Links from the Gregg zone!

Sunday, January 4 2009

1) Thought for a change on my green link this week, and since it is the beginning of a new year; I will concentrate most of my efforts on the future. In the interest of progress toward cleaning up the planet I think the most realistic approach is the X-Prize. The fastest way to get something done on our planet, at this time in history is with a super large carrot. The X-Prize offers that incentive, the link here is the best place I have found to keep up on what is going on with this venue, lots of links, and a nice news story crawler to keep on latest events. http://www.xprize.org/

2) Next up this is a place I found interesting to spend some time, even though I had no real reason to go there. It could be very useful at times for anyone. I am referring to the National Archives site. It is quite amazing just how much stuff is here. If you are in to doing any kind of research it can be a great place to start. You can look up everything from your genealogy, to the voting record of your favorite politician. http://www.archives.gov/

3) We are rapidly approaching a date that has fascinated me for quite a while, and I will be posting more links on this subject in the future, I am referring to 2012 of course. The Mayan calendar is the most popular subject related to the date, so I thought I would start here. This is a site with a video of a lecture about the Mayan calendar, and quite a bit more information than most. I found this same man doing a lecture a few years ago that I thought was better than this new one, but I could not find it Google has taken down the old one. Maybe at the way back site, I will have to try that one of these days. http://www.dreammanifesto.com/

4) This is one that was sent to me in an email from the show, I think it was Troll, but I am not sure if I am wrong I apologize. Any way it is a site of web cams from all around the world, I did not check to see if they had any of the airports in Alaska. Sorry that was aimed at Joe, I am sure I will cover it during the show. http://www.camcentral.com/

5) Now for a geek thing, this is an article that caught my eye. A new syndrome revolving around email, and sleeping, called zzzz-mail. Something that people like Joe who often sleeps in the chair in front of the computer might have to be careful of. http://www.telegraph.co.uk

We are now resellers for NOD32 Anti-Virus.
We from the OnComputers Radio show feel this is the best Anti-Virus program on the market at this time. It checks for Virus updates every hour if your online. If you are on a dial up or you don't leave your computer online all of the time as soon as you connect it checks for updates. Not like some other popular Anti-Virus programs that only look for updates once a week. It runs in the background and you will never know it's running. We are not trying to get rich, We are selling it to help support the OnComputers Radio show. To buy NOD32 Anti-Virus please go to http://AlaskaJoe.com/NOD32/
