Take a Picture: Microsoft Image Search Better than Google
A revolution in trying to find pictures online. It's common to find a picture that you sought of want on Google image search but it's not exactly it. The colors are off, the picture is not clear enough, large enough, its a poor illustration, etc.
Microsoft's Live Search for Images has just changed the game. I just saw the band Vampire Weekend perform a few nights ago. For a blog post, I wanted to get a picture of their album cover. Type in Vampire Weekend to Live Search Images and you see pictures of the band and a cover or 2 in early results. When you scroll over an album cover, an option to "show similar images" appears. Click...
<<>> MAGIC!
Now all the picture results are of the album cover and you can sort by size, color, etc. to find the perfect one. This a big leap beyond anything Google offers in this realm.

The Traffic Guru: "Monderman, who died of cancer in January at the age of 62, most famous is that traditional traffic safety infrastructure—warning signs, traffic lights, metal railings, curbs, painted lines, speed bumps, and so on—is not only often unnecessary, but can endanger those it is meant to protect."

Why Don't New Books Come Out in Paperback
This has been bugging me for a long time. Especially whenever summer or traveling comes around.
The hardcover book is a nice accessory but should be optional upon a book's release. Does anyone really enjoy the extra effort of having to support the weight of a hard cover and not being able to bend back pages at your ease? Hardcovers are rigid and make reading less enjoyable.
Heading into summer, I cannot think of anybody that would prefer to carry a hardcover out with them to the beach in comparison to a light weight soft cover book. This is even more so during traveling. Noone wants a heavy carry on bag.
I prefer reading the most up to date non-fiction books yet am held back by this dilemma. I am looking into reading Buying In or OBD:Obsessive Branding Disorder but with traveling soon, I'll have to put these off for a little.
Damn Hardcovers

Is Google Making Us Stupid?
Is Google Making Us Stupid?
Pretty good article on how the ways in which we receive information changes the way we think. I wrote a letter to the editor about the article which is below.
Hi Atlantic,
Nicholas Carr's article on how the internet and its tools such as Google are changing the way we think and can think hits right at home with my own dilemma in finding it increasingly hard to read long in depth books. The article discusses how other advances in media technology such as the printing press or the ability to write has changed the processes in which we think. The internet's rapid firing of information, news, and stories does change the way we attune to these sources. Two major impacts are fallouts from this information overload which the article does not cover.
The ability of having the world's information at our fingertips allows us to discover new ways of thinking and learning then was not possible two decades ago. The proliferation of blogs has given voice to many writers that not long ago would have never had a medium to share there ideas. Devoted blog readers would never had come in contact with these new information sources and would never had the opportunity to gain such knowledge. This is not a far fetched example. Think about how many times daily, weekly, monthly you come across a news article or web site that opened your mind to new ideas. In the 1980's there would be new happenstance to come across these pieces of literature. A person's information outlets were limited to their geographic locations.
Secondly, the internet allows us to learn different ways of thinking. Only having select media choices in the past, whether it be newspapers, journals, TV, etc., we knew exactly what our options were to find information. Today with the ability to search through terabytes of information only a Google away, we must come to form a new knowledge. This new knowledge is the ability to search through the masses and figure out ways on how to find the information we truly desire. Search technology is not yet able to understand exactly what we want. Endless hyperlink clicks coupled with constant tweaks of search queries is sometimes the tireless routine we endure to find what we want. Students and researchers in today's society are already overcoming this, relying on how to efficiently search online if they wish to produce results. This new education of how to search and find information via an overloaded medium, will change our thoughts and ideas differently than before. The old way of searching was reading through books, essays, and journals. The new way of searching is reviewing the links and highlighted passages which are returned to us. The neurological implications of this change about how are brain connections will differ lays the groundwork for lots of interesting research papers to come.

Britons too busy to peel oranges | Oddly Enough | Reuters
Britons too busy to peel oranges | Oddly Enough | Reuters
I completely agree!! The effort put into an orange is not worth the reward. To eat an orange requires using a knife or getting orange rind in your fingernails. Both strategies are much less appealing compared to the orange's easier to eat cousins such as the apple, pear, and banana. Each of these fruits only require the quick wash and subsequent napkin or the quick peel.
What society truly needs is for the orange to evolve/change at an incredibly fast rate. The new orange would be as easily edible as an apple (or banana) but still have all the great qualities of an orange. The people who brought us seedless watermelons, this is your new mission. Go out there make something of yourselves!

So all things Google may not just be perfected quite yet. As I have recently learned and tested, Google's Web Accelerator for some reason stops many YouTube videos from playing. When running Google's Web Accelerator some YouTube videos respond by saying that "This video is no longer available." Heads up for any YouTube playing Google Web Accelerator users like myself.

Captivating article written by former Gawker star Emily Gould.
Being a blogger, who has written only a handful of posts which actually dive into his real life, this article makes me reconsider this whole idea of a blog. Not that I want to stop posting articles, funny pictures/movies, and random internet popcorn, but do I want to change this format. Comment more on posts (like this), add mroe personal insight, etc. I am even considering switching this blog over to Tumblr (for those of you unfamiliar with Tumblr, check it out, probably the best place right now to start a blog).
Anyway enough of this. More posts to come.

Lille
This is a picture from when I went to Lille, France in December of 2006. Lille had elephants lining their main thoroughfare as decorations for their Christmas celebrations. Why elephants? I do not know but they looked really cool. They reminded me of the Barnum & Bailey circus elephants.

I don't really understand the point of this simulation. There probably is something very interesting and purposeful about this which I just am not smart enough to figure out. Anyways this is pretty cool!

Kanye makes amazing beats and songs but who knew he would also have a cool blog.
Caution: The blog has a lot of self promotion by Kanye but if you're a big fan (like me) the promotion stuff is really cool also. Like marching bands playing his songs = GREAT!

from GOOD:
from GOOD:
We see a growing number of people tied together not by age, career, background, or circumstance, but by a shared interest. This revolves around a passion for potential mixed with fierce pragmatism and creative engagement. We sum all this up as the sensibility of giving a damn. But to shorten it, let's call it GOOD. We're here to push this movement and cover its realization.
While so much of today's media is taking up our space, dumbing us down, and impeding our productivity, GOOD exists to add value. Through a print magazine, feature and documentary films, original multimedia content and local events, GOOD is providing a platform for the ideas, people, and businesses that are driving change in the world.

YouTube - Outkast-Hey Ya (performed by Peanuts)
The song "Hey Ya" is always good to hear now and then again BUT pairing it with the incredible dance moves and stylings of the Peanuts gang in their Charlie Brown Christmas Special is just dang gone superbical (there is no word to describe it ... superbical - a seussical word created by Noah meaning superb and incredible).
Having a freeze frame of the dance scene from the Christmas Special may make my reviewed a little bias which means you should only be compelled to watch it more since you need to seek the truth for yourself!

When God changes your mind, that's faith.
When facts change your mind, that's science.
