Google Personalized Homepage

Yes, another post about how great Google is, but I’ll keep it short.

I’ve always had Google as my homepage and several months ago I started customizing my personalized homepage with a few available Google gadgets. Last week Google introduced the feature of multiple tabs to their personalized homepage. Now to be perfectly honest, my Yahoo has had this feature for years so Google is actually behind the times on this one. But the great new feature Google included was the ability to add content from any RSS or Atom feed to my pages. Now I’ve set up a second tab and put all the blogs and newsfeeds I like to check on one page. So whether it’s a friend's personal blog, the official Google Blog, or breaking news from WSOC-TV (obligatory company plug), I can now see when any of them have a new post all at a single glance.

P.S. If you want to add my blog’s feed to your personalized Google homepage, the feed url is http://www.mikesussman.com/blog/atom.xml.

Imagine if the fictionally warped world of M.C. Escher was taken off the flat easel that makes his illusions possible, and thrust into the real 3D world? Now throw in some busy city sidewalks and a bucket of street chalk and you’ve got the work of a European artist named Julian Beever. Beever creates chalk drawings on flat city sidewalks that amazingly appear three-dimensional when viewed from just the right angle. From any other angle the drawings look totally distorted. Above you see an amazing illusion of Beever acting as if he’s ready to dive into the drawing, which is really a totally flat section of sidewalk! On the right is another of his drawings where he is being rescued by Batman and Robin from a subterranean Gotham City. Below are two links with photos to many more of Beever’s 3D illusions. Enjoy
