I stumbleupon an interesting site called GetMooh that make automatic calls at your specified time, recording, and phone number. It’s FREE!

Getmooh is an automated call back service. It is designed to help you escape a variety of situations by calling you automatically on your phone at a pre-specified time and playing you a recording which will either instruct you on what to say to elude your tormentor(s), or which will simply give a convincing sense of you being on an important call.

The website suggests that you use the service to escape unwanted date or meeting by making an automated call to yourself. I think it is nice to use it sending birthday greetings to friends. They will be surprised.

I seldom recommend two column WordPress theme, but the Web 2 Wannabe is a nice one. It is a two column WordPress theme with round corners. Very clean and sleek design. The main theme color is green.

Please note that Web 2 Wannabe wordpress theme is not released under the GPL license. A link-back to the designer’s website is required.

Download Web 2 Wannabe WordPress Theme or try the theme demo.

Global warming is getting serious in recent years. The global temperatures is increasing dramatically since 1980.

Google recently invited teachers and students to brainstorm strategies for combating global warming. Google picked the top 50 ideas and publish them on full-page ads in USA Today.

I like the idea of “Put light sensors in all office and school buildings so all lights go off when the rooms are empty.”

As computer user, how can you help?

CNET published a quick guide to the new file system of Windows Vista.

In the article, it introduces the new features of Windows Vista file system such as system wide file search, new Windows Explorer, file organization, file tagging, and virtual folders.

Overall, the new features are very powerful. But existing Windows XP uses might need to take some times to learn how to utilize the new features. I won’t be surprised if a user do not know where to find his/her files.

P.S. Apple’s Mac OS X has similar features years ago and it is simpler to use.
