MediaPortal is an amazing and free media center for your PC. You are given the ability to watch TV, listen to the radio or your own music, view pictures and movies, get the weather forcast. You can also launch games, browsers, email clients, and other external programs. Burn CD’s, view Recipes, set alarms… okay the list goes on and on. I recommend taking a look at this if you are interested in having a PC Media Center. Excellent.

“MediaPortal turns your PC in a very advanced Multi-Media Center / HTPC.
It allows you to listen to your favorite music & radio, watch your video’s and DVD’s, view, schedule and record live TV and much more. You get Media Portal for free/nothing/nada/nopes and best of all it is opensource. This means anyone can help developing Media Portal or tweak it for their own needs!”

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
