It doesn’t matter what happened after that fateful day, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, those events need to be put to the side this September 11th. We need to remember and honor those who lost their lives.
Most of us have memories of that day in 2001. I know I sure do.

Yesterday Google unveiled their new search goody called Google Instant. It’s searching done in the real-time. It’s not so much tracking real-time search as IT IS SEARCH IN REAL TIME. Before you’d have to type in a query and click search to get your result. Now as you type your query the results appear as you type in your keywords. It’s really fast and really neat.
With this new feature, the social media universe went a flutter.

Google is the king of the Web, we all know this. But Microsoft has been on the search giants heals for a while now. First with Bing, going after search traffic and other Google properties like maps. Now Microsoft is taking on Google’s Street View. Their creation, dubbed Street Slide, looks very interesting and looks to be a nice alternative to Street View. Below is a video explaining Street Slide. [read more…]

Jason Fried, founder of 37signals, has a great video on BigThink.com about how work isn’t productive and full of interruptions. He talks about how we need to eliminate our distractions so we can work more efficiently and have more time away from work.
I love working at home for this reason. There are still interruptions, but most happen on my terms. Interruptions are also another reason I’ve stopped going to coffee shops to do my work. There are always things to distract you when you’re off site. Staying in your office working is the best way, for me at least, to be productive.

Very interesting, at the World Trade Center site they found a 19th ship. What’s intriguing to me is that they found it now and not when they were building the WTC the first time. Interesting. Probably different priorities than today. Interesting video over at CNN check it out below. [read more…]
