I bouth a package of Aquafresh toothbrushes and found a code for three free songs on the package. What a toothbrush has to do with music downloads, I have no idea! The unfortunate part about it is that the music is from Sony’s Connect music store where you can only download DRM-ridden Windows Media Audio… Read more »

Lemmings in a Browser
I guess this is along the same lines as my recent “old school games” posts. Someone has created a web version of Lemmings using DHTML. It has been quite some time since I’ve played this game! I started playing and got hooked on it last night making it all the way to level 11. I… Read more »
Super (Bowl) Ads
Last night was the big game! Who was playing again? I was watching it for the commercials. The one time of year when companies go all out and pay millions of dollars for 30 seconds. Here are a few of my favorites. Hummer – Monsters Even though I can’t stand the vehicles and participate in… Read more »
Four Things
OK, so it looks like I got tagged. I guess this is kind of the blog equivalent to chain letters. I better do it or be doomed to a life of unhappiness.

Bubble
Earlier this week, I went to the Bijou (The University of Iowa’s indie/art film theater) to see Steven Soderbergh’s new film, Bubble. I’ve been a fan of his movies for a while (Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s 12, Traffic, The Limey, and others) so I was expecting to enjoy this one as well. Outside of… Read more »
c64 Games Online
Another addition in the posts about old-school computer games (post1, post 2). Here’s a site where you can play classic Commodore 64 games in your web browser (this one uses java).
Pickr and Fastr
If you build a tool off of Flickr, it apparently must end in the “er” sound spelled with only the letter “r”. Anyway, I ran across some more cool Flickr do-dads. ColorPickr ColorPickr is just a color palette that pulls images from Flickr based on the color that you chose. Fastr Fastr is actually a… Read more »

It’s About Freakin’ Time Gmail!
Gmail launched (invite only) in the Spring of 2004. Why has it taken them this long to FINALLY put in a delete button. It probably took some developer 15 minutes to write. Yeesh… about time!
New Apple Stuff
I’m a bit behind on this (for obvious reasons) but am finally getting around to the new Apple announcements. Outside of the typical “sales are good – blah blah blah – iPods rule! – blah blah blah,” three big announcements were made. iLife/iWork Upgrades Apple rev’ed the iLife and iWork suites. For most of the… Read more »

Two Cool New Flickr Toys
Slickr This is a really slick screensaver (hence the name) that pulls images from Flickr and does a nice Ken-Burns-Like fade between them in a screensaver. You can chose to only use your Flickr images, or certain groups, or just random photos (that’s what I’ve got mine set on). Retrievr This is just a cool… Read more »

New Size Mentos Rolls
While waiting to see King Kong the other night, I ran across a new size roll of Mentos at the dollar store. They’re not the tiny mini-rolls, and they’re not as long as the regular size rolls either. It’s a special medium-sized roll for when you’re not in the mood for an entire large roll… Read more »
