I could not be more proud of what Kevin has put fourth. The spill in the Gulf is a problem, and it is massive one, but this machine is a solution for at least part of it and BP needs to get behind it and put it to work in a massive scale, fast!

I would love the combination of Jeff Koons and this new dye-sensitized solar cell, which just won the 2010 Millennium Technology Prize – more info through the link. Seriously, Jeff, can you hook me up with a 15 foot metallic ballon dog that would also power my house?

8 Ways FarmVille Designs for Engagement

I have never been a Farmville fanatic but I absolutely love studying what makes it such an incredible successful and addicting game, nicotine? This article highlights 8 simple steps that should be a base for the creation of any new social game that hopes to compete with the Facebook farmers of the world. 

It is truly amazing that these tiny psychological rewards keep millions of people coming back to Farmville everyday and even spending money to keep their e-farm as bountiful and beautiful as possible. How can more industries use this tactic? Specifically, providing such strong motivation for including your friends and daily use.

What if every time I entered a Crunch gym and scanned my card I automatically checked-in on Foursquare, but that I also got double points if I came with a friend, and also a multiplier for how many times I have been that week.

A Paperless Flight

I type this sitting on a flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles with a wide eyed stare following the beautiful California coast. I was recently gifted a Kindle and I am a huge fan thus far. My first action was buying Rework by the amazing 37signal founders Jason Fried and David Hansson, the book alone is worth a separate post once I fully digest the fresh wisdom spawned in the book.

The Kindle makes reading an effortless exercise, unlike my cross trainer session this morning that kicked my ass. I love how easily pages turn and how quickly I get into a great reading zone. I have also thrown some PDF documents on it and though the screen can not zoom or increase font size, the joy of flipping through documents away from my laptop is worth the sacrifice.

My last praise is for the Kindle’s highlighting function. I’m a huge highlighting fanatic, when I am reading I will highlight sections I love and also dog ear the bottom of pages. It is quite the process but is the best way I have found to quickly find quotes that I wished to come back to. The Kindle allows me to highlight any section of text and pulls all highlights into “My Clippings” document that becomes a best-of from any book I read — I love it!

I know I am late to the game for e-readers, and I could and likely will try to replace the Kindle with a slate device, but for now I’m loving my new Kindle, even if the flight attendant forces me to shut it off for take off and landing.

Google, Apple, Jacob, And The Man In Black

Perfect article on Apple vs. Google from the view of the Dharma Initiative. Much like the writer I also love both Apple and Google products because I believe they are the best in their fields. But, these two companies we have trusted to playing nicely in the past have taken a sharp turn for serious competition.
