50 ways

Those simple 50 ways can make our Planet cleaner … or at least reduce emission. Additionally, it’d be nice to use dimmers. They make cozy environment and save energy. Another good idea is to put movement detector together with lamp in for closets, laundry rooms, storage space etc. If you have a sprinkler system, connect it with weather station to take into account current temperature and humidify level. The same can be applied to the climate control system. Be smart, use smart devices and systems and save our Planet!

Nice view by the way. But the chars don’t look so comfortable for me.

scribe
Scribd, a site for sharing documents, is coming out of private beta this week:

Scribd is most easily described as a text version of YouTube. It is a social network that lets you tag, share, and comment on uploaded documents (.doc, .pdf, .txt, .ppt, .xls, .ps, .lit).

Documents can be displayed and embedded as HTML or the under-utilized, and faster-than-a-PDF, Flash paper format. They can be downloaded as .pdf’s, .docs, .txt, and even .mp3 files. The MP3 version is created by Scribd’s text-to-speech package (powered by Nuance) that lets you listen to the text of your document in a quivering British accent

Mobilicio.us

Mobile phones are crowing very fast. Now most of them allow to browse Internet comfortably. So, mobile Internet users need to have a place to store their bookmarks online. The same manner as del.icio.us, for example. New online service Mobilicio.us offers such possibility. Have a look the project page and create account if you need it :)
