Pictures of the Year 2005

The related link, monstrous as it is, has a nice slideshow of pictures that in the author’s mind best describe the year 2005. Worth a look for sure.

Google Zeit Geist

This is a pretty neat “Year in Review” look at Google searches.

It turns out that looking at the aggregation of billions of search queries people type into Google reveals something about our curiosity, our thirst for news, and perhaps even our desires. Considering all that has occurred in 2005, we thought it would be interesting to study just a few of the significant events, and names that make this a memorable year. (We’ll leave it to the historians to determine which ones are lasting and which ephemeral.) We hope you enjoy this selective view of our collective year.

Free iPod?

I’m trying to get a free iPod Nano and need 5 more people to complete a free offer. I’ve completed one myself and it was completely painless. I signed up, received a letter in the mail, waited 2 weeks, then called and cancelled. No questions asked. You do need a credit card though. Wanna help me out? I’d do it for you. Email me or click this link.
