I've always liked OPERA as a browser. Now OPERA UNITE according to the developer, is a unique technology that turns any computer or device running Opera into a Web server. In other words, your computer (running Opera Unite) is truly part of the fabric of the Web, rather than just interacting with it, and it’s something anyone can use. With Opera Unite, everyday non-technical users can serve and share content and services directly from their own computers in the form of intuitive applications. That sounds kind of cool from a technology point of view, but what can you do with it, and why is it important? With Opera Unite, developers are given a chance to develop applications (known as Opera Unite services) that directly link people’s personal computers together, so that you can connect with one or more of your friends at the same time. It all happens through the browser, so no additional software has to be downloaded, and it will work wherever Opera works (Windows, Mac, Linux, and later mobile phones and other devices). Opera provides the platform and you provide the applications—what you create is limited only by your imagination. We believe Opera Unite will redefine what’s possible with Web applications, and we invite you to join us in moving beyond stale ideas and limitations". It's free. Check it out!

Another share of one of my MP3s. I set up a new one once a week and give you seven days to check it out. After that it will be gone and replaced by a new selection. Please don't link to this. Just click on the link and save it. Until I can make some money and buy some, if you get the message BANDWIDTH exceeded, just try again tomorrow. For this week:

Sattalites
"Reggaefication"
or you can try here too!

Back in 2005 I shared "Born For You" from the SATTALITES. They are Toronto's reggae septet. A Canadian group, you probably never heard of, but they have been around for a long time and this song from the 2003 release of the album "Reggaefication" is one my favorites. It is the title song this time. They can be found all around Toronto, if you look, including TVO's Studio 2, where I first saw them. They are worth a listen.

For this week’s Friday Fun you can try the fun and challenging game called Cargo Bridge from Limexgames. The goal is to build bridges between different valleys to allow the workers finish various tasks. You need to build a bridge between the valleys so the workers can finish their jobs. So the first thing to do is survey the terrain, move the mouse cursor to the left side of the screen to scroll further over. Go back into design mode to start sketching your bridge design using wood blocks and connectors. Keep an eye on the funds in the bank while building. During the design process you can go back and test the design with your workers. If the test doesn’t work you can go back to the design board and start again. A successful design allows you progress to more challenging levels and adds funds to the bank for better materials. Progress is saved automatically which makes it easy to start where you left off. There are a few setting you can change such as the image quality and sound. If you are looking for a way to bring challenging fun to break up the monotony of the daily grind check out Cargo Bridge.
Play Cargo Bridge.

Dave Matthews Band
"Spaceman"
or you can try here too!

The Dave Matthews Band just released a brand new album callled 'Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King". It debuted number one on the Billboard 200 in the first week. It is really not a surprise since this is a fantastic issue and really shows how the band has recoverd from the tragic loss of LeRoi Moore. I love everything on this one, but I think my favorite is "Shake Me Like A Monkey". You will have to buy the album to hear that one. Today I am sharing another track called "Spaceman" . Be sure to check out this Wiki for more info. Hope you enjoy my share and you check out this new album.
