Here’s an AIM bot that will record a message for someone who isn’t on AIM. Kinda cool, but there’s not much technical information on the website that I can build from to make my own bots.

NoteServer

This is kind of like Yahoo’s directory, but seems to be a bit better because it is edited by thousands of volunteers and not just a few hundred people like Yahoo’s probably is. Correct me if I’m wrong.

ODP – Open Directory Project

The ESP Game is kind of interesting. It is similar to the game Taboo. You are given some images and you have to give a word or a few words describing the image. If you guess the same as your partner, you get to move on. But, you can’t see your partner’s guess. If Google could figure out how to get people to identify images like this, their image search would be much better.

Haha!

OMG! This software rocked my world for like half an hour. It is a fun text entry system that doesn’t involve a keyboard. You simply move the mouse towards letters you want to type. It also optimizes for commonly spelled words. So, this could be the future of cellphone text entry. Eyetracking and special needs uses are pretty interesting.

Doesn’t anyone value the sound, emotion, etc. of the human voice? What’s with text messaging? The only reason I do it is because it is cheaper, and they can read it later. It would be nice if when you called someone, it could just give you their away message. Oh wait, isn’t that what voicemail is? But, no one changes their voicemail…. dang.
