Vox has a mobile site and publishing clients

I have to just come out and admit it: I've gone kookoo for Vox, Six Apart's step-ahead blogging platform and social networking service. They have done a better job than nearly any service I've seen (and believe me; we get our hands on just about everything web 2.0 here at DLS) at making it dead-easy to add audio, books, pictures and video to your posts from sites like YouTube, Flickr and Amazon.
Not content to making users sit in front of their computer all day, however, it looks as though Six Apart answered Jordan's request from back in August and released their mobile publishing client for Vox in a big way, and they even have a mobile site for staying on top of what's going on in your Neighborhood. I honestly don't know how long either of these have been around; I just noticed them while trawling their help files for goodies.
The mobile site is surprisingly functional, offering access to the QotD (Question of the Day), posts and media from your neighborhood, as well as a good portion of your administrative dashboard. The stand-alone mobile client for publishing - available for Windows Mobile 5, Palm OS and Series 60 1st/2nd Edition - is equally impressive. You have access to your phone's media and tools and the ability to customize just about every aspect of your posts; tags, visibility, the whole nine yards.
These two Vox goodies are impressive cross-platform offerings for such a new service (just recently out of beta), and I'm already getting even more hooked on Vox while away from my Mac. Thanks a lot, Six Apart.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
