Top 10 Flickr Hacks

Flickr Leech
I have a Flickr account, and I take plenty of photos, but I find myself not using it as much as I feel I ought to. Maybe Thomas Hawk's list of Top 10 Hacks on Flickr will help remedy that. It's a round-up of tricks, scripts, and sites that make Flickr more pleasurable to use, and though I'd seen some of them already, several of them were pleasant surprises. His #1 Flickr "hack" is Flickr Leech. Its tagline is "because paging sucks," and what it does is shows you all of the thumbnails for any user, photoset, or pool all at once. Very refreshing. That's just the tip of the iceberg--Hawk also points out some great Greasemonkey scripts, some web (and desktop) apps, and more for your Flickr enjoyment.

30 Boxes: Best web-based calendar ever?

30 Boxes

30 Boxes is a next-generation web-based calendar that'll be hitting beta later this week. I'm not very excitable when it comes to web-based calendards, even the new breed of AJAXy ones, but blogger Thomas Hawk got in on an early demo (along with a few other Web 2.0 notables like Matt Mullenweg and Andy Baio) and declared: "Best... Calendar... EVER!" In his long review, Hawk calls 30 Boxes "one of the most exciting social network tools I've seen in a long time and reiterates Om Malik's sentiment that it "will be to calendars what GMail was to email." It sounds like 30 Boxes has hit all the right buttons, and I must say after reading Hawk's review I'm pretty sold, though there's no word yet on whether it's going to be a free service or require a subscription.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
