Well, this blog has been a lot of fun for me. And I know a lot of people have really enjoyed reading it. So it is with a great deal of sadness that I am having to bring it to an end.

With the large amounts of travel that my new job entails, I just don’t have the time to keep this blog up. So I want to say goodbye to all my readers.

Next time you need help with a game of scrabble, you might take a look at the Text Twist Unscrambler. The site is pretty basic, but it is very functional. You enter a list of letters, and it gives you all possible word combinations using some or all of the letters. Pretty cool. And if you happen to be a programmer, you can even look at the code behind the site.
Check it out at: Text Twist Unscrambler

Imagine never having to remember your cell. Imagine always being in contact. Never having to charge or plug in. That’s what a new concept device promises.
The device is a cellphone that is surgically implanted under your skin. The phone is powered by the blood of the person who has it implanted. I personally think this is a pretty cool idea. Though several of my freinds think it is pretty creepy.

Found an incredible post on English Russia. There are a ton of pictures of an underground Russian submarine base. Check it out Russian Underground Submarine Base. Really amazing.

The face above comes from a flash animation that is strangely lifelike. Click on the link and wait for it to load. The eyes of the animation follow your mouse pointer. It take a minute to load, so be patient. It really is worth it.

According to Forbes, there are exactly 1062 people in the world who are Billionaires. That is they have a net worth of at least 1 Billion dollars. Of course with a rapid drop of the value of a dollar, that number may actually increase. LOL

What really makes this interesting is that Forbes has compiled a complete list of those people and also added links to short bios of each of them. There is a lot of good and very interesting information in that list.

Did you know that the second richest man in the world is actually from Mexico? Or that of the top five richest men in the world, two are from the US and two are from India? Or how about the age of the youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg. He’s only 23! The oldest Billionaire is 99. So there is quite a difference.

Check the whole list at Forbes: The World’s Billionaires

Oh, and if you are interested in inflation, check my post from last year on the inflation calculator.
