Cool Stuff from Yahoo!
OK, I think I'm back. Hope everybody had/are having a good Christmas, Hanukkah, Saturnalia, Yule, Kwanzaa, Summer/Winter Solstice, Festivus, or whatever you happen to be into. We sure did.
In addition to the shopping, the eating, the hanging out with the kids, the eating, the giving/giving/opening of presents, and the eating, I've also made a point of spending a lot less time in front of the computer these last few weeks. And it's been fabulous!
But now that I'm back, there are a few things I thought I'd blog about in case anybody's interested.
First of all, I read today that Yahoo! is streaming TV shows now. You can watch two, commercial-free episodes of Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother. Here's the link to the CBS Comedy Bowl at Yahoo! I think you may have to be in the US or North American or something because I got a message that said the shows weren't available in my region. Bummer. :(
And speaking of Yahoo!, it looks like Yahoo! Domains is offering domain names for $2.99/yr. Sweet deal! You can get .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us domains, and they'll park it for free until you get a website organized for it. Cheap domain names at Yahoo!
And for one more (and the last in this entry, I promise) thing from Yahoo! is the Yahoo! Widget Engine. Download it (available for WinXP, Win2000, and Mac OS X 10.3 or newer) and you can add all sorts of groovy widgets to your desktop. Clocks, games, weather reports, news feeds, search tools, and more. There are literally thousands of widgets available. And they're free! So far I'm just using the analog clock and the picture frame that are included with the Widget Engine, but I've got a feeling it won't be long before I've added a lot more! Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.0
