Khan get enough of Wikipedia? Now there's Khan Academy.

The Khan Academy.org  is a not-for-profit educational organization created and sustained by Salman Khan. With the stated mission "of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the Academy supplies a free online collection of more than 2,000 videos on mathematics, science, history, and economics.


As of September 2010, Google announced they would be providing the Khan Academy with $2 million to support the creation of more courses and to enable the Khan Academy to translate their core library into the world’s most widely spoken languages, as part of their Project 10^100.

Fancy a bedroom in a box?

(Pics from I New Idea)

Imagine having this at home, I bet you will have your bedroom, living room, kitchen and may be a bowling alley all in one room. Haha. Good idea actually, since you can save so much space. But, come to think of it, I don't think I will buy this unless this thing unfolds and returns to its box shape automatically. I can't imagine dismantling this thing before I sleep everyday. However, this is just a model, not the real thing yet (if you look carefully, it looks like it is made from the materials of the cardboard file holders).

Google Doodle

The first Google Doodle was for the Burning Man Festival of 1998. The doodle was designed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to notify users of their absence in case the servers crashed. Subsequent Google Doodles were designed by Dennis Hwang (the guy in the video below). You will sometimes see them when you log on the Google's homepage especially during festivals and holidays. Doodle 4 Google is an annual competition for school students to submit their doodles and the winner will get to have their doodle posted on Google's homepage for a day. As Google is protective of their logos, I cannot show it to you here. Haha. But you can always look through them at this site - Google Doodles. You can also vote for the doodles to be featured now at Doodle 4 Google. I have already cast my vote and now it's your turn to do so! ;-)
