Google search idea of the day
You know how you can Google “define: [inert word you want defined]” and Google gives you a page of definitions for that word? It should also be able to handle “thesaurus: [insert word you want synonyms for].
Notes
Google and the Guggenheim Museum have teamed up to launch a shelter design competition with a twist.
From the Google blog:
“To enter, use Google SketchUp to design a small structure where someone might sleep and work. Your shelter should be created for a specific site anywhere in the world and geo-located in Google Earth. It also should conform to size constraints and must not include running water, gas or electricity. When you’re done with your design, upload it to the Google 3D Warehouse, then fill out the submission form on the Guggenheim website.”
Submission deadline: August 23rd.

Curious about cities, patterns, design, and marginalia. I use the word 'narrative' a lot. Emmanuel is Ghanaian, and a long way from home. Nice to meet you. (@equartey, Pinterest, email, ask)
