Technical notes
Boingo:
:cmaslol Not sure if y'all know about this already, but came across a cool feature of Google Search when combined with Twitter.
If you go to Google Search and enter something like this ---> "keyword" twitter
Then on the Google Search page you get, along with other items, a small scroll box which is constantly updating with Twitter messages that have the "keyword". Cool.... it keeps doing this without any refreshing, and will do so until you click "pause". So you can set up an initial search and just sit back and watch the twitters roll in, continually. You can also scroll back to see any you've missed. :jam:
TARAsia Fan:
That's new. Part of the real-time search feature Google added.
Boingo:
:cmaslol just happened to be watching the NASA channel (yes, yes, I'm bored....) and saw this cool link:
http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/
It's a collection of the hundreds of thousands of actual photos US astronauts have taken from outer space during the entire history of the space program. It's searchable, so you can find your house (if you're lucky). Kinda like a Google Earth view, only from about 200 miles up in space. hmmmm... now if we can only get the ISS to track Phil and the racers in real time from space.... :cmas19
Slowhatch:
A startup named Keitor might prove to be a time-saver. A front-end for Google, it has a drop-down box for translation and filetype filters you can click on. What sets it apart are the virtual keyboards you can enable: Basque, Armenian, Thai, Kazakh, etc.

NASA owns part of CBS so it's impossible :lol:
