Pikachu, iContact you!

iContact

iContact is a lightweight Windows XP/Vista application that lets you import your Gmail contacts to your desktop. So if you don't have Excel and can't open an exported CSV file, this will work perfectly.

By clicking on a contact's name, it will start up your email software of choice as it should. It also brings down photos, Skype information, and address information to look people and places up on Google Maps.

Neato.

The developers plan on allowing you to bring in more contacts down the pike, like your poor lost MSN and Yahoo! souls.

You simply put in your Gmail login/password and it syncs up in seconds. Search for contacts and set it to open on Windows startup and it'll get your latest and greatest webgirlfriends or boyfriends contact info.

It's free, and it gets the job done if you want to keep your Gmail contacts safe on any one of your 59 computers.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
