Netvibes is a customizable web page where you can add widgets (such as igoogle but with a better design). The 5 star widgets I think are most important to note are gmail and facebook as well as an rss feed application where you can add you favorite blogs (not gonna say anything). Netvibes recently added a move and drop feature in their NETVIBES GINGER BETA and even more awesome. There are several different codes that you can enter to get into this private version (note: some might be already be used up as they were all set up with a number of invites): FACEBOOK, TCGINGER500, 100GINGERWW, and WIREDGIN100 (you also need an account before you sign up.) If you can’t get that, well I MIGHT be able to help you out…Sign Up Here

If you want, more widgets. You can also make one at Orchestr8. They have a cool clipping thing where you can get a website and clip any part of it. Check it out. It’s a must try. Heres my version of it:

Today I am going to endorse Barack Obama. I’ve been a fan of him for months, but now I’m going to start something bigger. I know it’s not something if I just say it (like the big ol’ devil, Hillary Clinton, says) so in the next few weeks I’ll begin helping him out. Get ready to see a big change. (NOTE: I did purposely put some categories on the post that have no relevance to the intended purpose, but take a look at it. You’ll find that it is sort of related.)

Like illegally and legally downloading music, movies, and more? Really? Me too (note: not really!) YouTorrent is the newest search engine available. It searches many of the pirate websites including BitTorrent and allows you to download them. It also compares the results of the pirate sites so you can make the correct choice and most likely not get a virus on your computer. As it is a search engine, not an actual pirate date site, it may not be shut down. However, it may so try it now!

Think Google knows everything? Well now it knows more. Google is opening up terabytes of information on databases for scientists. 120 terabytes of images will be taken from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Archimedes Palimpsest. Google will also be creating a Youtube like social site for these scientists so they can create an experiment and have others comment on their project. Cool, eh?

Private Beta site, Musana is a website where you upload an unlimited number of mp3’s (only limit is 15mb a song) and stream them to your computer. Like other sites, you can also embed the players into your website. The website has a really cool flash and javascript interface. It is a really cool a pretty darn cool idea.

The Apple keynotes was this week as most of you may know, and I found it very boring because there was nothing too exciting. Sure the Mac Air (the new skinny mac that can easily fit into a yellow envelope) is one of a kind, but for $1700? There’s no way I would want to buy something like this, even if it had a CD drive. And the movie rentals? Sure they are cool, but I don’t want to be rushed too much to watch a movie. We should be able to set the time and pay for that; instead, a petty 24 hours from pressing play. I mean, what if I fell asleep in the middle of the movie? Now what happened to Austin Powers when he was being attacked by that fat guy?

To kick off the new year, Google has added a few new features:

There has already been people playing music on video sites like YouTube, but what about that superstar favorite of yours? He/she wouldn’t play on a silly site like that where you get no money. But how about Deep Rock Drive? As boring as the name sounds, it’s actually a pretty awesome idea. Get 1000 people to sign a petition for a particular band or artist and then the site gets the band to come over to their studios and give a over the web live concert. Here’s how it works, the band goes into this studio with cameras surrounding them and two huge screens. The surrounding cameras allow any user who is watching to pick the view they crave. One of the huge screens are actually to show the band what the viewers are saying. Yes. You can actually ask your favorite band to play your favorite song. The last screen is the background screen. You know, the ones that you see in any top notch concert. The tickets only cost about $6.00.

(Note: “music” is now added as a category and “movies” has been changed to “videos”)

Happy New Years Everyone!

This year is going to change; more technical advances, and a new president.

We’ve seen a lot this year; good and bad, but now we need to look to the future.

Here’s what I want to get this year: A LaCie 500 GB External Hard Drive, The Android (gPhone), and a LiveScribe Smart Pen. What do you guys want to buy?

Ender’s Game, based on a book, is the movie I most want to see that’s coming out this year. What do you want to see this year?

Well, gotta go celebrate.
