Google hasn’t tipped from a business point of view — yet, but they just tipped from a “I love Google” perspective in the mind of its users. I think so, anyways. What do you think?

One of our cohorts here is a big fan of Red Bull drinks. So much so that a 30 pack isn’t an odd purchase for him. Who is this person? It’s Todd of course. Todd even has a monument to the Red Bull on his desk (he calls it his emergency reserves).

In the spirit of simple is better I present my version of four things as one thing. I got tagged by Beth Dean.

• One Job I’ve Had in My Life — I actually exported electronic components to England once.
• One movie I can watch over and over — This would most likely be The Return of The King
• One place I have lived — St. Louis
• One TV show I love to watch — Without a doubt it would be 24
• One place I have been on vacation — Norway
• One website I visit daily — Drudge Report
• One of my favourite foods — Pad Thai
• One place I would rather be right now — Skiing
• One blogger I am tagging — Andrew Smith

So I was having coffee with a friend and we were talking about polyphasic sleep. I’ve decided that if I didn’t want to have a real life I’d give it a try.

So my question: What was your longest day and how long (approximately) were you awake? Tell your war story!

Tauck has a cool site. Nice use of photography.

I have a $15 gift card for iTunes and can’t decide what to buy. Help me out.

I am not sure why but this jelly fish photo is very cool.

CommunicationNation on how to draw a stick figure.

Milk meets coffee (6 high speed photos) of milk splashing into coffee. Via shades*of*grey.

Next time you demo a product use Guy’s techniques and you’ll be a winner.

Neat way to turn a bottle into a monopod. (Via SvN) When would you use this? Is this a stupid idea? I would use this if I was hiking and I had a bottle of water and I wanted to take a picture of myself. Then you can just make your own for $3.

I want to get a tilt shift lens and take pictures of cities like this!

A funny Calvin and Hobbes.

Now here’s a fast, but small, Hard Drive.

If you were going to order an $1,800.00 espresso machine as cool the La Spaziale S1 would you order a red one or a black one?

What do you think about the surge of products with trendy colors? I wouldn’t describe this surge as recent. For years companies have been producing brightly colored products, however you can’t help but notice it. Do you go for it or do you buy the standard black? Me? I’d get a red La Spaziale S1. By the way, from what I hear this is one awesome machine! I don’t have one but I spoke with a coffee roaster here in Arizona who uses it and he raved about it. It’s receiving very good ratings up at Coffee Geek.
