Farmville, hmmm
Jan 27th
A few days ago I started playing Farmville on partially request by some friends at work. The game is cool, but its getting to a point now where I start to think its to much mouse clicking. I might put some more time into playing another game called Runaway; The dream of the turtle which is great 
Cities XL
Jan 26th
I just started playing a demo of Cities XL after discovering this game on the Steampowered site. A really cool game if your a fan of Sim City. This one is very similar to Sim City in my opinion and the best part is that you can play online with other players and trade with them. I will try the demo for a few days more before I order the full version

Hosting videos on your site
Jan 27th
I was registering at Fliqz.com the other day, a video hosting service. Its actually pretty sweet cause they host your video files up to 300MB and the basic account is free. I signed up and after a short registration process I was ready to host videos on my site. First I went through a few steps to customize my video player with its own startup wallpaper and logo, I could also include a watermark on the movie and a ending screen with logo. The watermark is clickable so you can link it to your site. There are also other plans if you want to pay that gives you even more customization options. You can check out the site at www.fliqz.com and my own videoplayer for Librarium Online.

Drink with chill factor
Sep 22nd
Drinks giant Coca-Cola has invented a bottle that chills on the inside when the top is twisted off.
Insiders have hinted that the technology will feature in a new drink called Sprite Super Chilled, which could reach the UK by next year.
The bottles do away with the need to add ice, which dilutes the liquid – but they must be put in a special vending machine to regulate temperature.
Bosses at the US firm hope to cash in on the “super chilled” drinks trend.
Coke and Diet Coke could be packaged in the new bottles if they prove to be successful.
