Interesting stuff, and since they have a new application/utility every day, it’s worth going back over and over again. I’ve installed a few games here and there, but today’s giveaway is DiskInternals’ Uneraser (normally $39.95). It’s a full version, and there’s a little online-only unlocker, which doesn’t seem to have any nasty sorta payload (that…

Vista and Office Final
Geekin’… sorry for folks who were reading me for the warm fuzzies. So, I’m writing this from a machine that’s running the *REAL* honest-to-goodness Vista Ultimate. Downloaded from MSDN a mere two days ago. I’d played with some of the Betas and Release Candidates, and for the most part kept thinking “Yeah, it’s sorta pretty,…
CanBlogAwards? Why was I nominated? Oh, ’cause I’m a tech blog (allegedly).
Put that under your mouse and click it. It was recently pointed out to me that I’d been nominated for the Canadian Blog Awards in the category of Best Sci/Tech Blog. I asked aloud why this was the case, I was reminded of a few of the geekier things I’ve posted about in the last……
GeckoBloggle now Mobile-Friendly
For any of the folks out there who use their Blackberry, PalmPilot, Treo, or cel phone (ouch!) to surf Teh Intarwebs, you’ll find that this blog now detects your miniature screenage and adjusts accordingly, throwing out all the pictures and flash-based doohickery. …and no, it doesn’t look any different from a “real” browser, so don’t…
Interesting study on user interface – the don’t click it site.
After the first welcome page, you do NOT have to click anything… Bit of a brain bender at first, and then you get used to it pretty quick. Maybe one day, the next big thing will be the NO-button mouse. http://www.dontclick.it/
GTD (Gecko Temple DoStuff)
Or “How I went from a long-haired zippy geek to a motivational speaker in just Twelve! Short! Months!” So, for any of you that know me, you’ll not be surprised that I’m the kinda guy who finds Tony Robbins kinda freaky. Same goes for any of those folks carrying around those manpurse (murse?) Day-Timer things…
The coolest video you’ll see this year (if you like lots and lots of cars flying around)
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/02/the-coolest-video-youll-see-this-year/ Someone crammed 1,000 cars into a physics engine. It’s sorta freaky beautiful, and I wanna know what kinda hardware was running that demo (which looks much smoother in the screen that the above pic may lead you to believe).
Oldschool Eyecandy: Bryce 5.0 is Free Now
There’s probably not too many of my readers who’ll remember this application from when it first came out, but Bryce 5.0 is now free for download (the latest version Bryce 5.5 is still about $100). Wanna make shiny balls that hang in the air, and huge burning planets in the background, like this one? Get…
Hullo – Voice-Over-IP for folks who don’t have highspeed connections.
I don’t know how long they’ll keep it free, but www.hullo.com has released a beta of their foray into the VOIP arena. You can give it all of your phone numbers (I’m just waiting to see if they start spamming me with marketing calls or something), and you can dial out to land lines for…
New theme…
So, I’m playing with the mind-gobblingly well-done new theme [Visitered Little] on my WordPress (go [here] to see it, if you’re reading this via RSS or LiveJournal, or something). What do you think? Now I just need to find a picture that I took that I want as wallpaper.
