Odds & Ends (06/01/08)

Filed Under (Odds & Ends, technology) by Heather Loy on 01-06-2008 and tagged , , ,

BBC News: “Isolated tribe spotted in Brazil” – It is hard to imagine in this day and age that there are still parts of this world unexplored.

CNN.com: “How to harvest solar power? Beam it down from space” – I found this alternative energy source idea very appealing.

CNN.com: “Stonehenge was a place of burial, researchers say” – I so would love to visit this site. Maybe one of these days!?

New York Times: “Billboards That Look Back” – Creepy. I’m against this. Security cameras are one thing, but billboards that are “watching” me is going too far in my opinion.

New York Times: “The Miracle Fruit, a Tease for the Taste Buds” – I think this would be interesting to try…wonder if it would make “health” foods taste better? Maybe I’d be able to eat Brussels sprouts and other good for you foods I can’t stand. Of course, at $2 – $2.50 a berry, I don’t think it’s something I’ll be trying anytime soon.

MyRocketbook.com – I haven’t had a chance to explore completely and I’ve only looked at the free access stuff for the Scarlet Letter, but looks good! When I have time (ha, ha) I’ll see what it takes to register to access the rest of their offerings.
