Postcard.fm: photo + song + friend = postcard!
Postcard.fm is a brilliantly simple idea: choose a photo, choose a song, and send them to a friend as a "postcard." The interface is totally free of frills and junk, making it incredibly easy to use. There's no way anybody could confuse this with the totally obnoxious animated postcards your mom or grandma email you. Plus, it's all hosted at Postcard.fm, so you won't be filling up your friend's inbox with files.
A few obvious uses for postcard.fm spring to mind: it's more thoughtful than a Facebook wall message for a friend's birthday, and it might even go over well as a surprise for a significant other. In a pinch, you can use it to share a song with a friend, if you don't have somewhere else to upload. There are some limitations, but they're not a big deal: it's mp3-only and just streaming, no downloads. The best part is that postcard.fm isn't at all ugly or tacky, so it's as considerate a way as we've seen to quickly show someone you're thinking of them via the Internet.

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 ...

I love minimalist websites and this one is perfect. The privacy policy looks great also.
