I’m not sure why, but for some reason it is way cooler to regress in technology than to be cutting edge.

Here are two fun clips of demonstrating this fact. 

This first one is by my cousin Jon Clark in England.

This one was fun to watch too:

Grandma would’ve hated this kind of thing. Google now (as of April 09) automatically makes your searches local to your zip, so whether or not you know where you are, google does.  This is really nice when you’re travelling and have no idea what zip you’re in.

I.e. – here are the pizza places in your area: LocoPizza (usually about the 4th hit down).

Oh, and it can also track you on the go via this handy program… Google Latitude:

Do you see any resemblance here?  This movie was listed under this title, and its pretty entertaining.

“Disney made one movie, and they’ve been tracing it ever since.”

One of my most vivid memories of living with my sister was being appointed to taste the milk (to see if it was spoiled).  Thanks sis, but from now on, you can go to: 

If you’ve ever wondered if that food is still tasty or not, and you don’t have a brother to test it on, this site is your answer. 

Visit the StillTasty link/logo above.

Here are some amazingly good steals, and best of all FREE SHIPPING!

One more – I couldn’t help myself:

April Fools Pranks for your loved one’s computer.

I wasted way too much time on this site, so I figured I’d share it:

Here is one to give you the idea:

In seeking to sync contacts from gmail to my phone, I came accross this post in a forum:

“…. if we all pool together and tell Google we want the Contacts API 
released sooner rather than later.  For this to happen, if we all go 
to the following link: 
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list?can=2&q=&sort=-star… 

and “star” the Contacts API (id 25) we will make sure this feature 
gets top priority from Google and thusly allow Spanning Sync’s team to 
work on a much awaited Address Book to Google Contacts sync. 

Imagine if all paying uers of Spanning Sync were to star this 

feature…. we would get it really fast hopefully.”  

If this post is correct, then that means my vote for certain functions in Google matters – furthermore it lets some people suggest new features.  

This, my friends, is the power I’ve been looking for.  

Here is a link to an updated “issues” list if you’re interested:

http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list

Most of these features are pretty complex as they are for people who write code (I think).  So I wonder if there is a site like this for us lay people???

Suggest a feature

I’m not one to really search for new blogposts or organize them with a blog reader.  But there are a few that I like to read from time to time.  So what do I do?  

1. In gmail account click on SETTINGS then WEBCLIPS.  
2. Remove all the clips you don’t care for
3. Add the blogs/other web stuff you want
