Google … Mars?
Mar 12th
Google adds one more thing to their long list of projects, … Google Mars. Google Mars, is quite similar to Google Moon, it takes Googles Maps Interface and combines it with images and information about the “Red Planet”, Mars. I must say it contains a fare amount of information, linked with locations, such as Spacecraft Locations, Mountains, Canyons, Craters, and Stories about Mars. If you have some time, go see for yourself.
New MGC Theme, Marble

MyGamerCard.net has added a new theme, Marble. It comes in a variety of colors, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Teal, and Yellow. Check this post to see how to use it. Keep it up Morgon.
MyGamerCard.net Last Game Played Theme
Feb 22nd
MyGamerCard.net has added a new feature for their supporters, that adds a background to their gamercard based on the last game played. (See Left) This feature is awsome, unfortunately they have closed the supporters program to the public. I am a proud supporter of “MyGamerCard.net”. Go checkout my GamerCard Bookmarklet Generator, or my Halo 2 Stats Bookmarklet Generator.
Google Toolbar v4 Beta
Feb 22nd
Google has released the beta of their fourth generation toolbar. It contains many new features such including plug-ins, a send to menu allowing you to send the current page to Blogger, SMS or Gmail. Unfortunatly this toolbar is only available for Internet Explorer. Get the Google Toolbar v4 Beta.
Effective Brand Toolbars
Feb 19th
Effective Brand a company I found about a year and a half ago, which allows you to make your own community toolbar. Effective Brand really stands out from the competition, though i’ve yet to find any, with all the features you could want and the ease and simplicity that is often hard to find. I would highly recommend Effective Brand to anyone who needs a custom toolbar.
In Loving Memory of Max
Feb 14th
My dog Max died early yesterday morning he would have been 14 years old on May 5th. He was a standard schnauzer who had been through many misfortunes. We all miss him very much.

Gmail adds browser based Talk
Feb 12th
Google’s email solution, Gmail, adds the ability to Chat with other Gmail users right from your web browser. Google says that Chat will not include the ability to send or receive calls, so there is still a reason for the Google Talk Application.
Brush Fire! Update
Feb 6th
It appears I may have spoken too soon about the condition of the fire. The Wind has picked up and is now pushing the fire westward. I will continue to update the situation here for as long as possible, though I may have to shutdown the server for a period of time if required to evacuate. So far every thing seems to be okay.
