Oh boy, here it comes. Are you ready? The torrent of new stuff you should be checking out right now is about to hit you square in the face.
First up: Digg.com
This is by far the best tech and news social bookmarking site out there. Every post is “dugg” or rated by members and the highest rated make it to the main site. Check it out. If you are or become a member you can check out all the stuff I’ve dugg by looking up my profile under “mickdaddy” (I’m super original with ALL my online profiles).
Next: some sweet pics of bees
This site features insect photography. Craziest thing is that this guy made a rig for his camera that when set off by an insect’s movement it auto takes a picture of it. Super-macro pics of bees and such in flight. Pretty cool.
Third: Wallpapers
Some pretty cool wallpapers for your desktop
Fourthly: Google Talk
Google just released their new instant messenger program. Its free, has a clean design, and NO ADS! Doesn’t have a lot of the extra features like AOL’s does but give it time. I highly reccommend downloading this one. The more people who download it and use it now, the more likely they are to add those extra features as well as continue to push for interoperability with AIM, MSN, and Yahoo clients.
Fifth: Sweet Panoramas
Site collecting some sweet panoramic photography
Sixth: Shark v. Octopus
Video of a shark being taken out by an octopus. Pretty cool.
Finally: OpenOffice 2.0
Get it! Stop buying new upgrades for Microsoft Office and use this great, FREE alternative. Has programs that create spreadsheets, word documents, slide show presentations, and databases. The programs are all compatible with Microsoft documents and will save them to the same file type so all your friends and colleauges still using expensive Microsoft software can view your files.
That’s it for now. Read, link up, and share.
