Scribd

Mar 09, 2007 in technology, internet

There are a new website that lets you publish and discover documents online. It is like a big online library where anyone can upload.

Anything you can put in a Word (.doc), PDF (.pdf), text (.txt), PowerPoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), Postscript (.ps), or LIT (.lit) file, you can upload to Scribd.

People can rate your documents and you have great stats information about your files, as you can see bellow:

You even can make money with the site. Every document you upload automatically has a link to the Print(fu) service, where readers can get a printed copy mailed to them for a few dollars. Every time someone orders a print copy of your document through Print(fu), Print(fu) will email you $1 using Paypal.

But, they advice:

Don’t get too excited - the amount of money you will make is likely to be trivial. This is a fun service, not a serious way to make money.

Bryan Berg - the Cardstacker

Mar 08, 2007 in fun


Do you like to play cards?

Well, this guy, Bryan Berg, spends lots of his time with cards, but not playing.
He is a Cardstacker. He makes fantastic card architecture. Formally trained as a designer and architect, Berg holds several Guinness World Records for houses of cards.

Bryan Berg broke the Guinness World Record for the World’s Tallest House of Cards in 1992 at the age of seventeen, with a tower fourteen feet, six inches tall. His latest record-holding structure in the category is over twenty-five feet tall. In 2004, Guinness created a new record category for the World’s Largest House of Cards to recognize a project Berg built for Walt Disney World–a replica of Cinderella’s Castle. He continues to hold both records.

In 2004, Berg earned his Master of Design Studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He previously served as design faculty for three years in the Department of Architecture at Iowa State University, where he received his Professional Degree in Architecture in 1997.

 

In my case, I can build a 8-cards house… And I thought it was great…
