Now that I am on the topic of search engines, I'd like to mention a new generation of search engines which are more sophisticate than a tool finder. They are called computational knowledge engine or as I would like to call them, they are search engines which are using semantic web algorithm to locate information. WolframAlpha is one of them and I believe it will have a lot to offer. One important aspect of these search engines are their capabilty to undrestant natural language. For example, go to WolframAlpha and type this question - Where am I.

Google has been the most brilliant multi-faceted tool of our century. It acts as a powerful search engine to locate webpages, it has useful special features , collaboration tools , Google Books, and many more added value features. Now, one of the latest impressive tools added to this collection are transliteration labs. Today, I learned about Google Persian Transliteration lab. Although I was happy with Behnevis.com , it is good to see Google also got involved with Persian language.

I should think of myself as a work-in-progress. I'm learning new things everyday and still a long way to go to get to the place I wish to be. There are many advices that have been carved in my brain by those who I can truly call my mentors. And then, there are other stuff... It is scary when I see poor social behaviour in others and realize that I did that one time! There are those things that no one would ever point them out to you but you have to figure them out by yourself. I regret doing those (unconsciously) and I hope I don't repeat them ever again.

Here is an idea for those fantastic storytellers out there; there is a Postcard Story Contest announcement by GEIST Magazine. I am thinking of entering the contest too. I don’t have any story or a postcard in mind yet but I think it would be fun thing to do.

Dear S, Today, I found the sweetest surprise in my mail box. As I was reading your gold/green handmade card, I was overwhelmed with joy. Yes, you got the colour right and may I ask how you do remember these things? Thank you so much for the CDs. I loved the pictures. It reminded me of all those good memories. … And I’m going to listen to all the music you sent me and I am sure I will love them all because they are you favourites. … I know that I am very fortunate to have some people like you as my friends even thought we are miles away from each other but I know we will see each other soon. miss you, Daisy p.s. This is just part of an email I sent to a friend. I wanted to post it here because it meant a lot to me.

The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. - by Allan K. Chalmers p.s. I don't really want for my blog to be only a collection of inspiring quotes. I want it to me something more. I must come back and write more often.
