Keep all your RSS Feed in one place with Wizz RSS

I've had the problem where I can't get an RSS feed to display as a live bookmark
I don't want to have to go to a seperate website to view them. Wizz RSS fixes this problem pretty well.

A Firefox add-on, Wizz RSS searches for feeds and all you have to do click and drag it into the Wizz RSS tab. This is pretty handy.
Try it out! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/424

Dedicated Fan paints the Master Chief

Today I was looking around on the Internet when on Youtube I saw this video of the Master Chief being painted with an airbrush. This isn't just some slapped together stick figure art either. The attention to detail is simply astounding. It's pretty big too, measuring at 36 inches x 44 inches.

The best part is that very soon it's going up for sale. Instantly images of setting this up on my mantle place come to mind. This is one of many paintings he's made including Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. I highly suggest checking out this up and coming artist.


Here's the video, I wish I could do this.

SpiralFrog provides Unlimited Free Music. Is it any good?

There are quite a few music distribution services. First there are the ones like iTunes, charging per track. Next are the steaming music websites. These suck because the music can only be played though your browser and the quality varies based on the speed of your bandwidth. Last are the unlimited download music services that charge a monthly fee.

SpiralFrog.com is a unlimited music distribution service that doesn't have a monthly fee. SpiralFrog makes money off of ads and referrals to Amazon.com, (If an album is not available for download)not for songs. You can download as much as you want for 30 days. The songs are encoded in DRM so they stop working after that (unless you renew). After the month ends, all you have to do to keep going is renew you membership. Just fill out a survey and then you got another month, it's pretty easy! Everything will be extended by 1 month.

Around 800,000 different songs are available in 21 different genres. Including, Rock, R& B, Hip-hop, Classical, and Electronica. A large selection of music videos are also present in those same genres and yes, they have DRM encoding too.


Signing up is easy just provide a E-mail, Password, Nickname, and Zip Code. (I haven't received any junk mail....yet.) From there just install the free software and you're all set. Songs will be downloaded into a directory you specify.

There are some annoying things. For example: Although you can set up a download list, you can't just set it and forget it. You have to click download for EACH SONG. This isn't so bad if your downloading a few songs but, it gets tedious when you trying to grab an entire album. Also if you prefer to take your songs on the go, each track can only be copied to er... two different MP3 devices. CD burning is out as the DRM prevents that, unfortunately.

All in all it's awesome for a free service. Every music fan owes it to themselves to check it out.

Gametap giving away PSPs for referring five friends

Gametap is giving away a free PSP to anyone who signs up for the 99 cents for the first month deal and then referrers five friends who then buy two months of Gametap gold subscription, the first for 99 cents and the second for $10.

This is pretty good if the stars can align and you can convince five friends to sign up. So really the only way this would work out is if you know 5 people who already want to subscribe. You can learn more here.
