Sasami Multimedia Player Trying to replace WMP as a very slick looking player with lots of extra features. So far, it's got a 10-band equalizer, subtitles, and the ability to player movies as your desktop wallpaper. For anyone who hasn't seen this feature on an ATI All-In-Wonder card, it's REALLY cool!

Lan Party Tools
This is a major must for lan party geeks. How awesome would it be to tote your computer and monitor around with just one trip to the car. Woohoo!!

Buy Jenny some Boobs
Nice idea, use a website to build revenue so you can get a boob job. The site uses flash buttons and has a cheesy beat going on the whole time you visit it. Don't know what to say....

Wolfenstein Returns
Activistion is making a comeback with the original 3d game Wolfenstien. WOOHOOO!!!!

Direct Connect This is a cool new files-swapping utility that's sorta a cross between Napster and IRC. It's organized into hubs that then specialize on certain topics (basically guilds). What makes this system cool is that hubs can deny you entry if you're not sharing the required amount of files (Ex. 2GB min.) or allowing at least a certain number of simultaneous downloads. Theoretically, this should weed out the leeches.

Mass Dialing 911
Virus in email that is read on Japanese phones can cause the phone to mass dial '110' Which is the equivalent of dialing 911 in the states. It seems there are about 24 million customers of the japanese mobile phone company. That would be really cool to implement in the states, But you don't make it call 911 instead you make it call the whitehouse.

New Webserver
Not an exciting title but its a cool app. This new company allows you to share files on your computer by creating a web server. Now your thinking, "So What". Well the coolness lies in what it does. Its allows you to share files like Excel and Word documents but instead of letting the user download them, they can read them online in HTML format. They can also do searchs on what files are available and what not. I kinda like the idea of this.

Rent new games online
Ya, your probably thinking another Red Octane. Nope this one is different. Imagine lets say Quake 8 comes out and you don't want to buy it and you don't have a crack for the demo. This company lets you rent it but you rent it online meaning you don't have to have it shipped to you. You play the game on their servers using some buffer application. Its basically a subscription based blockbuster online. But its for computer games.

Oxford adds d'oh
This is freakin cool. The Oxford Dictionary is adding DOH to their new and improved edition.

http://www.srl.org/ -- Survival Research Laboratories

These guys were the Battle Bots before Battle Bots. They've been building giant killer robots, flamethrowers, a 10-barrel shotgun, and other cool stuff since the late 1970's! This is a huge site, with pics, videos, articles, and tons of stuff about them. This is what happens when California eccentricity is mixed with heavy weapons.

2001-06-13T11:29:00.000-07:00

BackLane.org A link site for getting all those cool old PC games you grew up on. It seems that these old games (some as late as the mid-90s), now called Abandoned Warez, are free to trade openly online. Cool.
Now you can make a collection of all the games you drooled over but didn't have enough lawn-mowing/babysitting money to buy.

Total Recorder Another one to get before it's gone. Total Recorder positions itself between the last software to touch an audio stream and the sound card. Translation: ANY sound you hear out of your computer can be recorded. There is NO way to block this program from recording. Get this before it's sued into oblivion.

ASF Stream Recorder -- Exactly as the name says. Get it before it's gone.

Police Dispatch mp3 - Recordings of Police Dispatch from the 1997 North Hollywood Shoot-out, where two guys in heavy bodyarmor and automatic weapons robbed a bank and then shot it out with LAPD for 42 minutes. I've seen the video, and I think listening to this is more tense.

New Worm on the loose. It detects if you have child porn on your computer. Well I don't agree with Child porn but I don't want any worms infecting my computer cause some dumbass has me in their outlook address book. Its called NOPED. It scans your hard drives and I do mean plural cause it checks and then if it finds files with specific names that match a list of none child porn files it will then send an email if a match is found and report you and your email address to the Gov't. This sucks ass.

Its a sad week in the hacker world. Attrition.org is closing their doors when it comes to website defacement linking. They will no longer save old defacements and defacement lists cause they don't have the man power to do it. About 500 - 1000 defacements occur a day now cause of script kiddies and whatnots. Too bad, they rocked!!!!

http://www.networkadvertising.org/ -- Finally, good cookies... This site lets you "opt-out" of advertising tracking. I'll believe it when I see it.

But... It actually did make 7 cookies with OPT-OUT in each of them. Maybe the advertising industry is starting to realize that they're bugging the living shit outta us.

Flaming Text -- ...nothing to do with San Francisco... I guess this is the follow-up to CoolText. It's got all the same features that the late, great CoolText did, plus lots of fonts, clipart, backgrounds, etc... Worth a look.

Here's a site for people using Messiah, a character and movement add-on pack for Lightwave. This particular page is a gallery of some of the movies people made. Watch some of these, and then realize that these are done on someone's desktop and slapped together in their spare time. Damn!
Check out F8... that's my favorite. It's in divx format, and you might just have to play it a few times; my jaw was on the floor:

Alright, there are just too many hilarious Flash cartoon sites out there to not make a list:

Camp Chaos -- The pioneers of Flash cartoons, and creators of "Napster Baaaaaaaadd!". In short, a classic.

BoneLand -- "Weapons of Mass Distraction", an offshoot of Camp Chaos.

Joe Cartoon -- Famous for the Frog in the Blender and other fun cruelties.

KillFrog.com -- About on par with Joe Cartoon, and similarly twisted.

Mondo Mini-Show -- A little slow, but still pretty funny:

That's my list so far... post yours here.
