18 May 07 Cooking Spot, thousands of free recipes

Almost time for lunch! Do you know what to cook today? If you are like me, having difficulties to change the home daily menu, the website we have just discovered may help us quite a lot! :).

I am talking about CookingSpot, a website where you will find thousands of free recipes for everyone in every single cooking style I could think of. 

The nice thing about it is that you can search easily the recipe you may like for today with just clicking a couple of links: feeling like some japanese sushi? just go to the Asian category, what about some hot and spicy food, head to Mexican cuisine…. I am pretty sure we can cook everyday something different without repiting a single recipe…. oh gosh, I am so hungry now!

 

14 May 07 Encyclopedia of Life

Imagine a wiki-style project where you could find absolutely all the living species in the planet with extense description, photos, videos, maps and location, etc. Well, this is what the new project EOL ( Encyclopedia of Life ) will try to do in the coming 10 years.

The idea has been launched by the Harvard University, the US Field Museum, the Marine Biological Laboratory, the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Smithsonian Institution and the Biodiversity Heritage Library, and will count with an assigned budget of aprox 100 million dolars over the next years. The plan is to catalog about 1.8 millions of known species on the Earth, although it has been said that what we know now is just a tiny portion ( around 10%) of the real number.

If you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to their newsletter in the website, and follow the evolution of this big and interesting initiative!

 

07 May 07 Medgle, search your symptoms

Thanks to What’s New we have found an interesting website for those of you who really hate going to the doctor just to discover you got a simple cold. I am not really in favour of this kind of self-medical advice, but ok, the site is at least original and it can be used together with your medical consultation should you wish to get more info about some symptoms you may have.

We talk about Medgle, a personalized medical search by doctors for everyone, where you can enter the symptoms you have, your age, gender, if you smoke, etc and push “search”. The system will then let you know how many possible illnesses you may have… as said, I don’t really recommend you do this and then go directly to the pharmacy….

 

23 Abr 07 Wiki Subtitles, everything in your language

Although seems to be for the moment basically available for Spanish and English speakers, this website will be pretty useful for those who want to improve their knowledge of one of the two languages watching the lastest TV shows and movies.

09 Abr 07 Brainstorm Lite, new brainstorming software

Brainstorm Lite is an application that comes as a part of ConceptDraw Lab project. If you are used to have brainstorming sessions as part of your daily business tasks, this new software may change the way you brainstorm with tools - Brainstorm Lite is a very restrictive brainstorming application that forces users to follow some core brainstorming rules thus achieving better results from the session spending less time.

It works by tracking brainstorming time and prohibiting the user from entering new ideas after the time is up. This is used to inspire creativity because everyone knows how much time is left to generate new ideas and that there remains no extra time. The tool prevents also deleting or even editing any ideas while session is ongoing. This allows even the random ideas pass to analysis stage at which they often appear to be the best. Once the session is finished, the application transforms into simple text editor, meant for spellchecking or simple editing.

Another useful tool to make companies develop ideas, which at the end, can result in new or improved products and services.

23 Mar 07 Official: “The Secret” Science of Getting Rich

If any of you remember the movie “The secret”, then you will be happy that we have found the opportunity via Sponsored Reviews to comment on something related even better.

A seminar and a how-to program to implement all the “secrets” that were shown on the movie. For those who did not see it, I strongly recommend it. It was, or it is :-), all about realising about the power of ones-thoughts to attract and create your own surrounding reality, everything explained from the point of view of the quantum physics.

I was very surprised and interested when I saw it and now I am glad to see this seminar implemented. This new initiative has been called the Secret Science of Getting Rich, , catchy, isn’t it? :). The idea behind is to apply the methods and techniques explained in the movie to attract wealth and richness to you, in a step-by-step program prepared by the authors of “The Secret” and with the participation of some of the teachers ( most of them well known personalities in their professional field) that appeared in the movie : Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for The Soul), Bob Proctor (creme-de-la-cream success coach) and Michael Beckwith (popular spiritual leader) among others.

The official website of the program has plenty of info about it. You will be explained techniques about manifesting things in your life, a concept that it you never heard of it it is right now the perfect time for learning it. You can subscribe online and try for free 7 free lessons,  also become part of their affiliates program, so you get the opportunity to get some extra cash while developing your abilities. Take a look at it and let us know how successful you become!
