Finally, Change I Can Believe In: Save the Developers

I’m not the type of guy who likes to blindly follow charities and other non profit organizations, and general causes that much of America likes to rally around. Protect the environment? Save the whales? Feed the hungry? Those are all well and good–but I’ll let someone else fight the fight for me.
All that changed when […]

Web OS + MySpace + DeviantArt = Hurox

If Windows Vista was to be turned into a website, this would be it. Hurox design alludes to the sad fact that all of budget was spent on the underlying systems and not on a snazzy exterior.

On the positive side, there is a solid technological background running Hurox–it just needs the assistance of a well seasoned web designer to bring the project to life.

Weekend Game(s): SHIFT & SHIFT 2

Think of them as 2D, black and white versions of Portal–without the portals. A great way to kill a half hour this weekend so long as you enjoy wrapping your mind around a couple of easy to pick up and play puzzle games.

Web OK or KO? vs. CommandShit3: Website Ratings

Now, as much as I enjoy rating attractive girls, Software Battle is a site devoted to apps, the internet, and technology in general. And to keep things in the tech genre, I present you with two unique offshoots from the hot or not craze: Web OK or KO? and CommandShift3. No pretty girls here. Sorry.

In this first Weekly Read, I take a look at a site I’ve admired for some time: Upstart Blogger. It’s a uniquely designed site that provides a lot of valuable information for anyone looking to start a Wordpress blog. Definitely worth checking out if you’re an upstart blogger too.

Aviary, PMOG, and Wuala Invites

I somehow managed to get a lot of beta invites over the past few days, and I’m sharing them with anyone who happens to stop by. All you have to do is drop a comment and you’re in.

Useful But Underutilized: SafePasswd.com

I stumble on a site every so often that I simply don’t know what it’s purpose is. Today, I’m going to discuss such a site. It’s not that these sites are poorly coded, ugly, or that they don’t fill a particular niche. There just doesn’t seem to be any real need for them. SafePasswd.com is such a site.

Take the Thinking out of Cooking with Cookthink

On first glance, I almost mistook Cookthink as just another recipe site. Type in a couple of ingredients and it searches the database. But Cookthink, thankfully enough, is far more than a simple recipe site. It offers enough uniqueness to set it apart from staples like AllRecipes.com and Cooks.com.

Will Microsoft’s Feud With Web Designers Continue With IE8?

Maybe it would be best if Microsoft just scrapped the Internet Explorer rendering engine and switched over to WebKit.

Photwo Makes Easy Photo Sharing Even Easier

The photo-hosting niche has to be a tough one to crack into. There is a ton of competition from the dozen or so sites already popular among the masses. If it wants to stand out from the crowd, a newcomer really has to provide a hot new angle that nobody has thought of before. Hence, Photwo’s claim that anyone can make a photo album in two minutes. A lofty claim. Let’s see if it holds up.
