So you know, I was just looking at the world's top 1000 websites and a few there looked interesting. So I guess I will tell you what ones seem interesting:
Blogspot is number 7. That's interesting. I thought it would be ranked farther down then that.
I like Bing. It's number 13. I like Bing because it has that trip advisor to tell you when flight prices are going to be lower so that you can plan your trip and not spend lots of money! :)
Ebay is 24th on the list and I thought it would be ranked higher up closer to number one because soooo many people use it but whatever.
Well there's just a sample of what I thought was interesting. I'm not going through all 1000 to see what I like. :)

APP or CRAP?

APP or CRAP? That's the question. In apple's App store there are apps that help parents do their parenting. There are even apps that help manage kids time-outs. I think this is a little over the top and I think old-School parenting is the best way to go. At least you get to talk to your child face to face instead of having an iPhone or ipod touch do all the interacting. And maybe kids are acting up and such because they don't get enough face to face time with their parents and too much time with the screen. It just seems a bit too crazy ans bizarre. Old-school all the way is what I have to say. Hey that rhymes!
PIXAR!

So at pixar they make amazing movies right? That's what I thought. But the people a Pixar have a strategy for cranking out such good movies. It all starts with the fun and interesting layout of the building. It helps all the creators and directors of the movies we love to think creatively and be productive. Instead of having a traditional workspace, Pixar provides employees with tons of out of this world unusual workspaces. As long as Pixar does this, they will be churning out hit movies time and time again. Saying that, I don't think that Pixar movies are ever finished because they leave room for people to think and expand on the subject. I don't think they are ever finished because the it gives the people at Pixar another reason to make another hit movie and rake in millions of dollars. They leave people wanting more so that when the new movie comes out, all the people that saw the previous movie will come and watch this one. It's a marketing strategy I think. :)


Cd tray to ipod dock? crazy but true!
So, do you know that little thing that slides out of your computer when you press the button and a cd goes in it? The optical drive? Well, no one really uses theirs anymore because when we want to install a program we can just look to the internet. So if you don't use your optical drive anymore and you own an ipod, you can turn the optical drive into an ipod dock! You first have to cut a hole in the cd large enough to fit the plastic docker that came with the ipod. Then tape the docker to the cd, attach the cable that comes with the ipod to the ipod and computer and you are set! It's waaaaaay cheaper than the one apple makes! But note that you should make sure that your cd tray doesn't close when the computer is shut off or after a certain period of time after first opening the cd tray. Have fun! :)

So blackberry is moving forward in society! Instead of just servicing able bodied people, they are staring to move towards the field of visual impairment. They are changing their set up for a multi-tap keyboard user interface which gives auditory responses to letters that the blind hit etc. So you may wonder... how can a person who is blind send or receive and email? Well, there is this program called thunder where you download the software and then the computer or phone talks to them and reads the email. And all you use is the keyboard. i don't know if this is what mr. curtis is looking for... I'm sorry
