If you have a few minutes over the weekend to check out a few sites, here are some I will be playing around with.
1) http://www.watchthatpage.com/ - WatchThatPage is a service that enables you to automatically collect new information from your favorite pages on the Internet. You select which pages to monitor, and WatchThatPage will find which pages have changed, and collect all the new content for you. The new information is presented to you in an email and/or a personal web page. You can specify when the changes will be collected, so they are fresh when you want to read them.
2) The Commodore 64 is celebrating its 25th anniversary. If you are like me, there is still a soft spot in your heart for thse 5 1/4 inch floppy DOS disks and programming your computer to say, "Shall we play a game?" as you "login" to the WOPR. For me, my first love was the Ti 99/4a by Texas Instruments. There is a great emulator out there that I downloaded the other day and I am going to play a few games of Parsec.
3) I am still working through Windows Live and I still dig the email. I know, its just Windows Mail, but it is a great way to monitor my email on my roving home laptop. I did run into some troubles with the Live Family Safety which blocked complete access to my computer after I restarted. I just deleted it completely for now. Didn't have the time to mess with it.
4) While still a little pricey, they are becoming more affordable. These look like fun. I saw a lower tech version at Toys 'R Us for like $180 that use just RCA cables. But 52" screen at 6 feet away sounds pretty good to me.
5) Let me know what kind of geek you are. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=2086153791&size=o&context=set-72157601200807582.
