Google AI

I couldn't remember who Rutgers played next. To save me a couple key strokes I simply Googled "Rutgers Football".

Poof. Before the first search result is the answer to my question. This probably scares content creators, but I like it.

Better GReader & Helvetireader

The Helvetireader theme in the Better GReader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6424) FireFox add-on dramatically improves the browser experience of Google Reader.

If you use Google Reader and FireFox I highly recommend checking it out.

US Airways

Just wanted to give a big shout out to US Airways.

Over the last couple of months they have consistently been cheaper and easier to fly than Continental.

Today I arrived at the terminal a couple hours early. While using the kiosk I was informed there was an early flight and asked if I wanted to switch. I clicked yes, selected a seat and was on my way home about 2.5 hours earlier than expected. There were no extra feels, screens, etc. Just good old fashion do the right thing and get you on the road. Thanks!

Fire Alarm Fail

I just might have to see if this is true.

I have stayed in quite a few hotels. None of them have had this warning. Instead of buy 300 signs and subjecting your visitors to fire drills, why not just fix the problem?

Mono not Chasing Tail Lights

Unsurprisingly someone attacked Miguel and Mono for "always chasing tail lights" which is a common logical fallacy that the anti-Mono folks love to argue...

Doodle Jump

The 99 cent iPhone game,  Doodle Jump (http://DoodleJump.LimaSky.com) is a great bargain and a ton of fun. 

In addition, it has the best social integration of any game I have played up to this point:

1. It as one click access to post scores to Twitter
2. It has one click access to post scores to Facebook and will then compare scores with your friends
3. It will quickly and easily generate an email you can send to your friends to further change
