This is a cool idea - I just installed it…we’ll see how it goes. (http://lifehacker.com/5121467/display-your-unread-message-count-in-the-gmail-favicon)  It puts your inbox unread items in the tab’s icon.

My twitter buddy @jskin recommended this plugin when I had made a call for a WordPress plugin to run duplicate content on multiple pages with different themes.  Thanks for the help Jeff.

Say what?  I can only think of a million ideas for this…heck, I’m not so sure you couldn’t build a CMS out of this concept.  (http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/2005/12/google-reader-api.html)

Google Reader is an online feed aggregator with heavy use of JavaScript and pretty quick loading of the latest feed data from around the web. Google’s AJAX front-end styles back-end data published in the Atom syndication format. The data technologies powering Google Reader can easily be used and extended by third-party feed aggregators for use in their own applications. I will walk you through the (previously) undocumented Google Reader API.

This could be an interesting development…now I just need more time.

I caught a post over at Ben Witherington’s blog, it was called “An atheist who thinks Christianity is good for Africa”

Here is an interesting article from the London Times kindly sent to me by Jim Foster written by an atheist who thinks Christianity is good for Africa. You’ll be intrigued to see why. Here is the link…..see what you think. BW3

I first ran across Ben when my pastor (thank you Scott) told me about him.  He’s a cool guy who definetly on the edge of some of the more liberal thinking about God.

I have a ton of ideas - most of them are just plain nuts.  But when I rea this post from andydrish.com - I got mad.  I had this idea about 1 1/2 years ago - and don;t et me wrong, I know it wasn’t revolutionary at the time…but it’s the point.

Here’s an opportunity that any twenty-something should be checking out… Ramit Sethi is giving away $2500 to a twenty-something with an entrepreneurial idea.   I started reading Ramit about a month ago.   He’s a genuine guy that is truly interested in helping others reach their dreams.

This scholarship is looking for someone with past entreprenurial experiences, a socially innovative idea, and lots of passion.   The winner will get a one time donation of $2500 and Ramit will mentor them as their projects begins to grow.

What I really want is a better way to track my brainstorms, I need to find a guy who knows flash.  I know of a cool wiki plaform which had a killer API and would work perfectly.

Nowhere on my list of places to fear robot overlords has strip club popped up.  To ensure that No Place Is Safe, someone has decided that we need some robot strippers and DJs.  Not only is it creepy, its composed of bots made from scrap.

So after all the chatter, we get a somewhat unknown as the 11th Doctor. People dance in the streets as the Robert Carlyle babbling finally dies down. This kid, Matt Smith, picks up the reigns after the specials. There seems to be some sort of trend lately with the increasingly awkward hair– and he fits the description. I suppose he is awkward overall making him a good fit.

Dr. Who fans lamented when they heard the current Dr. Who wouldn’t be returning as the good doctor. It’s been a long wait but we’ve finally found out who the new Dr. Who is going to be. It’s deffinetly a “wait, who??” moment. A British born actor by the name of Matt Smith, who’s relatively unknown in the United States, has been announced as the new, and youngest, Dr. Who. Born in 1982, he beats out Dave Tennant by eleven years.

Citing a subpar holiday season and Sony’s Playstation 3 still being the most expensive console, an article in the Wall Street Journal this week indicates there is almost no way the PS3 can catch the Xbox 360 or Nintendo Wii in sales. In early results, November 2008 sales of Sony’s controversial console were down 19 percent from the same period in 2007.

During that same time, the Nintendo Wii’s sales doubled and Microsoft Xbox 360 went up 8 percent according to stats supplied by research firm NPD. That makes Sony’s corporate goal of selling 10 million PS3s by March 2009 seem like a long shot. The article also notes that at $399, the PS3 is far and away the most expensive console on the market. During a global recession, that’s not a great distinction to have. It’s hurting Sony’s overall bottom line as the company’s electronics division isn’t as profitable as it used to be. Many analysts think that prevented Sony from slashing the PS3 price for this holiday season.

These numbers may surprise economists but probably not gamers.

Nintendo has ridden its newly harvested crop of casual gamers to the top of the industry with the Nintendo Wii. That console has become a huge hit in spite of a large percentage of shovelware and lack of any big titles released since Mario Kart in the spring. Hardware shortages made the Wii a tough find again this Christmas season, earning it a great deal of publicity in mainstream media. Microsoft Xbox 360 is becoming the console of choice for the hardcore gamer as exclusives like Gears of War 2 propel its holiday sales. The 360 cut its price to $199, earning it a solid hold on second place for the time being.

One of Sony’s major selling points touts the PS3 as an inexpensive Blu-Ray player but, with customers being slow to adopt that technology, regular Blu-Ray players have dipped to $200. There’s still a lot of this console war to go, but Sony does appear to have a climb comparable to the one its game hero Kratos undertook when he climbed Mount Olympus.
