buzz at eleven
My take on Buzz so far? *yawn*
But we'll see. In the meantime, if Google hasn't turned you on yet, you missed the announcement or haven't yet grown tired of the knee-jerky blog posts alternately slamming it as lame or presenting it as a social media game changer, this here is Google's official demo clip that shows how the thang works.

six years in the book of face
via mashable.com
All y'all probably know Facebook turned six last week. This handy dandy infographic from Mashable captures all the fun and funky stats about the site. It's pretty much illegible as an embed but you can click to Mashable and get to the full size image for the deets.

you had me at 'personal robots'
via youtube.com
Killer highlight reel of 1983's most awe-inspiring new gadgets: from portable cassette decks and palm-sized TVs to betamax recorders and (wait for it) personal robots "literally with minds of their own." Where do I get in line for one of those?
Bonus points for perms and special effects.

I see myself falling into a few of these - thankfully NOT 'dewey decimal system' though.

today i typed on google
I'm almost three years out of date on this one but today I happened across a now-defunct blog called 'Today I Typed on Google' and think it's dorky-cool. Basically, back in 2007 two bloggers published images of the top Google search result for a bunch of random things. The site provided an interesting window into how easily information on just about any subject -- from the sublime to the ridiculous -- can be had with just a few keystrokes. I also love that the authors gave Google a gender: it's a boy... :-)
It was a great concept. Somebody with a little extra time on his hands should be doing this today.
