Go old school, send postal letters with email using Postful

send postal emailsLet's take a step back in time, no wait lets just stay in the present...

Email, post, email, post. Who's kidding who, why would we dream about sending a letter in the post and have to pay for postage when we can just send an email? How much do stamps cost nowadays anyways? And where exactly is the closest postal outlet? It seems like there is no sense in arguing over the fact that email is the best communication method these days, why would we ever think about sending a letter through the postal service? But, what about if you didn't have email?

Posful is betting on the fact that many people still don't use email, (apparently 65 million Americans) and that we know people who can't receive any. So the team at Posful has come up with a solution to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. Send an email to a special unique address with the subject line as the mailing address, and its gets outputted into a printed piece and mailed out at the other end. Total cost, $.99 for one page full color, printing, mailing and postage included.

It seems like a great offering if you have connections that don't have an email address. By taking the trip down to the postal office right out of your task list it ensures you don't neglect those sitting at home without a connection to the World Wide Web.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
