| Google Calendar apparently added one of those intent-predicting features. If you create an event titled "In ___" it will automatically insert "___" as the location for the event. Of course, I found this out by penciling in the date of an In Flames concert, and going "whaaaa..?" when my location was filled in as "Flames". | ||||||||||

| Support an open debate format. Californians: No on Prop 8. No matter which way you would vote on this matter, please make sure you do get out there and VOTE. Sometimes in a state like California you might feel that there's no need to show up to the presidential election, because you know which way your state is voting with or without you (and thousands of your buddies). But on this very important matter the state is split, and every vote counts. This is a proposition to change our state constitution. Even if you don't personally know anyone who'll be affected by it, a change to the state constitution should not be made lightly. Vote. | ||||||||||

I'm sure they'll do plenty to disillusion me later, but, as with capitalism, one has to take both the ups and the downs. | ||||||||

| One thing I really love about modern programs with any sort of calendar element: I get to choose the day the week starts. No longer do I have to put up with some of my calendars starting on Monday and some starting on Sunday, depending on what country developed them. No longer do I have to scan opposite ends of two different lines to find out what I'm up to on a particular weekend (which is the majority of my calendar usage). Fabulous! | ||||||||

| This is one of the more visually interesting Google Maps mashups I've seen: OnionMap, a sort of tourist guide map (to popular tourist cities only), highlighting points of interest based on category. They don't appear to be very far along, but you definitely get the idea from what they have so far. | ||||||||

Like avani, I actually grabbed six.Doctor 1: A rash action is worse than no action at all. Sarah: Doctor, are you serious? Doctor 3: About what I do, yes. Not necessarily the way I do it. Brigadier: Do you know what you're doing? Doctor 3: My dear chap, I can't wait to find out. Doctor 4: To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable; only unexplained. Doctor 4: First things first, but not necessarily in that order. Doctor 4: You and I are scientists, Professor. We buy our privilege to experiment at the cost of total responsibility. | ||||||||||

| In addition to the amusing title, the methodology is nice (diagrams included!), though no better than other solutions I've seen. This particular line of research is surprisingly still fairly unexplored. Social networking for zebras | ||||||||

| I'm sure zellandyne would really like to see this one go through, as well as several other teachers who use tools like this to teach. Not to mention the students who who are trying to make up for their crappy public school "education" by locating information. Oops! Where'd it go? http://news.com.com/2100-1028_3-607 | ||||||||||
