Rain is not always a good thing

We had some rain last month that turned into feet of flowing flash floods. When all done and settled the lake levels rose above their crests, and shortly after receded. Except for Bull Shoals Lake.

Because it cannot let enough water out of it’s own dam, and water from the highly tourist trafficked Lake Taneycomo and Table Rock Lake, the Bull Shoals Lake gets the brunt of the water held. Here are some photos of the once spacious Shadow Rock Park.

Is a rematch possible?

Since the latest dive into a new industry (hospitality), it has brought me closer to the business owners in a small town, and the needs and restraints that are encountered each day in the small business community.

Using these insights and experiences I have decided to revisit the “salezaar” concept and expand it just a touch further- exciting to me, and beneficial to everyone!

The real beneficiaries are my family, who have been pestering me to build them each websites for their individual businesses.  Why build the same type of site six times, when I could build 1 site once?

Here’s a first round logo tease- enjoy!

Sixth Sense – Wearable World

Pranav Mistry of MIT discusses his new interface to literally transform the world into one giant mashup of information.  With component costs ranging in the few hundreds of dollars, this build will be the talk of the net (assuming his quick jab at releasing the software and designs opensource is true, which I believe it to be).

Enjoy the TED talk- this guy is the future!

Web & Tech Twitter-bot

Its been a while since I have been able to take time and search through posts from some of my favorite sites on the web, and since I enjoy a good article on the finer things online (and off), it was apparent- build a twitter bot.

Step 1 was to find the best feeds from those sites which I have had the pleasure of reading:

  • Mashable
  • Read Write Web
  • The Next Web
  • Tech Crunch
  • Engadget
  • Boing Boing

The final product is WWWNOOZ, the twitter bot that allows me to keep fewer programs running, and still be up to the minute with new articles.  Give it a follow, and send me new sites to add in- after all, this project is about being up to date in a wide range of topics… and I know there are more!

Knowledge Quest!
