Google Docs: I think this is the best...

Google Docs: I think this is the best option. Documents can
easily be shared and then published to either a URL or Blog when they are ready
for public viewing. A key feature for publishing to a URL is that there is an
option to automatically update. Also, since it is through Google it should be
less difficult to get an ID for everyone. The main problem is that since it is
not really a  



 



Zoho Project Manager: Zoho offers a great suite of on-line project
management and productivity software. But dealing with multiple log-ins for
both commission members and the public would be difficult.

I love that dirty water


A man driving his car in Cambridge, MA today drove his car into the Charles River after he sneezed and lost control of his car.

I think we've all been here, well at least at the sneezing while driving form of here, and recognize the true fear when it happens. I always think that its pure luck that nothing happens during a sneeze while driving. Think about it, you end up closing your eyes and your whole body jets forward. At least this poor guy has filled up the stats for us so that just by probability we're less likely for it to happen now. An article on Boston.com about this incident can be found here.

Really?

A recent New York Times article on the increase of kidney stones in children begins with the above picture.

The caption for the picture reads:"YOUNG VICTIM Tessa Cesario, 11, developed a kidney stone in February. She has since cut back on salt and is drinking more water." Funny...because the picture sure looks like the girl is downing some coca-cola, a drink high in sodium and a potential dehydrator due to caffeine. Where are the parents!?

President Bush, sub-prime mortgages, MLB umpires, and high energy costs are supposedly responsible for the spike in kidney stone incidents. Well, no, not really. But they're being blamed for everything else so truly what's another one on the list?

This might be a little too late for some of you.

Google this week introduced Mail Goggles, a new feature to GMAIL that can be set to present you with a series of math questions before you send a message during 10PM-4AM on the weekends. If you fail to solve the problems in a timely manner then the message will not be sent. This feature is for all you late night drinker and typers that might regret that message to your boss/ex/co-worker/current s.0./grandmother who you might be sending inappropriate drunken e-mails.

The 10AM -4PM time period is set by default. If you have some issues with alcohol or just simply send stupid message without thinking about the consequences first, you can alter the settings to present you with the problems 24/7.

I still don't know what to think about this bail out

Your room looks like a trash heap

A house in South Boston was condemned recently when local authorities got reports of high carbon monoxide levels.  I can't believe these pictures.  I'd like to see some reality show watching people live like this because I can't fathom how you get to this level.

My deodorant has neurotoxins and my body wash kills the environment!

At least the people at GoodGuide.com are telling me so. The new site, currently in beta form, compiles various bath and cleaning products and gives each a score based on the producing company's environmental impacts, the products potential health hazards, and its overall quality. It's a great concept and potentially very useful, but are you ready for what Good Guide has to tell you? Should I say good-bye to Old Spice Nightlife Anti-perspirint /deodorant and Dial for Men 3-D body wash? I think we all have a lot of thinking to do…
