Last night...

I was raving on about how impressed I was with the website drop.io and decided that I should spend an hour or two today getting into the thing and seeing what was what.

But as the saying goes, the best laid plans gang aft agley and after less than a minute I was distracted by another site and felt I should let you all know about it. Cooliris is a neat little plugin that allows you to view the media from a site in a nice 3D environment.

Particularly nice for Google Images, Picasa albums and media rich websites, Cooliris and Coolpreviews speeds up your browsing and works with Firefox, I.E, Safari, Bebo, Myspace, Facebook, Youtube and many, many, more.

Be a virtual tourist...

On this site.

If you have always had a hankering to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House from a few thousand feet above the harbour or have wanted to see what Niagara Falls looks like I'd recommend that you do.

*The technology behind these stunning images was invented by a bloke from Edinburgh. How cool is that?

Another cool tool...

I found on Kelly Software is the rather nifty Icon Hider.

Icon Hider does pretty much what it says on the tin, it hides icons. Just run the .exe file and it sits in the system tray and allows you to hide or show all your desktop icons with the Ctrl and Alt buttons.

I like it.

While we're kinda on the subject...

Ever since I first saw The Matrix in the movies I've wanted a screensaver that did the whole green code thing and now I've got one thanks to Kelly Software.

It's a great screensaver that runs well, even on my bag of nails PC, has smooth graphics with a multicoloured code option and there is also the option of playing music when the screensaver kicks in.
