Creative bookshelves
I love books. But sometimes they take up too much room at home and stay in the way. If only there were more creative bookshelves... ;)
The Spear
The Spear by Louis de Wohl
Louis de Wohl takes the reader back to the times of the Roman Empire, to follow the story of Cassius Longinus, one of the Roman soldiers that will witness the death of Jesus.
The Gospels are very well woven into the story. The book provides plenty of fresh perspective on the life of Rabbi Yeshua.
Someone that you probably heard of, for sure ;)

Useful Google Bookmarklets
A bookmarklet is a very small program that is stored as a web browser bookmark (or favorite) and is executed when you select it.
There are many useful ones, like these for Delicious, and these for Google.
Excellent time savers!

Robot talk
Robots are creating their own language as part of a project involving the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology. Researchers have taught two robots how to speak, but have not given them a specific language. Instead, the robots are making up words for each new place they visit and thing they see.

Which technologies get better faster?
Some forms of technology — think, for example, of computer chips — are on a fast track to constant improvements, while others evolve much more slowly. Now, a new study by researchers at MIT and other institutions shows that it may be possible to predict which technologies are likeliest to advance rapidly, and therefore may be worth more investment in research and resources.
