Technically a Parent: Sneak-A-Peek at your unborn child

http://technicallyaparent.blogspot.com/2009/03/sneak-peek-at-your-unborn-child.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Sneak-A-Peek at your unborn child. Every day my husband and I talk about what our child could potentially look like. Sometimes it starts because we see a child on the street that looks like one of us, or sometimes we pick a quality of the other that we hope our child gets - I hope ours gets my husbands eyes and legs! Now, parents can get a sneak peek at what their child might look like. Aha! The pregnancy search engine, just launched "Sneak-a-Peek". New York, NY.

catching dandelions: virgle - the open source planet

http://catchingdandelions.blogspot.com/2009/04/virgle-open-source-planet.html

Friday, April 24, 2009. Virgle - the open source planet. Have you noticed all the talk about space on the web lately? First there was the story of NASA's space station treadmill named after Stephen Colbert. Then news that Milky Way could taste of raspberries. And then Wired's showcase of these stunning space photos. Taken from the Hubble in early celebration of the telescope's 20th anniversary. And I finally found one. It's called Virgle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Panic and the flu. Moot is tim...

catching dandelions: moot is time inc's top dandelion

http://catchingdandelions.blogspot.com/2009/04/moot-is-time-incs-top-dandelion.html

Thursday, April 23, 2009. Moot is time inc's top dandelion. Seems like the infamous 4chan gang is at it again. Time Inc. just caught a fun little dandelion called "moot" brought to them courtesy of 4chan. The uber-passionate followers of hacker's holyland have just hijacked Time's annual online poll. Of the top 100 most influential people in government, science, technology and the arts and flooded it with fake votes for "moot" (real name Christopher Poole), the 21 year old founder of 4chan. How about let...

catching dandelions: madonna's fantasy paparazzi

http://catchingdandelions.blogspot.com/2009/04/madonnas-fantasy-paparazzi.html

Sunday, April 19, 2009. I don't normally read celebrity news, unless it's about Madonna. I can't help it because she's just fabulous. So, of course I was totally disturbed to hear that she fell off a horse. This morning while riding in Southampton because of some nasty paparazzi. According to Madonna, the paparazzi jumped out of the bushes and totally freaked the horse out resulting in Madonna falling and suffering some minor scrapes and burns. I thought she was a lot more fabulous than that. For Faceboo...

catching dandelions: mercky waters

http://catchingdandelions.blogspot.com/2009/05/mercky-waters.html

Sunday, May 3, 2009. Publishing companies are struggling these days so it's no surprise to see the once super thick line between content and marketing getting a whole lot thinner. We've seen this phenomenon happening for some time in the mainstream press and the trades, but now it's hit the academic journals. And academics are pissed. Merck cooked up a phony, but very real looking, peer reviewed journal. With lots of glowing reviews and favorable data about Merck products. It's called the. There will pro...
