New Street Atlas USA 2007 Mapping Software

I have been using Delorme's Street Atlas for years now with my GPS unit and my laptop. It always works really nice and the number of GPS features that it has is really amazing. It popped into my head today that they should be updating their software soon because a new version is released just about every August. Sure enough they didn't let me down because Street Atlas 2007 is now out.

Google Image Labeler Fun

The latest news in the land of Google today is that they have released a "game" called Google Image Labeler.  Here's the deal, Google will randomly (in real time) select a partner for you.  You will start entering labels for images and when you and your partner have matched labels you get points and move on to a new image to label.  I tried it out for a few minutes and quite honestly, it was kinda fun! Of course I can think of some better things to do with my time on a Friday night but for a few minutes it was amusing and I actually got into it.

A few days ago when I wrote up an article on WinRoll "Nate The Great" commented with a few programs that he really likes. One of those programs was Launchy and I thought I'd give it a shot since it sounded useful.

You can't but help remember the name, "Remember The Milk." I'm sure we've all said something along the lines of "Remember ________" and without fail at sometime or another we've forgotten because we didn't write it down.
