 WL: Voodoo, Checkmate, Lizardman and Cats

WL: Voodoo, Checkmate, Lizardman and Cats

Oh, yesterday was fun! Went to Berkeley to visit some friends and ended up in going to Persian center with Nora, Nojan and Ava and saw Terence Ward who I saw his show on C-Span a few weeks ago. He talked about his book "Searching for Hassan" and showed a few slides of his journey to Iran. Saw Sia and Felicity there and went to Pakistani restaurant on University and went played pool, called Tekno to join and sure enough, saw Dave Blackstone (who of course kicked our asses in Pool) there with his regular Guinness! What a day!

Here are the links, enjoy!

Hehe, this one is hilarious! CNN: Irish pub kickstarts Kabul nightlife!! Another story about fast food coming to Iraq!

300 reasons why I have seen almost all the episodes of "The Simpsons" but my cell phone beeps 5 minutes before it starts every night. :-) #7 has always been my favorite!

 New Yahoo! Search

New Yahoo! Search

New look and feel for Yahoo! Search is here! The new Yahoo! Search enables you to find exactly what you're looking for, faster and easier than ever.

They have also added Image Search provided by Good old Google! The interface is pretty clean, fast and easy to use.

They have added some "smart" features to their search page. For example, typing "Weather San Francisco" brings up SF weather from their own weather database or using maps is now very easy, just type "map 1330 sunset blvd los angeles" and it intelligently pulls up the map for you!

Another example of the "smart" features is typing "zipcode pizza" to get local listings from the yellow pages. For example typing "94089 pizza" brings up all the pizza restaurants in Sunnyvale, CA where Yahoo! actually is based in. "define egregious" on the other hand, looks up the word "egregious" in the dictionary!

I love the idea of [what I call] "single click", since Yahoo! had it all in house. So, print out the shortcuts and I'm sure you'll use it a lot! (Especially if you have their little Yahoo! toolbar installed...)
