Visible Body Brings Human Anatomy to the Browser
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on March 03, 2008
This morning Robert Scoble unveiled video of Microsoft's World Wide Telescope project in action. It's definitely worth watching (even if Scoble's camera work is as amateurish as ever), because though it didn't bring me to tears, it does look like a pretty amazing piece of software. The purpose of the software is to provide access to the world's collected astronomical data...

Defrag Your Office for Increased Efficiency [Workspace]
via Lifehacker by Gina Trapani on May 30, 2008
One of the side effects of having so much stuff to help us get work done is dealing with the clutter it creates in our workspace. But just like you can defragment a hard drive—organize the bits and bytes so that related ones are closest to one another for faster access—you can also defrag your office to make it more efficient. Put your stuff out of the way but within reach, and make it easy...

Publish Blogger Posts to a Future Date
via Google Operating System by Ionut Alex Chitu on February 14, 2008
Sometimes you want to take a week off from your blog, but it's difficult to stop posting and keep your readers and search engine bots waiting for new posts. One way to handle this is to write a number of posts in advance that are automatically posted while you are away.Blogger didn't offer this feature, so the only workaround was to use a service that schedules email delivery (like...

Practice What You Preach: Nine Inch Nails Gives Away New Album
via Mashable! by Stan Schroeder on March 02, 2008
It’s not like we doubted him, but Trent Reznor really meant it when he said that he hates the way the music industry operates and that he encourages sharing of his music on the internet. Nine Inch Nails have put up the first volume of their album ‘Ghosts’ on torrent sites, under a creative commons license. If you want the whole package of the multi volume album (36 tracks!), though, you...

Give an Old Laptop New Life with Cheap (or Free) Projects [Feature]
via Lifehacker: Feature by Kevin Purdy on February 21, 2008
Like a famed race horse or a classic book, you don't just throw away a laptop because it's banged up a little. Even if it seems outdated and underpowered, most any laptop is still small, quiet, and relatively low on power consumption, making it a seriously valuable spare to keep handy—even without a working screen. With some free software, a little know-how and some creative thinking...
