There are lots of sites out there that let you share your files on the internet but filedropper.com seem to have got it right by making file sharing very simple.

Go to there site, click on ‘Upload’, and select your file. Once the file been uploaded , you are presented with a simple link (URL) which you can send out. You also get the HTML code to embed on your blog or Facebook page.

Bravo!

Lots and lots of websites let you watch user generated movies (YouTube, GoogleVideo, Vimeo) and now there are sites that specialise in providing TV series and documentaries. Hulu is one of the bigger ones with vision.tv and blip.tv right around the corner.

The other night I spent a bit of time changing the Simpla theme (which is superb in its own right) to something a little more colourful and well purplemass like!

I’m not 100% sure about it. Would appreciate your comments.

Think I’ll spend some time this weekend getting the colours of text & headers right.

This is from a very good site on photography.

Photoshop might have made it easy to create faked photographs, but you don’t need fancy editing skills to manipulate the truth. Photographers have been faking images almost as long as they’ve been making them simply by setting up shots that look natural.

Here’s the link.

A list of best sites of 2008 from kottke.org.

I haven’t gone through all of these yet. So far my favourites are the scary ‘Big Dog’ robot and the skateboarding video directed by Spike Jonze.

Check these out here.

This video is totally amazing – has to be seen to be believed!
