View Article  Mind/Brain/Consciousness Stuff
Came across a new site today - Quantum BioCommunication - The Consciousness Revolution in Science.

Lots of great articles here, that basically accept things like intuition as a given, and then draw out the possible body-mind correlations. 

Some of the other sites pointed to here, that address these type of issues.-

Centerpoint - sound technology for altered states.
Transparent Corporation   Transparent is the premier developer of brain stimulation and training products geared towards solving human problems and increasing human potential.

The issue of course, is - what's real and what's B.S.?

I remember back to when I was a teenager, and I made a habit of going to New Age Expos. 

I always thought they were rather wacky, but I enjoyed them.  I remember people walking around with little wire pyramids on their heads, to "align their energy".   I thought the people were crazy, but hey, it was fun!






View Article  Using Sitemeter for tracking visitors
For those who have a site, and aren't using it, I wanted to make sure to recommend the Site Meter, Counter and Statistics Tracker, for tracking how much traffic you are getting on your site.

First, it is free. 
Second, it is unobtrusive on your site. 
Third, it is one of the most used tracking systems, and it is what is used by the largest sites - such as DailyKos, Gizmodo, etc.

Take a look at the above links, you also get hourly, daily, weekly, and yearly views. Very nice.

I currently have three systems that I see views on, that I check weekly.  One is what is built-in to blogware, the blog provider I use. The second is Blogpatrol , which is down every other week, and when you use it, always pops up an advertising window - and then Sitemeter.

Sitemeter has been the most transparent, fastest, and most consistent, by a long shot. 

Sitemeter is also very good at discounting the traffic from spammers, and only getting "live bodies" - which is one of the issues with blogware. (According to blogware, this site gets an amazing amount of traffic - but it includes various spamblogs, without breaking them out.)

It's possible that sitemeter doesn't contain traffic from RSS feeds - which blogware claims it does - but again, without a breakout of "real" feeds from spam feeds, it's hard to say.

At any rate, for those who are interested in such things - definitely add Sitemeter as your counter!
View Article  Google Mail (gmail) and Google Talk integration
I've been noticing the integration on gmail, of both Gtalk's chat, with the search and archiving abilities of google.

It's actually a pretty cool setup.  But the best review of the new integration, and suggestions of how best to use it, is at the Unofficial Google Weblog.

The three main ways of communicating with someone - email, Instant Message, and Talking - are now provided through the same interface.  That's pretty cool!

NOTE:  This is probably going to be a tech enthusiast day, for posting...
