Send your name to the moon

NASA is allowing anyone to send their name to the moon aboard the next lunar mission. A little geeky I know but kind of cool as well. Check it out at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/main/index.html

Sent my name:

Adobe TV

Adobe announced Adobe TV (http://tv.adobe.com) No matter what your adobe vice is, you should be able to find something of interest. I poked around a little pretty cool stuff. Surely worth a visit.

Google Trends

I remember playing around with google trends awhile back. Penny sent me an email this evening trying to figure out what keywords would be better for a site she was working on, and I remembered about google trends. Basically the way it works is you separate the keywords you want to trend using commas. Google returns the trends (search volume) for those keywords and gives you a nice little graph.

A couple I was playing around with

boy, girl

cat, dog

big, little

I know these are irrelevant just some interesting information.

Indesign Tetris plug-in

Play Tetris in Adobe Indesign, download the plug-in from http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=ttin

FCP Rescue

I discovered this very cool little Final Cut Pro utility called FCP Rescue. This neat little app makes it super simple to backup and restore your FCP prefs, of course you can do it manually; but this makes it so much simpler.

Yelp

I discovered a very cool website, yelp.com. It is a user driven service review site (ie. restaurants, shopping, clubs) I see it as web 2.0 at its greatest everyone has a voice, and hopefully vendors of these services will start to realize and strive for excellent customer service. Below is my Yelp Badge I only entered a few reviews so far.  Damon Ledet's Yelp

Joost

I finally got my invite for Joost. Joost is a new technology I was able to check out at the Web 2.0 Expo last month. Joost is a pretty cool way to watch television over the internet. It is by invitation only right now but should be out of Beta soon enough, defiantly a technology to keep an eye on.

Adobe Kuler

I was poking around adobe labs today and for this really cool flash based color theme builder. It has been up since November, but I just happened upon it today. Check out http://kuler.adobe.com.
