As much as I dislike Microsoft, this does look pretty cool. The new Bing Silverlight app lets you make a custom little map. Ok Google, add this to Labs.

Don’t see Where the Wild Things Are – my review
Terrible.
Seriously, this surprised me. You see I like movies. A lot. I can usually find something that I like about a movie.
Nope. Not this time.
I would not recommend this at all. I usually rank movies as theater, dollar theater, redbox, or free. But this time is DONT WATCH.
I found the plot non existant. There was no moral lessons. The pace dragged. The dialogue dragged worse. There were a couple of cute moments that made me smile, and even one or two that made me laugh but overall, the movie flopped. I was worried about turning a 15 page children's book into a full length movie and it happened.
Some critics call it an "honest look at childhood", or "refreshingly free from commodity film components" but I just call it weird. You could argue it was art and it doesn't have to make sense but art is at least pleasing to look at. The film location was dry and colorless. Lots of shadows, dark branches and rocks. The only cool thing was the technical achievement of making the monsters face portray emotion but one technical achievement doesn't carry a film. (unless your Avatar and your technical achievement is going to change film)

Loved the cartoon. Even with my limited experience I can totally see how it is true. Came from a blog post over at http://www.conversationagent.com/2010/01/what-really-affects-behavior.html

Google is Not King (kind of)
I had an Information System class where we covered search. I thought oh great, I already know all these. The first one, Wolframalpha. I already had tried it out and wasn't impressed. I guess I wasn't asking the right questions. I was very impressed by the results. "Where am I?", "Internet users europe", and of course the standard math equations all are handled amazingly with Wolframalpha. This is the first time, since I found out about Google in like 9th grade that I have been more impressed with another search engines answers. Times are changing.

Unified Affiliate Program – VigLink
One of the common complaints with affiliate programs is that it takes a lot of work. Even if you are already linking to your favorite Amazon book, to benefit from that you need to sign up, be approved, install the link tracker etc.
A new company named VigLink seeks to make this a lot easier. They automatically scan your site for potential links and then automatically can set you up. They maintain accounts with all of the major affiliate programs meaning you don't have to.
They are pre-launch as of now, but you can still get a site report right now.
