A tribute to the 04 Boston Red Sox
I found this last night, about 10 minutes after the Sox beat the Yankees. Oh, my only other comment about this, “Who’s your daddy now bitches?”
MusicPlasma.com
This is a very interesting site that provides a visual representation of the music artist/group you search for in relation to other artists’s they have collaborated with or are similar to. This shows yet another use of the incredibely powerful amazon webservice API. I really good learn how to use these API’s (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google, etc).

2Entwine | Introducing Gush
This wonderful little application was pointed out to me last night. If you’re looking for a useful and visually attractive RSS feeder reader this could be what you’ve been looking for. It’s cross-platform, open source, and fully interoperational with Jabber (for the 10 people that use Jabber… lol) Anyways, the major downsides include it being relatively resource intensive because of it’s heavy use and reliance on Flash 7. 
Why they chose to use such a god-awful platform is beyond me, a more logical platform would have been the .Net 2.0 (beta) Framework….which has now become more or less cross-platform since it’s been ported over to any *nix system. Ah well.
New Design Test Blog
Just for anyone who is interested, I am testing out what will soon become the new site design. You can get a sneak preview of the design Here. Please feel free to drop me a comment or an email and let me know what you think, what you like, or any problems you find. Thank your for your help.
[Update] CherryOS
Well it’s official. This was a hoax.
The website is dead, and I think the gentlement (that is being very kind) should have a similar fate. I will leave it at that.
Will Google say Hello to IM? | CNET News.com
Very interesting article, this may be a good piece of software. Though, I really doubt Google can improve significantly on AIM, Trillian, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, etc…you get the point, there are already far too many IM clients…the only way Google has a chance is to make a cross-network client that allows you to communicate with AIM users and MSN users for example, otherwise, this is going no where.
Bungie.net: News – Halo 2 Leaked
Bungie’s Response to the Halo 2 Leak
First off, I’d like to state that I have nothing but the utmost respect for Bungie. I hope whoever released Halo 2 get caught and spends there remaining days locked up in a tiny little room only to be let out to live in fear of dropping the soap. I will point this out for anyone who is unaware: Microsoft owns Bungie…therefore, this not only pisses off Bungie because of all there hard work, this pisses off Microsoft…and a pissed off Microsoft is a scary thing. That said, I found this rather amusing. Let me quote this for you:
“Microsoft is currently engaged in a full scale investigation and to those foolish enough to partake in this piracy, you will soon witness the firepower of this fully operational battle station.”
All I can say is, sucks to be these people when Microsoft finds them. 
Exclusive: MSN Messenger Beta v7.0 Build 2055
Keep in mind, this is Beta software…you’ve been warned.
Here are some of the new features:
Winks: Winks allow you to send kisses, hearts and all sorts of silly cartoons to your contacts.
Nudge: Nudge allows you to send a “shake” to your contact. Both your own and your contacts MSN Messenger window will shake, much like how Internet Explorer windows shake using the correct javascript.
Download packs: Download packs will allow users to grab winks/emoticons/display pictures and backgrounds straight from MSN. As these currently don’t work we were unable to test them.
Games: Chess Club, Bankshot Billiards Club are included if you’re a Instant Games Clubhouse member. Standard Checkers/Solitaire Showdown/Bejeweled/Minesweeper Flags and Tic Tac Toe are still included.
Activities: Activities allow you to share files, calendars, photos and perform tasks such as remote assistance.
Deluxe Display Pictures: Although these are unavailable it seems like MSN are going to supply animated display pictures.
And now for the download link:
YouSendIt | Email large files quickly, securely, and easily!
