Lifehacker

Lifehacker is a great site with all kinds of really useful info, i.e. "hacks for your life". Not all of the posts are tech related, either.

Phone Fun: Here's a free demo service where you can type a short message and a phone number (US or Canada) and it will call them and read them the message. That's pretty neat in itself, but the demo has a pretty short message limitation.

What's better is that you can spoof the caller ID so it appears that the call is from someone else. You can also pick which voice you want to use. The best for me seemed to be #0 and #3 for female and #4 for male, but try it on yourself to see what you like.

Gmail Groups: Gmail is great, but the addressbook doesn't support groups. If you routinely mail out a newsletter to the same 30 people, you don't want to type their addresses every time. Here's an addressbook trick to get around it.

And let me know if anyone still needs a Gmail invite to get an account. Posted by Chris on 9/16/2005 01:40:00 PM :: Permalink
