From the same company that brought you Waxmail, there’s Skylook.
I swear I am such a sucker for these addins. I mean, I just eat it up when a company takes a great product like Outlook and integrates it with another great product like Skype. Cool beans.
Shut Up! Yes, Outlook is a great product. …well, at least until Zimbra comes out…
I AM a sucker for these, but my personal shortcomings aside, Skylook (the free version) allows you to text Outlook contacts and reply to emails via Skype. That’s pretty cool in it’s own right, but when you …read more

It must be the height of a man’s fantasy to be with a girl geek that’s not super ugly… That’s all I can figure. Here’s what I mean.
1-G4 has turned into G-Whore.
I thought it was bad when they brought on the Whip Set, but adding the Man Show, CinemaTech: Nocturnal emissions, Video Game Vixens and other tres-trashy crap has actually made me stop watching my favorite network. I don’t even watch TV anymore.
2-Even real girl gamers are starting to change on me FHM ran a half-naked Morgan Webb article not long ago that was just shocking. …read more

I’m playing with it now, not sure how I like it. The GUI on it is pretty (remember, I’m a girl) and I like the related blog side area. It lists 2 or 3, then drops down for more.
It’s producing different results than Technorati, Gada.be (which I use daily now), and IceRocket. This is probably due to the fact Sphere doesn’t crawl RSS feeds, but actual blogs. And I have noticed lapses. For instance, this blog and sleepyblogger.com aren’t listed, at all. Not even one page is indexed.
The email that I got …read more

Let’s say you’re a lazy bum. No, not you personally, I mean you probably are, but what do I know?
So, we were saying you were a lazy bum and you wanted to send email without typing. Waxmail lets you record your message, attaches it to Outlook as an MP3 file, and allows you to send it to whoever you want. They receive your speak-mail (that’s my own term – no charge for that… and listen to it w/o having to read it. All-in-all it’s a lazy man’s solution to sending and receiving email.
What …read more

Saw a review for this game tonight and literally sat down to google it. I had no idea this thing was coming up so close. I have to admit I have been drooling over the fact this book was gonna be out in December, but where the heck did the year go???
Anyway, reviewer said the game rocked and the kids get to work together, each having their own abilities. This just sounds fabulous. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy must defeat the white witch and her armies to free Aslan and save Narnia…

Dreamy…
This is just another reason my XBox …read more

Now, I know for some of you this is not a news flash. I have one friend who complains alot about how he’s sick of hearing AJAX is so cool because it’s not new. And, while it is being used really, really creatively lately, WIRED mag decided it was time to remind everyone that the software company everybody loves to hate was responsible for it’s creation.
I think the reason AJAX is so hot right now is because of the innovative ways it can be used with RSS and because, like many, I think the hundred GB …read more

Update: Added Screenshot
Yours truly got an advanced download of Flock.
OK, I admit it, while it was invite only, all you had to do was request more info when it became available. Well I think that’s it, either that or they saw how adorable I was and sent me the link… Either idea has merit.
Anyway, I downloaded it and have been playing with it. Of course, like any beta you have to agree your software is gonna crash some, and while I have seen 2 crashes, I’ve put it through the paces, so …read more

One of my favorite bloggers, Chris Slate, Ed. of PlayStation Magazine and huge Nintendo fan, took a hard look at the 360 and he says he’s excited about it. Chris Slate’s Game Brain
Nice to see someone other than current XBox users are. Here’s the recap of his hands on review.
“360 isn’t nearly as powerful as PS3!” / “Wait, maybe it is!”
“Perfect Dark Zero is god-awful!” / “Hold on — PDZ could be really good!”
“Nothing looks next-gen.” / “Holy s***, PGR3 in-car cam!!!”
He goes on to say:
1. He’s “completely impressed with every aspect of the system.”
2. Launch …read more
