Randomness

It has been a long time since I blogged, but I have found a few nice web sites and cool applications...

• Somehow I had missed Chickipedia- an invaluable resource!
  
• Want to learn more about the periodic table? Check out the Periodic Table of Videos! 
  
• There is a great, free online money management program over at Mint.  It takes a little faith to enter your account logins and passwords but it gives as much info as Microsoft Money.
  
• Xobni (inbox spelled backwards) is a free program for Outlook that indexes (FAST searches!)  and provides some interesting statistics...
  
• Last but not least is Carbonite- a PC-to-offsite backup solution (via the web) that costs $50/year- for unlimited offsite storage! (so how much are your digital pictures worth?)

I may have mentioned before that I order a Popcorn Hour PH100- I have been planning to write a review, but I have been distracted by Spore and The Force Unleashed!

in addition I upgraded (?) my 8800GT SLI setup for a GTX260 card (and a new power supply); I will try to post info on the speed differences as well...
