(Forward: If I were to talk about what I've been doing lately, I'd bore you all to tears. I'm thinking about recoding all those little stories of my life I tell people when we're getting to know each other. Know what I mean? Like the drug deal that went bad in Bolivia, or that crack whore in Phoenix who turned out to be my ninth grade art teacher.)

Gizmo Project is a VoIP (voice over IP) app similar to Skype. The two main differences that come to mind are that Gizmo has a recording fuction built into it and it uses an open standard VoIP (called SIP if you're interested) so it's compatible with other hardware and software that also use it.

Recently, they've made it possible to place international calls to landlines and mobile phones in selected countries for free. Of course there's a catch, but it's reasonable. The person you want to call needs to download Gizmo, create a user profile and enter their landline or mobile phone number into their profile. After that, they don't need to use Gizmo at all.

Although I haven't tried it yet, but I assume it'll work, I can't think of anything stopping me from creating a Gizmo account on my parents' behalf so I can call them for free.

What a brillant marketing strategy. They've made the first 24 min. of "A Scanner Darkly" available as a streaming video. More than anything it shows they have confidence in the movie. I hope this is the beginning of a new trend that leads to less piracy for them and less wasted time and money on lousy movies for us.

No matter how fun it might look in all those viral videos, don't try to shoot bottle rockets out of your ass. Once the beers wear off, it really, really hurts.
