As the space is concern, I hate cars. But as for transport time any option is feasible, but I would still rather take my bike over the bus and car.

“ Attracting these consumers is itself a new challenge. Most of us will no longer tolerate interruptions, meaningless pitches, garish pop-ups, Las Vegas-style skyscraper ads or junk email. We are looking for real meaning, solid relevance, timeliness, and yes, transparency and truthfulness

Well said!
Paypal’s Future of Shopping video: more like the future of money.
Looks good, will be interesting to see how they make a service like this competitively priced/ cheap enough for every day use. Also I don’t think PayPal will grasp quite the monopoly the video makes out, more likely is that you’ll be able to do all those things with any bank, payment system etc. NFC ftw.
Google and Carnegie Mellon researchers team up on cloud-powered facial recognition that would enable you to take a photo of a complete stranger and track their real identity in mere minutes
Very interesting indeed.
“ For brands and businesses that have yet to see the true value of Twitter, expect to be impressed. Twitter just stepped up and demanded to be noticed. If you weren’t convinced of the physical traffic Twitter drives, you should definitely notice it now.
best video ever.
“Sleep is for people that are broke” That needs to be a tshirt! Some motivational words right here.
The UN’s first ever report on the state of childhood in the industrialized West made unpleasant reading for many of the world’s richest nations. But none found it quite so hard to swallow as the Brits, who, old jokes about English cooking aside, discovered that they were eating their own young.
According to the Unicef report, which measured 40 indicators of quality of life – including the strength of relationships with friends and family, educational achievements and personal aspirations, and exposure to drinking, drug taking and other risky behavior – British children have the most miserable upbringing in the developed world. American children come next, second from the bottom.
Makes for a very interesting read!

Hunters & Farmers. A blog post by Seth Godin.
You know when sometimes you read something and you get that knee jerk reaction that tells you that what your reading is spot on. This post for me is just that! It was written on 03/02/2010 which is when I first read it and Ive read it a few times since but it’s content is timeless and definitely worth your time.

Here’s half of seth’s Hunters and Farmers post:
Hunters and Farmers
10,000 years ago, civilization forked. Farming was invented and the way many people spent their time was changed forever.
Clearly, farming is a very different activity from hunting. Farmers spend time sweating the details, worrying about the weather, making smart choices about seeds and breeding and working hard to avoid a bad crop. Hunters, on the other hand, have long periods of distracted noticing interrupted by brief moments of frenzied panic.
It’s not crazy to imagine that some people are better at one activity than another. There might even be a gulf between people who are good at each of the two skills. Thom Hartmann has written extensively on this. He points out that medicating kids who might be better at hunting so that they can sit quietly in a school designed to teach farming doesn’t make a lot of sense.
A kid who has innate hunting skills is easily distracted, because noticing small movements in the brush is exactly what you’d need to do if you were hunting. Scan and scan and pounce. That same kid is able to drop everything and focus like a laser—for a while—if it’s urgent. The farming kid, on the other hand, is particularly good at tilling the fields of endless homework problems, each a bit like the other. Just don’t ask him to change gears instantly.
