Flock
I’ve been playing with this Flock browser for about 30 minutes. It’s pretty slick for browsing Flickr and YouTube. There are social networking enhancements, too, but I don’t have a MySpace account anymore to test it out with.
The blog integration is pretty nice, I have to admit. In fact, I’m writing this post using Flock.
Overall, this software has some potential. I rely way too much on Firefox (and my plethora of extensions) to function on a daily basis right now, so I can’t imagine making a full switch. I imagine keeping this around a little bit to play with, though.
Another upgrade option for the PS3
If you’re craving for more storage on your PS3 but like to keep it internal.
Believe it or not, this does not void the warrantee
Windows Grep
This is pretty awesome. Of course you can always install Cygwin and use grep via the Cygwin shell, but who wants to complicate their lives by installing a new shell and dealing with all that? Probably the same people who want to be able to grep in the first place.
Google Style RPG Maps
Now why didn’t I think of this? I would’ve loved to have something like this for some of the Gold Box SSI games I was playing back in ancient times.
Google Hacks
I daresay that the general public rarely if ever makes use of the advanced search capabilities of Google. I don’t blame them–learning a query language can be daunting to the uninitiated.
Those wonder(fully evil) folks at Google released a fun little utility (for Mac/Win/Linux) to take advantage of those hacks.
No Frills Shopping @ Amazon
Uncluttr provides a drag-and-drop, no-frills interface on top of Amazon.com. I can see this being useful if you’re an Amazon.com die-hard and you just want to cut straight to the chase.
Mission Stencil Story
A real-life Choose Your Own Adventure. Any of you San Francisco folk catch this when it happened?
The mission stencil story is an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure story that takes place on the sidewalks of the Mission district in San Francisco. It is told in a new medium of storytelling that uses spraypainted stencils connected to each other by arrows. The streetscape is used as sort of an illustration to accompany each piece of text.Its a love story with 2 characters who start in different locations. His story starts at 16th and Valencia, in front of the Crown Hotel / Limon Restaurant with the text “He Leaves his Lonely Apartment.” Her story starts at 21st and Guerrero in front of a stunning mansion with the text, “She Leaves her Lonely Apartment.” Eventually their paths merge, at the point where they meet, and their paths travel together
until drama pulls them apart.Their are two possible endings, happy and tragic, and two other points where the story can end unexpectedly if the viewer chooses the wrong ending. All in all, there are 4 possible endings.
