giant steps are what you take...

1969 was a big year.

Led Zep 1 came out, Neil and the gang did their thing on the moon, John and Yoko got to hang out in bed, Easy Rider came out at the movies, The Brady Bunch started and ....blimey what a year it was!

How do I remember all of this?

NY Times have developed a rather impressive interactive timeline for 1969 with video and images to bring the year back to life.

A pictures worth how many words?

I discovered an interesting application that uses a Google images search create a montage. For those Facebook addicts it is like the friends grid view.
I had a bit of play with it using some search terms with some interesting results. Here is an example of the "Telstra" search.



They only downside to it is that you can only work with the images that Google gives you.
Here is the link - it is free to use.
It could be usefully for presentations or in brainstorming as a technique.
