Top Nine Tech Things You Should Have Tried in 2009 (but still can in 2010).

The end of the year is a great time to start throwing around lists of stuff.  As I started reflecting on 2009, I thought about all the technology that I used and how I wish others had know about it as well!  So here it is – the nine things I wish you had tried in 2009!  (Not in any order) Full Disclosure:  I was not paid to write these nice things and it is solely my own opinion.  If you have one, leave a comment below.

Google Street View Runs Into a Deer – All Captured on the Web!

Sometimes, even trying to do the right thing with technology can go terribly wrong.  The picture is from the vehicle being used for Google Street View and shows a baby deer getting hit in real time.  I know this sounds bad at the moment, but the deer did get back up and walk away from the accident.  So watch out when you are out driving and taking pictures for Google.  You never know what will happen next!
