Blog Blogging
I found a plugin for WordPress that allows me to auto-blog stories of interest from other sites with a single click. While I provide ample reference and links to the original sites, I am wondering if any of you (all 3 of you who visit my site
 have any thoughts about this.
Legally, I am in full compliance with the terms of use of the different sites, and happy to provide them with additional oh so precious Google Page Rank. This also helps my site by providing me with free content on topics I like from sites I like. Is this a win-win situation or what?
Find drugs on your iPhone
Haha, no, it’s not what you think. It’s a medical dictionary of medical drugs on the iPhone. I installed this when I first got my iPhone 3G. I have actually used it myself to check my blood pressure med against my alergy meds. Not bad at all.
Full disclosure: I have friends who work for Epocrates.
Did you know Google could do that?
“answer to life the universe and everything times the number of horns on a unicorn times (coulomb per furlong) = 0.208780721 s A / m”

CirculaFloor tracks your feet’s motion
One of the missing pieces to the holodeck I am still waiting for: The Circulafloor! Apparently it tracks where your feet are and puts a square step in front of you where you are about to step. It looks kinda slow for FPS action but still a step forward (excuse the pun).
Prototyping website makes building your ideas easy as drawing
Using several drawing tools, you draw your design for cutting on their templates and upload it to Ponoko. You can pick from wood, acrylic, styrene and others. They say they’ll be adding new materials soon. They have a bunch of samples, some as big as tables. Too bad they don’t do metal or composites. Imagine the possibilities!
