Online Tour of the Whitehouse

The Vermeil room is quite fetching. Also, check out that Green Room which, "Thomas Jefferson, the second occupant of the White House, used as a dining room with a 'canvas floor cloth, painted green,' foreshadowing the present color scheme."

Excitement lies behind every door.

Public Service Campaigning at its finest (not quite funniest). Check out the articles on Smoking and Self-Esteem!

"Tobacco damages your health. Effects of tobacco use can include tooth loss, chronic bronchitis, heart disease, strokes, premature aging symptoms like hair loss and wrinkles, dizziness, dehydration, and cancers of the lung, mouth, throat, bladder, pancreas, and kidney. The list of diseases caused by smoking has been expanded in addition to diseases previously known, as well as reproductive effects, infertility, and sudden infant death sydnrome."

"Having good self-esteem decreases your susceptibility to prolonged depression and other unpleasant emotions like guilt, anger, jealousy, or even mental disorders. " Hahah

Google Transit

Another one from Google. It gives you directions using public transportation rather than driving directions. Only Portland is available right now. As Katie Holmes would say, "It's kinda neat."

Google Base

Wow. I have a feeling this is going to be a pretty big deal, even if it doesn't make sense yet. Post just about anything into Google's massive array of servers and make it available for everyone. Hmmm...
