Can't wait for Vista?  Here is an interesting utility called Visual Task Tips that provides a preview for items on the task bar.  I've just installed it and it seems to work sweet!

YouSendIt is a web site that allows you to send large files to anyone without using email.  It's easy to use, no need to register and can use SSL if you are sending private information.  It has some other solutions in the same product range that allow you to send photo albums (really just a collection of files).

Here is how it works:

  1. Choose who you want to send a file to. It can be anyone with an email address. You can specify multiple email addresses separated by commas.
  2. Select a file to send. You can send photos, audio, documents or anything else. Your file will be stored by YouSendIt without ever filling up your recipient's mailbox.
  3. Click on the Send button. YouSendIt will automatically email your recipient a link to your file stored on our server. Your file will be deleted after 7 days or 25 downloads, whichever occurs first.

The great thing about this site is that it is completely free and does not require registration.  God knows how they make any money.  Maybe they just use the information in the files for extortion -- After all they must see some pretty funny stuff pass by.

amaztype is a nifty little utility that uses the amazon web services to generate a word made up of amazon items.  Can’t think of a use for it but a really original use of the amazon web services.  Check it out here…
