Party planning with MyPunchbowl

mypunchbowl party planningI'm sure a lot of you had holiday parties over the last few weeks. How did your planning go? You could surely have used the new MyPunchbowl service. MyPunchbowl is set to launch its online party planning service on January 15th. Built by Punchbowl Software, it allows users to create an online community for celebrations. Members can use the service before, during and after parties to coordinate events, research ideas from the community, and share party memories after the event.

Unfortunately I was not in on the beta testing for the service, and it is now closed awaiting the January 15th launch. So we will have to stay tuned to check out the how well this service helps us party plan. Similar services in this sector include Evite.com, Eventful, and Upcoming.org.

Google Docs to be unleashed Wednesday?

google docsGoogle is rumored to be preparing to release a new online service called Google Docs. The new service will integrate, and possibly merge, Google Spreadsheets and Writely. This move, which could be announced at the Office 2.0 conference tomorrow, slowly expands the online productivity suite that Google is working on. With this additional step, Google forges ahead in the online office space environment.

Another rumbling about a release at Office 2.0 is Zoho Virtual Office. In this latest release, Zoho packages all of its services together, which can include up to 10. The service is said to be free for individuals and $9.95 for business users.

Google has to get its suite of software organized and bundled, before Zoho takes the lead with its extremely promising online productivity software, just take a look at the demo. Stay tuned for what unfolds.

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.
