Zotero: Cite without type

Where were you when I was struggling with lots of pages of references in Word, typing all of them accordingly and losing them when I work in different PCs? But I m glad finally I met you Zotero!

Considering the dramatic entrance, you most probably understand that this tool is a life saver for who deals with academic writings like papers, articles, thesis etc. It simply retrieves the references online and embed it on your study. It also stores these reference logs in your account, so you cannot lose unless intentionally delete them. You can choose the style of referencing such as IEEE, APA, Oxford and many other styles.
When you searched a paper on google or in a journal, an icon next to your address bar appears indicating that you can retrieve that paper's referencing infotmation. Then, in MS Word, you can select retrieved reference and add whereever you need. It also have ability for auto-organizing the numbering of reference list. It helps you to get rid of a great burden of typing, editing and organizing the references, and enables mobility of your reference lists. That s a huge relief. I strongly recommend this tool or substitutes that are as practical as this is.

We are all criminals, sort of...

Not every crime is defined in the laws. After all, our conscience and moral values are the source for its definition at the first place. Thus, my conscience let me feel like a criminal after I watched this video. Dont you?
Please watch other storyofstuff.org videos just to feel more guilty, or in other words, to see behind the walls.

This page intentionally left blank !

The blank pages.They are the pages in books, exam papers and every documents that surprise us with the follow-up feelings of fear, anger, anxiety or happiness. That varies with the expectation of-course but very rare people know, or think they know, what the purpose is for existance of these pages. Wiki tells that "Such pages may serve purposes ranging from place-holding to space-filling and content separation". There are also rumors that this page were filled by invisible alien language that informs over-universe planets:) That is an another topic of discussion. But If you look at your life, dont you also see these blank pages? So, what is/ was the purpose?

For instance, when I look at my life, I see lots of intentionally left blank pages that were supposed to be filled, but now, not only empty and dusted but also their purposes were even forgotten. As far as I remember, they were mostly about being happy. Just happiness which is extracted from my ordinary life. I still have these pages which were reserved to enjoy my life and to fade away from my troubles. But they are still staying behind and I m still waltzing with boredom. Maybe just a sketch or a note will add meanings and sweet memories on these pages. All I need is to ask myself "what is the purpose?" and act immediately.

After all, we all have our bestseller books named as "the inner-war" which have intentionally left blank pages in each chapters. Hence, We should solve this problem before this book is unavailable in the market.

Another lab class was opened by Google: Architecture101

After the anatomy class by Google, there is a new tool on the web for amateur and pro designers. Google sketchup presents a design tool with a simple interface and fancy functions which is an inspirational application that motivates you to sketch something you imagined right away! I had tried it in autoCAD once upon a time, but it was not as easy and enjoyable as in this tool. you might design a building, car, mailbox or a tree. My first product was a skyscraper as shown on the images. The toolbar allows you to calculate the details, expand/shrink/paint your sketch and determine the location and built it. It is entegrated tool with other google products which helps to import different functions. For instance, you can get locations from google map if you plan to design your home at the exact place. Difference from most of other google products, this tool runs on PC. That is sad but I believe it will be a web based tool soon. Enjoy it!
