The questions are pretty biased towards a more liberal point of view, but it is still an interesting exercise.
Political Compass
A very cool idea, with a great user interface. Much easier to user for those ‘creative’ types. You can also click on any of the words, and follow them down for synonyms and antonyms.
Gizmodo put it so well, I am just going to leave it to them:
“As the next in Near Near Future’s ‘Strangely Familiar’ series of gadgets, this Quattro prototype alarm is a solid translucent block that has no visible buttons or markings. As the Quattro is rotated, its function changes—on the side it’s a radio, tilted up it’s an alarm, and horizontally it’s a clock, each indicated by a contextual change in the display on the front. It gets better: the Quattro recognizes when you get close and lights up touch-sensitive buttons. Then it gets even betterer: a wirelessly connected teddy bear triggers the alarm’s snooze function when you give it a hug. I want this future very badly.”
You just have to see it for your self. Check out the sponsored links
Google Search: dead
Update:
I thought this was clearer that it is. The sponsored Google ads are ‘intelligent’ ads. Which means that they in some way relate to the search string that you have entered. Now go back and look again at the sponsored ads…see anything there that should not relate to the word dead?
Fellow blogspotter, with a fun idea…mail a 4×6″ postcard in with your secret (or someone else’s) and it will be posted for all.
This is a cool little Firefox extention. It allows you highlight all occurrences of a word or phrase on a page. Try it out…

A very interesting concept. People were stopped on the street, and asked what they were thinking at that exact moment. Their photo was taken, and the thought recorded. It is a cool snapshot of human reality

I don’t know if they are the first, but hopefully they won’t be the last. Speakeasy, a DSL ISP, is now bundling Firefox with their service.
