Using labels as effective Blog to-do list 2008-05-03 23:08:29 If you are savvy on gmail and would like to track your blogging ideas in a to-do list in gmail or even mark some of your mails so that you remember that you are going to blog on it, there is a easy way to do this. I personally use Gmail labels to track all my future posts and blogging ideas so that I dont loose them. Gmail's labels are even better than folders as you can "put" any message in any number of folders. An email for a blog can belong to the "most urgent" messages as well as to a particular project at work, for example. It can carry the "blog follow-up" and "family blog" labels at the same time, and you will find it under both labels. Here is a quick guide on using labels effective

Inside Antilla - World’s First $2 Billion House 2008-05-03 22:47:11 The Ambani home, called Antilla, now available on Google Earth is being valued at $2 Billion and when completed, the residence will reach 550 feet into the sky and offer 400,000 square feet of living space. Normally that is the equivalent of a 60 storeyed tower, but in this case each floor is more than twice the height of a normal floor, with the result that the building will only have 27 floors when completed. Given the prevailing state of skyscrapers in Mumbai, this building will be more than twice as tall as the earlier tallest buiilding. The view from the top will be breathtaking, no doubt. Ambani's net worth was at $43 billion in March 2008.Kind of makes Bill Gates’ $125 million home look like some sort of slum. Some other absurd facts about Antilla.1. 3 helipads on top.

tried to narrow the gap against Apple with the release of new technology that enables Zune
users to share more of their music libraries with friends. The latest update to the Zune software that synchronizes the player with a person's music library on the PC and Microsoft's online store reflects how Microsoft is hoping to grab market share from the Apple iPod by encouraging Zune users to build online social networks. Microsoft last November launched a music community Web site called Zune Social, where users could browse each other's playlists and share opinions on songs and bands.

Why 23-cent pizza and not FREE pizza Thursday (May 8) in the Northeast Ohio area? 2008-05-05 23:04:11 Papa John's Pizza has issued an apology to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cavalier LeBron James for making T-shirts with LeBron's number and the word "crybaby" under it, T-shirts that appeared at Friday's playoff game with the Washington Wizards in Washington. "They were being stupid," Dan Schuler said. "That shirt was an insult to all of Cleveland." Papa John's is offering 23-cent pizza Thursday
(May 8), the day the Cavaliers play the Boston Celtics in Boston, to fans who may have had a "bad taste" left in their mouths after the T-shirt incident. Why 23-cent pizza and not FREE ? Because Lebron James is "The Number 23".As part of the apology to Cavs fans, Papa John's corporate public relations Director Tish Muldoon said Monday that all 44 Papa John's shops in the NortheastOhio

18.4¢ Gas Tax Holiday Scam 2008-05-09 21:34:52 Dear Senator Clinton and Senator McCain,Please stop insulting the intelligence of the American people with pointless gas tax scams.Soaring gas prices are not something we can solve with a cheap gimmick. Gas prices are high because people around the world are using lots of gas including rising demand in developing nations like China and India. Prices are high because oil is a limited resource and production is limited, because of speculation on Wall Street, and instability in the Middle East. Gimmicks won't change any of that.Eliminating the federal gas tax all summer would only save American consumers about 30 dollars, send more money overseas, reduce our ability to invest in infrastructure, and encourage even more driving and pollution contributing to global climate change.
