I sure hope Johnnie doesn't read my blogs

First I just want to apologize for not blogging the last 2 weeks. I just got back from an incredible family vacation cruise on the Carnival Dream. The weather was perfect and the ship was amazing. One big change was the amount of computers they had on board for use. They were everywhere. You could literally hop on and check your facebook and email anytime you wanted. They named them "fun hubs."

Now on to the blog.... I just read that Nintendo has released plans for their newest gaming device, The Nintendo 3DS, on which games with three-dimensional capability can be played without the need for any special glasses. The company said that the new 3DS could possibly be out before Christmas which would mean my 13 year old son won't have to think about what to put on his list. I also read that the existing DS games will be compatible with the device, nice!

Google Launches Chile Earthquake Person Finder

With the recent earthquake in Chile communications are strained due to damage caused and people around the world trying to contact family who were there. The most reliable form of communication to and from Chile right now seems to be e-mail and the Internet.

Google has picked up on that fact and decided to help the information flow by launching People Finder. Taking the form of a very simple website, People Finder consists of two links:

•I’m looking for someone
•I have information about someone

If you are in Chile and have information about individuals there then you can get that information up on the web for friends and family to find. Alternatively, if you haven’t heard from someone in Chile you can post their details in the hope someone knows something about them.

People Finder already has over 35,400 records being tracked, meaning it is already proving useful and Google should be commended for stepping up so quickly to help. http://chilepersonfinder.appspot.com/
