A few weeks ago, I was picked by Nationwide Insurance company to be on an electronic billboard in Times Square. Apparently, I was up for 5 days which is nice. :)
I found an online web camera that had two views of the billboard and I made some screenshots for you. The picture is of me riding a pink horse with a blue mane that my daughter Annika took. Thanks Annika!

I just got an ad on the homepage of google. I think this is a first. It says this:

Love puzzles & Da Vinci Code?
Enter the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google, a series of 24 cerebral challenges inspired by the upcoming movie, and you could win trips to New York, Paris, London, and Rome.

What I found funny is the name. “Da Vinci Code Quest [on] Google”. When you click the link, you are taken to Sony Pictures. Hmmmm.

Today I discovered the Google Calendar web application and am extremely impressed with it’s features. Its from Google, so you know it has to be slick. And it is.
If you don’t have a google account, you’ll need one to sign up for this free service. When one of your “events” occurs, you can be notified via email, sms, a pop-up, or your cell phone. Yep, I said cell phone. Not all cell phone providers are available yet, but give it a little time. Most of the major carriers are online.
To access your notification settings, click on the “Settings” link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and then select “Notifications”.
I emplore you to try this out. Access your calendar from any computer at any time. Drop Outlook now while you can. :)
