Psychiatric med student Michelle's story

Michelle the medical student I don't know why but I felt very compelled to just read one comic after the other. Can't tell if this Michelle actually exists in reality but I'll imagine so anyway. She tells the story of her unexpected work experience at a psychiatric ward as a third-year medical student.

Don't miss this. It's cute and positively inspiring.

Make your own 3-D pictures

Make your own 3-D pictures All you need is a photo and Photoshop. Obviously you need a pair of 3-D glasses. Where do you get hold of a pair? Well, next time a pair is included in a popular science magazine or something, I'll buy the magazine just to get the glasses.

Anyway, this NASA JPL article explains how to do the Photoshop bit. It doesn't look very hard to do. First I just need to get a pair of glasses.

Paper Wars

Paper Wars One of the best flash animations I've seen in a long time. Not only is it cute and clever but the actions by the drawn figures is very smooth and natural. This guy who did this deserves a job at Pixar or something just because of this animation.

Have a look! It's only two minutes long. If you can afford the time, this Max Payne flash animation ain't too bad either but lacks the simplicity that impressed me so much about Paper Wars.

Now I have a Gmail account

Gmail I was invited by my friend David Otton and I've just had a quick look at it and the little I've seen looks very promising. The big question mark for me is: POP! I've already got a POP account that I use for all my other email and I want to keep using it. How do I read my POP3 email in Gmail? Would be great if I can set it up to have one copy of an unread email in Gmail and one in my POP3 account.

Before I've been using @pen Webmail which was pretty good because when I went to it it fetch my unread mail (once) and left them on the server. Then when I come home to my home PC I get the those emails again but this time they're deleted from the POP3 server. So the webmail becomes an extra copy.

I know there are solutions (read hacks) to make your Gmail look like a POP3 account but that's not what I want. When will they support reading from POP3 accounts (and IMAP too maybe) but only when I tell it to and without deleting them from the server.

Truncated! Read the rest by clicking the link below.

Underwater MP3 player

Underwater MP3 player An MP3 player you can use under when swimming and diving. I don't understand how the headphones work but I bet you must loose some of the sound quality.

This has a far reaching implication on our lives. Diving is typical for being soundless. That's why you need the body language that divers have worked out. Now, this simple technology marks an end to that. The price: $649.95 (~£350)
