Upcoming.org Redesigns, Merges With Yahoo Accounts, Gives Stuff Away
On the redesign side of the news, the new look is cleaner, faster to load, and introduces a whole new way of browsing events which centers around more specific metro's and integrated maps. The new interface is overall more media driven, and resembles in a way the recent Facebook redesign.
In addition to the most obvious changes mentioned above, Upcoming.org is no longer actually upcoming.org, but upcoming.yahoo.com.
Update: Apparently the updates were not unannounced; they were posted on the official blog multiple times. They did not, however, send an email notice to users in the same way Flickr did.

Party planning with MyPunchbowl
I'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.

to think of PC games you ought to be looking forward to in the next nine months, head over to the GameSpot forums where
user AdrianWerner posted (albeit a couple months ago) an enormous list of "promising" games due
in 2006. "Promising" is by his own reckoning, taking into account their developers' previous
games.There's something like 200 games on his list, with a screenshot for each (but unfortunately no links—you'll
have to Google them yourself). Of course, not all of these will see the light of day this year as planned, but you're
bound to find something there to get excited about. Especially if you really, really like war games.[Via Digg]
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, ...
