Project 10^100



To celebrate its tenth birthday, Google launched Project 10^100 a "call for ideas that could help as many people as possible, and a program to bring the best of those ideas to life." The ten best ideas will each receive a ten million dollar grant.

In an era where $2 million will buy a 30 second commercial spot on the Super Bowl, Google's cause-related marketing project will positively impact the world for the long term.

Don't be afraid, if you are not "qualified."

You'll never know when you're big break will happen.  The secret is to be ready at all times. Last weekend, Matt Williams, a Texas Tech sophomore, won a month of free rent by kicking a 30-yard field goal during a contest at his school's football game. Although Texas Tech is currently ranked #8 in the country, the team has missed six extra point attempts and half of its field goal attempts. Following the contest, Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach, approached Williams and asked him to be the team's extra point kicker. Tomorrow, Williams receives his big break and will kick extra points against #19 Kansas. If you have a talent, don't be afraid to share it.  You'll never know who is watching and where it will take you.
