Thesixtyone.com
thesixtyone.com (T61) is the latest addiction with not just me but the rest of the geeks in Hawaii. At last Thursday’s Manoa Geek meet I demo’d T61. It works as a game that you play with your friends. The best way I can describe T61 is the stock market meets music. Get points, spend points, make points. Check it out, and make sure to add me as a reference. My username of course JPhilipson. See you there!
Trapster.com
I’ve told this idea to a lot of people and I am SO glad that someone has decided to do it. The way I envisioned it was using something like twitter to let people know about traffic situations and more importantly where speed traps are located.
There is a ktlink here in Hawaii that displays HPD’s traffic reports so if you’re about to make a trip you can quickly check for traffic accidents or congestions.
However, using trapster you can report and get reports on current speed traps. What I most like about this feature is that you can use Jott.com to actually phone in where those sneaking cops are hiding.
So I hope that helps! I’ve signed up and will be checking it out for a little bit.
Chipin

Got a Clothing Design in Mind?
Ever come up with a good T-Shirt design or something funny? I was talking to my good friend Justin. We were talking about the woes of working with incompetent co-employees when he suggested throwing some of them off the roof to make a point. Then I began to think. They should make bracelets that say “What Would Sun Tzu Do?” I think it’d kind of funny.
Well, if you’ve ever had an idea but never did anything with it, now is your chance.
Glubble: Parental Control in Firefox
Glubble: Parental Control in Firefox
Glubble is a very impressive browser plugin that adds parental controls to Firefox. Glubble transforms Firefox into a locked down environment where kids can only surf approved sites, while parents can easily log into a restriction-free account for normal web surfing.
Glubble also re-skins Firefox with a simple and appealing kid-friendly look while logged into a child account. The browser under Glubble is a completely controlled environment, meaning all of your bookmarks and most of your other plugins are hidden while logged into a child account some plugins, like Flash for example, will still work — a good thing considering how many childrens sites utilize Flash.

GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones
GrandCentral: The New Way to Use Your Phones
Grandcentral.com was recently acquired by Google. I was also given an invite and decided to start playing with it. This is definitely something that I want to start using. Basically Grandcentral.com gives you a phone number of your choice. This phone then connects any and all of your phones together. For instance, my mom is either at home or out and about with her cell phone. I can try both separately but if she had Grandcentral I could call one number and it would ring both phones.
Grandcentral has TONS of features as well.
Here’s a list:
Screen Callers
Know who’s calling and screen unknown callers
ListenIn
Hear why someone is calling before taking the call
Call Record
Record calls on the fly and access recordings online
Block Callers
Unwanted callers won’t be able to reach you anymore
Notifications
Receive voicemail notifications via email or SMS
WebCall Button
Let people call you from a web page without showing your number
CallSwitch

Click2Call
Call from your addressbook and save your typing
Mobile Access

RingShare
Go beyond the ring and choose ringback tones for your callers
So. Here is my ‘Web Call Button’ Try it out.

Google Releases 3D Warehouse and Sketch Up
3D Warehouse is where users can submit 3D models of anything. Why would Google ever want to get into this? Remember, Google is getting into everything. They will one day rule the world. So you need a 3D model. Download it. They also provide a free 3D modeling program called “Sketch Up”. I’m definitely excited about this because I was recently going to get back into 3D modeling in Lightwave but I think I am going to just do this. Also, I just learned that Adobe has released a plug-in for Photoshop CS3
