Ever took an anatomy class and wished you had your very own 3D model of the human body? Well, wish no more! Check out “Google Body” by the great folks at Google Labs.
Here’s a short blurb from Google about Google Body:
Google Body is a detailed 3D model of the human body. You can peel back anatomical layers, zoom in, and navigate to parts that interest you. Click to identify anatomy, or search for muscles, organs, bones and more. You can also share the exact scene you are viewing by copying and pasting the corresponding URL.
Note:This only works in Google Chrome.

About a year ago I got an invite in my Gmail to try a new Google service called Google Voice. I’m a big Google fan so I quickly signed up and began to use it. It was touted as a phone management system but I didn’t think much of it until I realized what that actually entailed. Let me tell you what Google Voice is. It is a single phone number that you can use to: make free long distance calls, make inexpensive international calls, text for free, read or hear voicemail (it will actually transcribe your voicemail!), manage all of your other phone numbers, filter how you receive calls by contacts, and the list goes on. This can be all managed from a web browser, or even a phone. I currently use Google Voice primarily to make all of my long distance calls. I’ve used it in this capacity so much, that I’ve recently removed the long distance service from my land line entirely. This has saved me quite a bit of money! These are just a few of the highlights of Google Voice. If you want to find out more, please go here:

PhotoBooth is an application that comes bundled with Apple’s OS X operating system. It works with the iSight camera built into a Mac laptop or iMac. It can be used in creating short video podcasts as well as taking individual pictures. Once you launch the application and snap a few pictures, you can explore effects by clicking the effects button and looking at previews of each effect.
If you happen to be in Lybyer, stop by the training lab in 210 and try out PhotoBooth.
