SimpleBucket: Real Simple Photo Hosting
SimpleBucket is a promising new photo sharing site that has just emerged from a complete redesign and rebuild. The service is very promising, and offers a lot of nice features that might make it a big player in the days to come.
SimpleBucket's tagline reads "Real Simple Photo Hosting," and it shows. First off, SimpleBucket does not require registration. As in at all. Simply enter in any email address, select a photo (or number of photos) to upload, and away you go. HTML code for embedding your photo, a link to the photo page, and a link to the photo itself are all instantly generated.

If you worry that lack of registration means lack of options and customizability, don't. Each upload sends an email to the address you supplied with a link to the photo administrator page. That page will allow you to do a number of things:
SimpleBucket offers dead-easy sharing. You can share a photo via email, and SimpleBucket also has hooks into MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, and more.
One of SimpleBucket's nicer features is the ability to share a "photo widget"; that is, a photo complete with any notes that you (or other users) have added. This brings an exciting new level of interactivity to photos on the web.
While the uploading can use some streamlining (you're limited to 5 photos at a time, and you add photos by using an archaic Browse menu), the service itself is very fine.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
