Sushi Azabu is a hidden restaurant, in the manner of Freemans and La Esquina. These hideaways are always catnip for ever-competitive New Yorkers, who relish inside tips and inside tracks that friends and colleagues don’t have. It’s unmarked, of course. To find it you enter an unremarkable-looking multi-ethnic restaurant named the Greenwich Grill, tell the host just inside that you’re sushi-bound, and then wait for a server communicating with unseen co-conspirators via a headset to escort you to a staircase off the Greenwich Grill’s dining room. Down the steps you go to a dark subterranean lair with a blond wood sushi bar, three enormous circular booths, a pebbled floor that makes you feel unsteady as you walk across it and a ceiling of tightly clustered, rounded pipes of bamboo.

I had this idea back in 1995 with a guy named Baboo where in one web browser window (or tab in todays world) you could display several sites. This idea is possible with YubNub and this link is an example of what I was thinking… perfect for students doing research online. Another pane could even be a Google (or Zoho) docs word processor!
The idea of “crowdsourcing” to improve society in some way or solve seemingly insurmountable problems is a topic that I have been discussing with a few people for a couple of years now. This link gives two interesting examples of this!

My two cents for today…
No new post this afternoon… instead drool over the new feature… a tag cloud on the right info pane.
