Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty. True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist. We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=289 I don't know about you, but sitting in the same position all day is really a pain, literally. It's almost as if our backs have become accustomed to being in that one position, and are slowly evolving into a stiff curvature which keeps us in the seated position at all times. And we can't stay in that position ALL of the time, no matter how nerdy we might be. Though there might be a solution to staying with your computer in a much more comfortable and lounge-like atmosphere. The Surf Chair looks like a total dream to use for gaming, or darn near any sort of long-term computer session. Designed by Kenneth Lylover for the 'Internet Collection' competition at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair, the Surf Chair snagged the title for Winner of 'Best Product' at the event. And from just looking at the thing, you can tell it has earned its spot. The Surf Chair mounts the monitor at an easily viewed height, though interestingly (and actually disappointingly) enough, doesn't include some sort of fold out table for the keyboard and mouse. The peripherals are kinda left hanging on your lap. Though for the name of design, this was probably left out for a reason.

If yes here's something you might be interested in. I'm not telling you to call the dog to lick up any food spilled on the kitchen floor, Dirt Devil has a better way to save energy. The new AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac use 70% less energy - making AccuCharge the first cordless cleaning technology to earn Energy Star approval. What I really like about the AccuCharge Stick Vac is that it really is easy to use, cordless and of course it's design. Speaking of design, the KURV is also a rechargeable, cordless hand held vacuum cleaner created with convenience in mind. You can use the KURV for daily upkeep and for crumbs and dust and spills that happen frequently. If you happen a buy a vacuum from Dirt Devil you will get a 3 year warranty for it. So you can easily clean your house everyday and save energy for your children, and for your children's children. And don't save energy just because you're using vacuums from Dirt Devil, start saving energy yourself by any means. Shutdown your computer when you're not using it ( nobody cares about your idle ), close all electrical appliances when not in use and so on. http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=285 We all know that people make money because they are talented at something. But sometimes that talent can earn you more money than you ever thought. This is why me and one of my friends which is very talented with a pencil in his hand will start a new sketch website, logo designing and graphics and so on. Here are a few drawings he made yesterday while we were drinking coffee and catching up on things (I didn't see him in a while). He has talent right ? What do you think of this sketches ? Would you like to see a website dedicated to his work ? If yes, stay tuned. I'm working on it http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=284 How many of you started a business but got stuck even from the beginning ? A lot of people wanted to give up because they had no customers. In our days, a lot of customers come from the internet. If you don't believe it then you probably should know that 71% of consumers start their Internet visit at a search engine! Network Solutions offers pay per click advertising. Featuring 2 great plans they offer "sponsored listings" (PPC ads) that appear on the Google and Yahoo search networks when customers enter keywords relevant to your business. They have 2 great plans. In case you want to start off really quickly then you should opt in for their Fully Managed Custom Plans that design custom landing pages for your website and put your ads even on Google Maps. A lot of people need customers close to their business, but if your business is worldwide then you should opt in for the Pre-Packaged Starter Plans (doesn't offer phone advertising like the Fully Managed Custom Plan). Imagine that customers will call you. You know you want that, right ? Anyway this is a great way to start getting busy with your business.

You know how sad you get until you find it. I know that the last time I didn't manage to find one of my new born kitties I almost cried. And what do you know ? He was just sleeping in the garden right below some roses. All of this could change easily by GPS Tracking your pets. This really is a great idea. Just imagine that you'd know where your pet is, how much he stays there. If you'd attach a video camera on him you'd see to. I wouldn't agree to this ... where would his privacy be at ? BrickHouseSecurity has a lot of GPS devices you can get for your car, children and pets. What I really like is their GPS data logger. The advantage of a data logger is very detailed report at a low cost with no monthly fees. If you're at work, and you are really busy and you don't have to check your child or pet you can always take a break and see what he's been up to. Does your cat have a lover ? Would you get a GPS device to track your pet ?http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=281 These look cool right ? Wait and see what they can do and of course what's gonna be made on the same principle. Created by Chinese display manufacturer Seekway, this prototype 3D LED display cube was created using a 16x16x16 grid of interconnected color LEDs (that's a whopping 4096 individual diodes). Each cube is capable of displaying animations at up to 30 frames per second and each dot can be individually addressed for both color and intensity. Now that the prototype is complete, Seekway is gearing up to produce versions with grids as large as 48x48x48, which will require more than 110,000 LEDs.http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=280 Configure One's Concept Product Configurator Software is specifically designed for manufacturing companies who produce products that are highly configurable or are routinely customized to meet the unique needs of the manufacturers' customers.

Afterwards, you question what you wrote and wonder if you got the details correct. In some cases, the solution to this problem would be to record the entire meeting or class and play the audio back later. But what about when you only need certain parts of the conversation, or when you just can't bring a tape recorder along? The answer may very well be the Pulse smartpen from Livescribe. This pen pairs with a special notebook to do things that you'd never expect a pen to do. When you're taking notes, you can set the pen to record what's being said as you write. When you're reviewing your notes, you can confirm that what you wrote is what was actually said. The Pulse pen can also recognize images in the special notebook, such as an image of a calculator that is pre-printed in the front of the notebook. Just touch the pen to the numbers and it performs the functions of any regular calculator, with the answer being displayed on the small screen on the side of the pen. What is perhaps the most impressive feature of the Pulse pen and its accompanying notebook is its search feature. You can upload the contents of the notebook to the included software, then view them on your computer exactly as they appear in the notebook. You can then search the notes for specific words, and the search will include not only the notes that you jot down -...http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=274 We all like sweets right ?

Nobody dies on a Mac thanks to our innovative training iWeels. It will always have a steady speed and it doesn't let you customize it so you don't ruin it. All Macs are identical and all include the minimalistic, trendy design which makes up for the price. This price happens to be twice as much as it would cost if you built it yourself with the same exact parts. It can only travel on roads made for Macs (less than 1% of all roads), and can use only Mac-modified fuel, which is very expensive. Nobody dies on a MAC There are some choices for a PC. There are infinite posibilities. You can even create one with the same parts as a Mac. It's hard to drive, but if you learn to do it, you'll reach 230 km/h in a few seconds. Many people die because it's hard to handle. You can customize it any way you like. Most roads were made for it so it can drive on 98% of them. It uses whatever fuel you design it to use.

People with documents in their hands look like hardworking employees heading for important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they're heading for the cafeteria. People with a newspaper in their hand look like they're heading for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you do. Use computers to look busy. Any time you use a computer, it looks like work to the casual observer. You can send and receive personal e-mail, calculate your finances and generally have a blast without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about but they're not bad either. When you get caught by your boss -and you *will* get caught - your best defence is to claim you're teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training dollars. Messy desk. Top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like you're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile them high and wide.

Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok. Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails. Man who eat many prunes get good run for money. Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk. Panties not best thing on earth! But next to best thing on earth. War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.

Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. Man who stand on toilet is high on pot. Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement. Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs.

Sometimes, however, they underestimate the cubic feet of space required, and a second truck must be brought in to pick up the things left behind. This situation is aptly called a leave behind, and clients are still only charged the cost of one truck. If you don't want to deal with the expense of a moving company, you can easily rent a Penske moving truck from several different companies. By finding a good moving truck rental, you can transport your goods across the continental United States for a lower price than what most movers charge. What I like about MovingOrbit.com is that you can get multiple estimates for local and interstate moving companies. You can select the mover that gives you the best price and protection for your valuables.

The original pyramids serve as a testament to the mathematical skill of the Egyptians, a skill that stimulated Greek mathematicians, including Pythagoras, to perfect their work. The Great Pyramid, built by Khufu (Cheops) in 2550 BC, for example, stands an impressive 46m (150ft) high, with a slope of 51degrees. Its sides, with an average length of 230m (754ft), vary by less than 5cm (2in). Higher than St Paul's Cathedral, the pyramid was aligned with amazing accuracy almost exactly to true north. But the pyramids are more than mathematical puzzles. They hold the key to understanding the structure of Egyptian society. The pyramids were built, not by the gangs of slaves often portrayed by Hollywood film moguls, but by a workforce of up to 5,000 permanent employees, supplemented by as many as 20,000 temporary workers, who would work for three or four months on the pyramid site, before returning home. The thing is something was just found in a pyramid: a writing that fascinated me. Egyptians knew Internet Explorer would suck. Here's an image not found pyramid writing http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=247 Today I want to talk to you about hosting and which one is best for you. Hosting is a service that allows you to put your website on the internet. After you have thought of a name for your website and registered the domain name, the next step is to find a web hosting service from a web hosting provider. The war between Microsoft and Open Source goes on. You can have Windows hosting or linux web hosting. You now have to choose. I prefer linux because it's better, safer and more stable (and don't worry, linux isn't good just for servers ... it's good for your personal computers to). The only bad thing about linux hosting is that you will have to chmod the files if you plan on editing them through a web browser. And that's not something that could make you change your mind. I never used Windows hosting for 1 reason: I want my website to be up and I don't want to lose all my files because the server crashed. You can also read more on hosting here. What type of hosting do you prefer and why ?http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=246 We all know what a pain can be to search for a wireless network to connect while on the run somewhere. Not to mention that you will also lose some battery while turning on your laptop and search for a wireless network. This is where Kensington's WiFi Finder Plus comes in handy. The convenient, one-button WiFi Finder Plus quickly indicates signal strength for all 802.11b, 802.11b/g and active Bluetooth enabled networks within range. Compact device attaches easily to laptop carrying case or key chain. Silver case with 6 LEDs and built-in flashlight. 1-year warranty and free technical support. It's cheep also, can be bought for only $29.99. http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=245 There's certainly no shortage of waterproof gadgets out there for you to take along on your next swimming or diving adventure, but if you still haven't found an MP3 player that meets your needs, you may want to consider Ubanana's new uCan device, which is at least a tad better looking than some of the other wearable options currently available. You'll have to make do with a mere 1GB of memory, however, but you will get a decent 15 hours of battery life, and you can rest assured that it'll float to the surface for easy retrieval if it slips off while you're plundering the ocean's depths (up to ten feet deep, at least). Look for this one to set you back EUR99 (or $150), with it set to start shipping in July. Via Engadgethttp://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=244 According to Cracked.com these are five of the most repeated urban myths. 1. You accidentally swallow about eight spiders a year in your sleep Why it's not true: Spiders have a natural instinct to stay alive and crawling into the heavy-breathing hot, wet mouths of animals goes strongly against this. Who started it: Back in 1993 a columnist for PC Professional named Lisa Holst decided to prove that you could make up anything on the internet and people would believe it. She did this by making up a set of facts that were utterly ridiculous, the spider myth among them (which itself was taken from a collection of insect folklore that dates back to the 1950s, and emailing her findings around the world. 2. You Only Use 10% of Your Brain (but if you were only less lazy or stupid you could use more) Why it's not true: The parts of the brain are specialized, so trying to use all of it at once isn't going to make you any smarter. That would be like trying to become a better writer by striving to use all the keys on your keyboard in every sentence. Who started it? A series of neurologists over the past few hundred years figured out that a human can survive when parts of the brain are removed. Over time, this was misinterpreted to mean that the brain uses little of its potential, and thus the 10 per cent statistic was born. 3. Men think about sex every seven seconds Why is it a load of rubbish? If men thought about sex every seven seconds it would be...http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=243 If you are a teenager in high school, or a college student like me, there are a number of barriers in the way to your entry into car ownership. When you are young and invincible, you have all these starry eyed dreams about the car you are going to get, then reality sets in and you realise that there is no way you could get all that cash as fast as you plan to drive the car. I remembered about a Car Loan service which offers a reputable source of car financing for customers nationwide. New Car Loans can help you buy new or used cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles, or vans. And the best thing is that getting a car loan from Car Loans is fast and as always there are never any application fees when you apply online. What are you waiting for ? Got buy that car you always wanted.http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=242 Today I installed Ubuntu in a friends PC. He is not new into computers but he wanted some pointers first on using Ubuntu. We went through all the install steps really quickly as he knows that sort of stuff. Because his keyboard is a lot different than mine I made a mistake when entering the password. And guess what ?! I made the same mistake twice and so the installer continued. After it finished installing I rebooted his computer, took out the bootable CD from the drive. Everything ok until I had to login. Now the password didn't work at all. Luckaly on my home computer I experienced some hard disk problems and I had to enter Ubuntu's recovery mode. I saw that in recovery mode you are automaticly logged in as root. So I went to recovery mode by rebooting my friends computer and pressing the Escape key as right before GRUB loaded. As soon as everything finished I was in a shell logged in as root. Hooray. All I had to do was to change the password for his user by typing: password username and entering a new password twice. I watched the keyboard while entering the new password. I rebooted the computer again and logged in succesfully. Of course I could have always reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch ... but this was faster.http://savasplace.com/journal.php?sxEntryID=241
