Five Green Banannas
So far I have read two of the short stories…very enjoyable…I have after an absence started to make time for reading…Now each evening I am having some time for me and my book….I recommend this one very nice to pick up…each chapter in the collection is written by a different author and all done online…the authors have never met…what an interesting world of technology we live in.
Websites,50 of the best according to TIME
Just found Time magazines 2009 list of the 50 best websites. Some of my favourites are in there, Facebook, Flickr,Skype Wikipedia,Etsy to name a few. I also really liked Kiva ” Kiva links “micro-bankers” like you and me with screened “micro-preneurs” in the developing world”. My favourite was Supercook. “Open your fridge and pantry, type the ingredients you have into the site’s search bar and stand back. Supercook will look through its database of 300,000-plus recipes and spit out the ones that match. The result? You can start cooking right away”.
You still need cook the meal, but it gives great idea’s if you do not feel like doing the meal planning.
The Upside of Down
While in town yesterday, we accidently came upon an exhibition that stopped us in our tracks. “The Upside of Down” is a spectular and beautiful collection of photos by Eva Snoijink. The photos are dispersed through the fountains at Spui. The noise of the water brings even more life, expression and feeling to the exhibition. It’s breathtaking.
Communication…new media versus snail mail
Do you like letters, postcards, stamps and notepaper, or are you up to date with all the new social media? And more comfortable with “tweets”, blogs, facebook and all the different ways we can communicate ? A recent article in Time magazine profiles some companies that offer the perfect solution to users of both the “old” and “new”communication methods. Whatever your preference, its a great idea.
