Odds & Ends (06/01/08)
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.
