Qik


For those of you paying attention, I've added a new video frame to my site (which will be replaced by a link to my profile later). This is a sweet new tool called Qik. It allows you to turn almost any phone with a camera into a functioning webcam. The speed is actually very good as well, especially when using 3G, or WiFi. The coolest part? As you record your videos, they are automagically uploaded to Qiks website. From there, you can share, embed, or delete as you see fit. Plus, if you have a video embedded on a site or blog, and you start to upload live feed, the video frame will automatically update so everybody on that site can now watch your shananigans!

And hey, if Ashton Kutcher thinks its cool, who are you to disagree?

Just watch, laugh, love, and wish you were this cool...

Gmail Down?

So is it just me, or is gmail down for anybody else?

***UPDATE***
Gmail seems to be back up and running. Whew! That was scary!

Ultimate Windows Tweaker Updated

If you're a computer user, which I'm assuming you are since you're reading this, then you're running an operating system.  And following the current statistics, you're using Windows, most likely Vista.  Now, using my psychic powers, I'm going to guess there is at least one thing you don't like about Vista, whether its a graphical gripe, or a speed splat.  Enter Tweak UI (A.K.A. Ultimate Windows Tweaker).  Tweak UI puts tons of settings in one clickable window.  And, with their most recent update adding 20 more tweak-ables, you can now edit over 160 settings.  If you haven't hopped on board the Windows 7 Beta train,(which you can't do anymore) this is the way to go.

This Week in Fun!

Sarah lane was among several other very talented people to be laid off back in October '08 from Revision 3's staff. It was a very sad end to three different and equally great shows; the long running Pixel Perfect, and the two new comers PopSiren, and Internet Superstar. She has continued working intermittently guest starring on web shows like Twit and The Digg Reel. It appears that things are finally looking stable again for Sarah and our old friend Martin Sargeant. They are currently working on episode 5 of their new web show, This week in Fun!. Anybody who has been on the internet and has any sort of nerd in them has seen Twit and knows Leo Laporte, and its good to see that this group of great and geeky minds are sticking together.
