If you’re ever looking to optimize your page load times check out Google Page Speed. According to Google’s blog they’ve been using this for a while now and just recently decided to release it to the public.

Smaller web sites probably don’t have to worry as much about page load speed, especially low traffic sites. But if you’re running a high traffic site, page speed is extremely important. Sure you might only have 40kB on a page but if you get over a 1000 people a day that quickly becomes 40mB. You’d be hard pressed to find pages that are only 40kB these days anyways.

With that said, install the add on and have fun optimizing your web pages!

Check out the latest invention from Google, http://www.google.com/squared/. You can receive some pretty cool combinations from using this service. I’m not sure how to best describe it’s practical usage.

I typed in parrot fish and google got back to me with some pretty interesting results. First of all I never even knew there is an actual parrot fish, second I like how the third result is ethics, as if to say if you could genetically create a parrot fish, should you?

Have fun playing around with it. This could’ve been a useful tool in college.

I just discovered this lately and I’m not sure how long it’s been around but it’s a great way to kill a couple of minutes of your day. It’s called Google Image Labeler. It’s a great way to pick your brain and it also can pass the time smoothly. At face value it’s just a simple game that Google has provided for people, but really Google is improving their image search engine through your free information input. I have to say google is pretty ingenious at garnering free information from the masses.

Google keeps track of all your points for you and even has a daily score tracker and all time highest contributor score in case you care to know.
