I am testing out a new web browser called Flock. It is based on Firefox/Mozila so the bones are well tested and reliable. They are taking it to the next step and including some really cool features to take advantage of this blog-centric, social bookmarking, photo sharing sort of Web 2.0 world we are in. There is a very good review of it over at Solution Watch that can be found here:

So far I am just playing around with the blogging features (hence this post) and still need to get it configured a little (which means spending some time with it that I do not have) but I like it so far. It is not a publicly available browser yet but should be released soon. I will post my review shortly after that occurs.

Now this is the most retrolicious thing ever. The Flying Toasters screen saver, that most famous of screen savers, is back and better than ever. Surely you remember the flagship of the After Dark screen saver collections don’t you? Even if you don’t this is a geek must have for the new era. Available for Mac or PC. Get it while it is hot (pun intended).

The recently released Writeboard is now also available directly in your Backpack pages as announced here. Paying accounts can create unlimited Writeboards. This is the best five bucks I spend every month and to get this kind of added value is quite the bonus. I will be using this feature all of the time. Here is a quote from 37 Signals outlining this feature:

“Starting today, if you have a Backpack account, you’ll see a “Writeboards” tab in Backpack. This allows you to create writeboards inside Backpack. Plus, when you create writeboards inside Backpack, all those writeboards will be listed inside Backpack for easy retrieval. Further, you can import any writeboard into Backpack and even attach writeboards to any Backpack page via the new “writeboards” button at the top of every Backpack page. It’s pretty slick”
