Bored?
Looking for something fun to do?
Why not take a few minutes to poke around with Google?
(“Hey, Web Watch – we already know how to use Google,” you say. Of course you do. But here’s how to have FUN with Google search…)

How hard is it to learn Spanish?
When you look at the scale of all languages around the world, learning Spanish is about as difficult as learning French, Italian, or Portuguese.
Surprisingly, a few other languages were also considered at the same level — Afrikaans, Norwegian, Swedish, and Dutch included.
With all of today’s technology, one common household feature can also be one of the most frustrating.
Yes, we’re talking about the toilet. More specifically, your toilet’s flushing ability.
(Did you know that there are seven different types of poop? We’ll get back to this in a moment…)
One thing that Web Watch always makes note of when we’re staying at hotels across the country is whether the hotel’s engineering staff “get it” in terms of providing adequate flushing power for their guests. We were so impressed at the flushing prowess at one hotel that we went so far as to take a look in the tank to see what magic flushing mechanism was inside (in that case, it was a professional pressurized unit – all the more likely to not break by curious guests like ourselves).
Worse is when we have to report to the hotel’s front desk about the poor toilet situation in our room. We often wonder is it an isolated situation in our room, or is it something that’s more common across the whole floor or entire hotel. Sadly, we never do get the chance to get the answer to this.
How well do you know your dog?
More importantly, how well does your dog know you?
Have you ever noticed that your dog does really well with sensory clues around them to react to? Web Watch remembers a former pet we had that would sleep in the corner all night long… but the one time that we knowingly get up to go to the refrigerator for a snack, they would wake right up and follow us to the kitchen.
Every. Single. Time.
It’s like they knew something, sensed something about what we were doing – and acted upon it.
Turns out, our observation isn’t that far from the truth discovered by scientists.
Are you an adult?
If you were, then you would already know that there are certain responsibilities that you have now that you didn’t have when you were growing up.
Responsibilities such as how to act when you’re around pregnant women.
So the other day, Web Watch was out on the road and needed to get from our hotel to a restaurant a few miles away.
We definitely had choices available, as taking a taxi wasn’t our only option — and we didn’t necessarily need to have door-to-door service as being dropped off anywhere in the general neighborhood would have been perfectly acceptable.
But being on a tight budget, we wanted to know ahead of time how much our taxi ride was going to cost us.
Inbox Zero.
Web Watch hears this phrase thrown about at the office by managers who feel overwhelmed by the constant influx of arriving email messages.
All they want to do is get their email inbox to read “0 messages”…. and hopefully keep it that way.
Web Watch understands the desire to have 0 waiting messages, but INBOX ZERO is a goal that not everyone can achieve — especially us, who receives upwards of 1000 emails a day across multiple email accounts. Granted, the vast majority of those messages are ones that can either be filed away or deleted without even being read or addressed — but that still is going to leave a few hundred emails each day that still need to be processed in some manner.
Yeah, achieving INBOX ZERO isn’t always possible for everybody…
