How to see everything you’ve ever Googled (if you’re so brave) (Reuters/Dado Ruvic) You probably don’t remember what you Googled 10 minutes ago, let alone the myriad inane and fleeting things you’ve searched since the engine’s beginnings. But unless you’re browsing in incognito mode or have tweaked your account settings, Google remembers those things. Not only that: Google logs all of your searches, analyzes them, and uses them to individually personalize the search results you see — which has pretty profound implications for both literacy and privacy. [Everything Google knows about you — and how it knows it] Now, the search giant has created a way for users to better understand that process. In a feature quietly rolled out last January, and surfaced by a Google blog over the weekend, users can download their search histories from Google, including things they’ve searched across computers and phones.
These histories aren’t 100-percent comprehensive: They only include searches you’ve made while signed in on your Google account. Liked that? Zombie Attacks, Fairy Queens, and Why Your Brain Craves Surprises: An Interview with Tania Luna | Suvudu. How do you feel about surprises? Do you like unpredictably, or do you prefer the comfort of routine? While most people prefer the predictable, the latest in scientific research has revealed that surprise is a vital element for growth and creativity. Tania Luna is one of the founders of Surprise Industries—a company that specializes in pleasant surprises—the co-author (along with Dr. LeeAnn Renninger) of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. Luna and I recently spoke about how surprise makes our favorite games so much fun, why we can’t stop reading science fiction and fantasy, and what it’s like when your job description includes surprising zombie fans and fairy-loving businessmen.
How did you get interested in surprises? My sister Cat and I started a company called Surprise Industries. My background is in psychology so I became really interested in what was going on inside these people’s brains as they’re going through these experiences. Why do we crave surprise? A 'fancy' serial number can make a $1 bill worth thousands. If you’ve ever read the eight-digit serial number on a dollar bill, it was probably to play liar’s poker—or out of sheer boredom. But those digits are more than a passing diversion to a thriving online community, for whom they can take on a near-mystical significance. At CoolSerialNumbers.com, Nashville musician and currency collector Dave Undis brings together like-minded digit-heads who have little interest in the history of money or even the denomination of a given note.
Instead they are after certain patterns and series that fall under the flexible heading of “fancy” serial numbers. Low serial numbers, from 00000001 to 00000100, are sought after, as well as palindromes (23599532), solids (with a digit that repeats eight times), seven-of-a-kinds (66666665), ladders (45678901) and important dates (12071941). The criteria get even more obscure from there: Undis is seeking a pi note, with the number 31415927.

Let me tell you something you already know: Your housekeeper spies on you. We work alone. We get bored. What do you expect? I worked for a company cleaning houses for two years. It was flexible. It paid well enough. I didn't think of it as a career, or identify with it; it was just what I did to get myself through college as a single mom. At first I didn't snoop. I checked how many pills they'd taken and learned which prescriptions had turned into recreations I found the houses on little winding roads, the hidden keys tucked under gnomes or rugs. But after a few months, my boss told me to clean slower.
So I started looking through the piles of papers instead of straightening them. (I had to look that one up. I named my houses. One was the Porn House, for all the issues of Hustler in the nightstand and for the bottle of lube that sometimes sat in front of the alarm clock, illuminated by the red numbers. Next to the Porn House was the Sad House. "Get new hose. " "Fix crack in sidewalk. " The Federal Government Will Put You Up In This Haunted Ghost Town, If You Dare. The federal government wants to give you free food, free housing and a job. No, it's not a scary story that libertarians tell each other around the campfire. But there is a spooky catch to the arrangement. Garnet, Montana, is the state's most intact ghost town, and some people maintain that it's actually haunted.
The remote mountain town grew rapidly in the late 19th century following the discovery of gold and silver in the area. But by the 1940s, the mines had run out and the boom went bust. Garnet emptied out, and now the only people who spend any time there are tourists and volunteers selected by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. "It’s primitive, to say the least,” ranger Nacoma Gainan told The Montana Standard this week in an article about Garnet's volunteering opportunities. But at least one state historian claims that once the sun sets in Garnet, the spirits of the town's historic residents come alive. According to a 2010 article about Garnet in the Helena Independent Record: Freaky Game Transforms Your House Into a Horror Movie When You Walk Around at Night With a Smartphone. Just walking around your home at night can be scary enough, but a gaming company is developing an augmented reality game that can turn it into a movie-like house of horrors in which you are the star.
“Night Terrors” by Novum Analytics is game that you play at night with your smartphone and its LED light. “Where are those games that are so believable and so immersive that you’re afraid to play them?” Brian Mitchell, the developer, asked. Night Terror uses algorithms that play upon various features of your phone to map your environment and allow you to see your home through the lens of a horror game.
The objective of the game is to save an 8-year-old girl who is trapped in another world. There are certain rules that help you reach your objective. Instead of creating the scary elements of the game using computer graphics, Night Terror uses images that were filmed of actors in costume.

How to Create Your Own Podcast - A Step-by-Step Tutorial - Make Your Own Talk Show, Music Program or Audio Stream. I'm often asked by visitors to this site how to start an Internet radio station. But, often they are over-thinking it. Offering audio on the Internet can be done in many ways and it just keeps getting easier. Podcasts Come in Various Flavors Podcasts are easy to do whether you DIY with an audio editor and your own website or use a third-party to create it and host it. A Podcast allows you to create audio which can be accessed on-demand. But, now, just placing an audio file online at your website and informing users to "click to listen" to your "Podcast on-demand" is sufficient in many cases, especially if you know ahead of time that you are doing a limited amount of podcasts.
Thanks to broadband, the moment your audio file begins playing uninterrupted through the end-users player, you have achieved the same effect as Internet Radio.

How to Plan Your Biography. 0 Flares Twitter 0 Facebook 0 0 Flares × Warning: This is long – 4 times as long as most of my articles – but it’s one of the most important pieces I’ve written yet. If you don’t have time to read the whole thing right now, bookmark it and come back when you do. If you want to understand my strategy for getting the very most out of my life, it’s worth the read. Here’s an idea: rather than waiting the rest of your life to write your biography, why not start now? Sounds odd, right? I’m fine with that. Odd is what I’m all about. Truth is, if you don’t start pre-writing your biography right now, you probably won’t have much to actually write when it comes time to.

One of the most common requests I get from readers is for detailed information on how to start a side business of some kind, especially how to start a blog. With minimal equipment and ample time, how can a person construct a side business in order to earn a little extra money?
This is the first in a series of articles describing exactly how to do this. In each article, I’m going to discuss exactly how to build an income stream on the side, what effort goes into it, and (approximately) what kind of income you can expect from it. These articles will naturally be spaced out so that I have time to actually construct each side business and keep it going until it earns a respectable income.
However, with blogging, I’ve already done this and due to a lot of luck and hard work, it became successful beyond my wildest dreams. So, I’ll start with blogging.
