Using Gmail to...

If you're interested in finding out some interesting uses of Gmail then check out this article.

It'll show you how to use Gmail as a to-do list (together with filters), search through your favorite RSS feeds, use Gmail to find torrent files, use Gmail as a Notepad (actually now it can even be more like Word since they have rich-text editing capabilities), use Gmail as a spam filter, and use Gmail as storage for a photo gallery.

Save My Ass

Guess what Save My Ass is about?
Survival techniques?
What to do if a bear attacks you or if you are stranded on a deserted island after falling off a cruise ship?

Guess again...
Save My Ass is a personal assistant that helps you make your girlfriend or wife happy by sending her flowers on your behalf, on a regular but semi-random basis.

You can schedule flowers for all obligatory dates she expects and you'll score major points by making deliveries she doesn't expect.

Don't you just love the Internet?

Here's a list of some excellent Firefox extensions for web developers.

I discovered a few extensions there that seem invaluable (I haven't checked them all yet): View Rendered Source, View Formatted Source, MeasureIt, and of course the must-have Web Developer Toolbar (that's I've been using for quite a while now).

Automatic Door

Some Japanese guys developed a new sliding door that automatically opens according to the shape of the person who is passing through it (in order to minimize the size of the door opening).
I guess the idea is to keep out dust and save on air-conditioning.

Check out this video of it.
