You’re Seeking Failure When You Cling to a Single Idea – Lifehacker

I am really good at having a ton of ideas… but the opposite is true as well. Sometimes we need to stick with one idea long enough to figure it out. Imagine if Ben Franklin had given up on the idea of electricity… sure would have made it hard to have computers… :)

Coming soon: make your phone your wallet

I really like the idea of putting all the stuff on my phone. Some days I think I’d be more worried if I lost my phone than my wallet. Either way, I’m all for convenience. I sure hope this picks up. I haven’t had a mastercard for years, but today I am wishing I did. :)

Introducing the people widget

This looks pretty cool. Kind of like Google’s weaksauce, late attempt at facebook. But it integrates with Gmail… so at least like a billion people will use it. :)

Xoom vs. iPad

A good review from a colleague of mine. I have yet to try the Xoom, but this at least gives me hope there is an Android competitor out there. I also use the iPad a lot, but mostly to entertain my kids. :)

Neat. Another way we can contribute to passing on the word. I love this sort of thing.

This is great. The church has tons of great media. In a world of ever worsening standards for entertainment it is good to have a good resource we can use to strengthen ourselves and our families.

Making financial comparisons easy with Google Advisor

This is really cool. I played around for a few minutes and found that the difference between a 15 year fixed and a 30 year fixed is like $300… Crazy. By paying an extra $300 I can be totally done with paying my mortgage in 1/2 as much time. That is just awesome.

Plizy iPad App Could Be A Flipboard-meets-Pandora For Video

This sounds like an interesting startup. Almost everyone knows and loves Pandora (even my mom now a days). I am trying to watch less tv, not more, but if I could really control and find good and wholesome things to watch that would be handy when I just wanted to veg for a bit.

YouTube Town Hall: where your views count

I am always on the lookout for more politically informed and involved. This is at least a start. I worry, however that folks will find ways to falsely tip the votes, or people will not fully understand all the parts of a decision. Still a great start even with the worries.

This is big news for educators and researchers. Anyone that does anything serious with excel needs to have pivot tables. Very excited to see this.
