One of the things that put late night talk show host Conan O'Brien on the map was a segment where he'd take a picture of someone's face and superimpose another person's talking mouth over it. It was creepy, it was awkward, and now you can do it too with a service called Mashface. To make your own horrific creation, you pick from one of the ready-made photos of celebrities and politicians. For now you're limited ...

Anti-Globalism sends word that MySpace flipped the switch on its online, ad-supported, DRM-free music service that will "... give its roughly 120 million users free access to hundreds of thousands of songs from the world's largest recording labels. Unlike much of the material at Apple's iTunes store, the music sold through MySpace's new service won't contain the protections that limit how many times a track can be copied. MySpace is hoping to set itself apart ...

Social dating site WooMe has launched a new video service that is so amazingly hard to watch it's bound to be a hit. It's called WooMe.tv, and it takes recordings from the site's speed dates and hosts them for all to see. Not every video is available. Both users must opt in to have the session shared post-date, and only then does it go into the public directory. What makes it an attractive proposition is ...

Sorry, John. If you're one of those people who tries to grab his or her own preferred username on every new service that comes along, just in case the service becomes hot one day and you want to start using that cool ID, check out this new tool: Usernamecheck. All it does is ask you for a user name, and then pings about 45 services so it can return to you "taken" or "available" for ...

Spåren förskräcker ... eller nå´tIf a name is taken, it can't tell you if the owner of it is you or someone else (how would it know?), and there's as yet no way to add new sites for it to check--you have to wait for the developer to add them. Also, it's slow. And it doesn't appear to work on anything but Firefox.But this is a useful tool for managing one's personal brand. And here's a tip for parents-to-be: Run your baby names through it, as well as through BustAName. Your kid might thank you.

Google has put out a cool update to its book search service that lets anyone embed entire books, or just book previews on their site. While aimed mainly at online retailers and educational institutes, it's also a great way to drop entire public domain works onto your blog in case you want to give your visitors something more exciting to flip through than your latest ramblings. The news comes alongside some partnerships including A1Books, Books-A-Million, ...

When you talk you aren’t just communicating with your words. In fact, you are communicating with your whole body. According to research done by Albert Mehrabian, currently Professor Emeritus of psychology at UCLA, words are only 7 percent of your communication. The rest is your voice tonality (38 percent) and your body language at 55 percent. These numbers may vary depending upon the topic, situation and how something is communicated (for instance, talking over the ...

Aside from the fact that writing is an inescapable part of every day life, there are many good reasons you should make a good session ...

Though we enjoy a lot of the food fresh from the garden, we preserve most of it for later. I’m fortunate that Kris loves to can, and so we enjoy the fruits of our labor year-round.

Heaps of sweat, commitment and even dollars, for a less than desirable return. I’m constantly getting letters, emails and phone calls from frustrated exercisers, so I figure it is time to take a look at why time ...
