Found some cool websites

I got an email this morning about an SDForum event happening next week on the future of vertical search. When I went over to that site, I found links to various cool companies. Some of them are:

Technorati

Snap

Raw Sugar

Simply Hired

Feedster

Looks like this is the future of search. Sorta what happened with online shopping sites. Once there were too many you needed a meta shopping site (like jango) that would then search many of the shopping sites.

cycling to work

I have been cycling to work for the past couple of days and its been fun. Yesterday I rode in with an average speed of 15mph though my usual average has been 13.5-14.0 mph. Its about 4.5 miles to work from home and there are several lights that I have to wait at, then there are the two security gates on base.

My friend Pamela rides on the weekend and she claims an average ride speed of 16mph for rides of over 50 miles. I need to speed up to be that fast.
