To Like or to Tweet a page makes sense, Digg and gazillion others.  Now Google has released +1…seeing that I lag far behind the times I might as well jump aboard, but really +1?  I mean, how many people are going to see the +1 button and know what it means?  Could they have not come with something better than +1?   Google has invented a whole lot of great things, many of which are free and highly useful, but this attempt to move into social search seems rather…lame.  It seems this social recommendation concept gets spread thinner and thinner.  Facebook has a strong presence in this realm but perhaps it’s Twitter that’s really the leader…Arg, I really need to catch up with the times…

My friend Doug and I used to talk about opening a restaurant called Bacon… Looks like Denny’s has come up with some of the best menu items ever:

WTF, jury duty!  I don’t want to deal with that. I’m so tempted to say I can’t read, write or speak!  :-)

But I guess I wouldn’t be able to fill out the form in that case…

Amazon Cloud Player on Android

 

Might Amazon.com kill the mp3 player?  Amazon announced their new cloud player recently, what an awesome idea – something people have been pleading with Apple to do with iTunes.  Amazon is moving forward with the future of computing, the cloud.  I decided to check it out, and I have to say it’s amazing!

They offer 5 GB for free and you can upload your own collection, which I am currently doing now.  The concept is simple, you upload your music to Amazon and you can listen to it anywhere – at home, laptop and best off all, your cell phone – and it’s free!  Really cool, however, it appears iPhone have been left in the dark as it appears to only work with the Android OS.  Hmm…what to do with that iPod Touch of mine…

The image above is in the backyard for the start of the perimeter piping system to drain water from the sump pumps.  Below shows how the piping actually pitches down to move the water towards side of the house…

 

 

Ta-da!  Below is the remainder of pvc piping.  The two little tables knocked over on their side make an illusion as if the pipe is sloping up, but it’s not.  In between the fence and the green bush is where the second pump drains out.  It too, connects to the pipe and the remaining pipe extends about half way to my front yard.  Big thanks to Mike Guertin for setting this up!  Of course as we put it together he said, “Now that we got it set up it probably will not be needed.”  Sure enough the water in sump pits has been receding…

I wondered if two plus feet of snow for two months may work in my favor…it just might, but it’s still early…
