Google has introduced Sketchup, a free 3D modelling program that can be used by everyone. Google says about Sketchup : “Great tools are ones you look forward to using. They do one thing (or maybe two) really, really well. They let you do what you want without having to figure out how. They help withhard or boring tasks so that you can focus on being creative, or productive, or both. And they are, in their own way, beautiful.”
Each one of us should shape his personal set of missions and goals. The important thing is not about having extremely high goals. It is about setting up clear ones.
“We want Google to be the third half of your brain.”
Nowadays there are a lot of powerful (and free) tool around. Tools to draw, to write, to plan, to do all kind of different things. Do you use them?
