First - more nija looking stuff - http://screen.v1.myvirtualpaper.com/directory/2007092101/en/ but this is a good recourse to have as a bookmark.
US more so than world ... CompUSA the electronics retailer will close all stores after Christmas. For me ... Only alternative to the Apple Store (over priced) but for cables and access, this may be a good time to replace or stock up on firewire, bluetooth etc ... http://www.compusa.com/

Google is creating a server farm up in Oregon that could eventually become the data center of the universe. It could provide all types of new services, applications, and devices to deliver a type of personal and business ecosystem that connects devices to it and each other seamlessly. I believe Google will model its system on Apple's successful software, hardware, and services, which are extremely easy to use and, more important, tied together seamlessly.
And as always ... something shinny and new this way comes .... http://www.pageflakes.com/ I started learning this beta for an Apple widget builder ... then my computer died ... looked at google's builder but do not know enough to figure out what I need on my machine. Snowflake looks easy ... must stay focused...

Most travel sites focus on places to go and ways to get there. What most lack is a real feel for what you can do when you get there. What's Your 20 focuses a more on what to do, once you're there. The site is catered to the outdoorsy type, so expect to see lots of fishing trips, hiking trails, ski resorts, and campgrounds. http://whatsyour20.com/

But I liked the look of Rails and the Ruby ... which is now Drupal looking and other alternatives ... http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2230715,00.asp

IBM and Partners Move Closer to 32-NM Chips http://www.eweek.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=221270,00.asp
"...IBM says its next-generation 32-nanometer chips will cut down on power leakage and reduce the processor's size.
IBM is moving a step closer delivering the first of its first 32-nanometer microprocessors with an announcement that it has developed a high-k metal gate manufacturing technology, which promises to reduce the power that leaks from a chip's transistors while reducing the overall size of its chips."
After the first of the year!!! I would like to pull you in on a demo of this gear ... The idea will be to do two (me & you) or more locations and run this through some tests. http://www.lifesize.com/ The guy just called me again (I started this when I had a potential paying client/user in mind, they bailed) ... this would be a real demo of the gear ... hands on in all locations (2 or more)
