Surfing The Web So You Don't Have To
I don’t have a mouse wheel on my laptop, nor do I have an extra external mouse that has one (as a mouse wheel is required), but I’ve heard a lot of people say this is a very nice original game. Feel free to judge for yourself.
Speaking of Flash toys, this one puts our place in the universe in a little perspective.
It’s Gluey, and it’s simple, but quite fun.
Time to kill some of it…
It’s a Werebox and you can play it after the jump…
The NCAA March Madness pick ’em has been a tradition around these parts for quite a while, and this year will be the fifth year we do it. You can read up about last year’s winner and the prizes that were awarded, and if you really want to look back further, here are the pages from 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 (look at the track backs on each page to see scoring links and pages).
We had a good bunch of prizes last year, and I’m looking for prizes to give away this year (being our fifth year, let’s try to get some good stuff). Like before, you’ll get text links on the tournament page, plus a banner ad in rotation with all the other prize providers like we had last year (and of course my adoration, because local business is awesome). E-mail me at utterlyboring [at] gmail [dot] com if you have something to donate (I’ll be e-mailing last year’s prize providers again to see if they’ve got something to donate).
Update on 1/31/10: We’ve got some great prizes being submitted, and I have a couple good ones to throw in as well — this will EASILY be the best prize cache out of all the competitions we’ve had.
I’m a heavy e-mail user, and basically live out of my inbox because of all the companies I deal with an work with. I regularly check 10 accounts several times a day, a few of those several times and hour, and receive hundreds of messages per day. Prior to today, I had all this filtering into Outlook 2003, all via POP3 download, with a few add ons and filters to make my life easier in there. I have been using Outlook for years, so I have several archived PST (Outlook’s storage file) files on my hard drive, but I also have one large PST that is my main working file. I also needed it recently for use with MS Exchange as well as ActiveSync connections with my phone. After all these years, and despite archiving on a regular basis, Outlook just drags more and more. Not only that, but IMAP support in Outlook always seemed like an after-thought. It also was a pain to look up messages if I didn’t have them properly sorted, because Outlook didn’t have built-in indexing of messages (not until 2007, which I don’t have). Third-party indexing solutions seemed to only make the slow-down problem worse, and never seemed to index things properly.
I’d been looking at moving to a different email client for a while, but never did as Outlook has always Just Worked™. But I decided to make the move to Thunderbird, now that it’s mature enough to handle all I could throw at it.
His 2006 Emmy’s opening was the best ever…
