101 Things in 1001 days UPDATE: I have a new 101 Things to do in 1001 days list… keeping the tradition alive. {And still trying to finish a lot of things left from my original 101 list.} A while back I heard about this of “101 things to do in 1001 days” list. I was intrigued because the “lifelist” (aka bucket list) wasn’t going so well for me. I didn’t have a deadline, I didn’t really see myself finishing some of the things. And with the priorities changing, so did the list. Start date: June 3, 2010 End date: March 1, 2013 Things involving money… Write a book (#NaNoWriMo – 50,000 words in 30 days.

Cool Gadgets – Web Design Inspiration datadreamer - the work of aaron siegel Cool Websites | The Coolest Sites on the Web 101 Things in 1001 Days | Coffee Helps Some of you will remember my 101 Things to do in 1001 Days challenge, which I started way back at the start of 2009 in Estonia, and ended a few days before my 30th birthday last year. For those of you who don’t, the idea is that you come up with 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days, and aim to check them all off your list. The goals must be specific, not vague – things that you can confidently check off the list as having completed. (For example – instead of “get fit”, find measurable ways of achieving that, like “go to the gym 3 times a week for 3 months”, or “go to an exercise class”.) Well, it’s time to do it again. I completed 84 of my original 101 challenges. I’m excited to be setting out on this challenge again, because it did amazing things for me last time. So, here we go! Travel, travel, travel. Take better care of myself. Keep learning, improving my general knowledge, and exercising my brain. Try new things. Enjoy life. Write more. Do things that scare me. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Top 100 alternative search engines | Technology Although Google has a monopoly market share of searches, there is no shortage of alternatives, and Read/Write Web has a running list of the Top 100. The one for April includes 12 new search engines, though quite a few well known ones -- Ask, Live Search, Yahoo, Vivisimo, Knuru etc -- are missing. (The Top 100 has already listed 160 search engines so they may have appeared and been dropped.) The list has been improving with user feedback, so here are my two requests, based on the belief that the really interesting search engines are the ones that do things differently. First, if a search engine is using somebody else's search results (eg Google's), say what it's using. Second, please put the metasearch engines like DogPile in a separate list. There are lots of ways to innovate in search, including how you select and spider sites, how you process and rank the results, and how you present them.
Computer Hope's free computer help On ne dit pas… mais on dit… 40 Sites You Might Actually Use There are plenty of lists out there that do a good job of telling you the best applications for whatever occasion you could come up with. I decided to avoid a list of what is “best” and instead put together a list of sites that I actually use. You can probably find better alternatives for most of these categories, but all the applications I’ve listed here I fire up at least once a week. News and Bookmarking 1. Runner Up: Del.icio.us – Still a must visit for anyone looking for a website or two to break up the monotony. 2. Runner Up: YCombinator – A well executed news site in it’s own right. 3. Runner Up: Digg – Oh Digg, if only you weren’t so frustrating. Conversation 4. Runner Up: Plurk – It’s a much “cuter” version of Twitter with an innovative timeline interface. 5. Runner Up: Social Thing! 6. Runner Up: Tweetscan – Tweetscan used to be my favorite Twitter search engine, but the API caps have really hurt it. Multimedia 7. 8. 9. 10. Runner Up: 72 Photos – A new entrant into the market.
