Adventures with new technology

This morning I learned about this neat site: clipmarks.com. You have to download the application (takes less than a minute), but then you can quickly capture web information (text, videos, photos, etc) and store it somewhere. This would be a great thing to have when you're writing papers and working with lots of web sources. Yeah, you've bookmarked them, but what about when you want to find that one paragraph that you really wanted. Well, you can clipmark it! Check it out!

To guide your netflix list, or trips to the local video rental

This past week, a tremendous online archive was launched. The Balcony Archive contains 5,000+ streaming videos of movie reviews by famed Chicago film critics Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, and Gene Siskel. I'm not going to lie, I'm a tad biased promoting this, because I am a huge fan of Ebert and many of my favorite films today were seen on his recommendation, but it is clearly an amazing resource on it's own.

So, what are you waiting for, check it out! You can search for their reviews of movies starring your favorite actor, by your favorite director, or by the movie's title.
