Firefox will soon release version 3 that makes this already better than the rest browser even better.

Help to make this memorable by joining in Download Day 2008: a world record attempt at the most downloads ever of a single file on a day.

Great game: fun and educational as well. Have a try at being the US president and balance the US budget.

I did well myself: I wiped out the US national debt, achieved budget balance, revived the economy, while beeing a green and health & wellness champion at the same time. And it was surprisingly easy: just a 10% cut in the ridiculous US defense budget, raising the taxes to a much more sensible level and taxing polution for us Europeans gave me loads of money to invest in nice stuff. And it did not even kill the economy, it even revived the economy.

So try for yourself.

The waiting is over: the (at least by me) highly anticipated Julia Marcell Sellaband album, 'It Might Like You' has just been released for digital download. The first three tracks are free, the whole album is just a US$ 3.50 download. Go here for the downloads.

Physical album sales will start later, but you can pre-order here.

A new gallery with photo's from our trip to New York from 28 April to 4 May 2008 is now online.

A bunch of retro games... but then somewhat different, they all have been sabotaged.

One of my favourite fantasy book cycles is Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth cycle. So it is exciting news that the first book, 'Wizard's First Rule', will be adapted to a TV miniseries, of 22 episodes no less. So can't wait to fall this year.

See the announcement on the official webpage of Terry Goodkind.

Sweeet! It was already possible of course to find all the South Park episodes online, but now you can watch all episodes on an official site of the makers.

(makes me look back to the days of Sweet.com and Parkwars.com, both sites long gone, but luckily we have the Internet Archive Wayback Machine).

An amazing new artists at Sellaband: Ellie Williams.

Ellie is storming the Sellaband charts right now, just listen and you know why.

UPDATE: In an amazing race Ellie Williams made 50k in 50 days and became the 18th Sellaband recording artist! So now the wait is for the doubtless great album.

Yay! I am finally in the record business, very exciting to see the first CD I help financing through Sellaband come through.

The album itself will go on sale at 25 February, but you can already pre-order this CD at Amazon.co.uk. You can also already buy the album as digital download for the bargain price of US$ 3.50. The first three tracks are even free for download.

So go check this great CD, download your free tracks and buy the CD!

Very nice flash game.

At Sellaband there is now a great competition going on that gets everybody in the Christmas spirit: the Christmas song competition. Check out the Sellaband Christmas Playlist for excellent Christmas music.

An overview of all the entries can also be found here.

Nice anthology of the most infuential online videos of all time. Of course with every top 10 you have lots of reasons to disagree (for example, the Numa Numa song is not in, neither the two most frequently visited videos on my weblog: Chinese/Japanese T-shirt folding and the Egg song), but the list brought lots of good memories anyway.

And yeez, was Jennicam really already 11 years ago? Remember it very well, I am getting old.
