouse, drag it around. Point at stuff and zoom in. Find your ‘hood, and then ask for Wifi in the area. Donuts. Computer stores. Goldfish. Pop-up ballons showing addresses that cast shadows on the map

Crazy.
Go Google it now
and you can Click Here to see where I work.
The day they beta an Office suite that includes connectivity to MSExchange, I’m uninstalling MSOffice at home.

Nicholas Negroponte, chairman and founder of MIT’s Media Labs, says he is developing a laptop PC that will go on sale for less than $100.

He said the child could use the laptop like a text book. He described the device as a stripped down laptop, which would run a Linux-based operating system,

Not safe for sending to friends, either. :)

This link will open up a thing that shows the last 30 images on LiveJournal. I’m not saying it’s always safe for work, or always pretty, but it’s almost always interesting.
Like finding photos on a park bench or something.
