Google Voice for Blackberry and Android

Google has announced Google Voice clients for Blackberry and Android platforms. Great stuff.

I've installed it on my Curve, and it seems to work great, allowing me to call contacts and have my GV number appear on caller ID. You can also access your voicemail from the app.

An iPhone version is rumored to be coming.

Now to actually figure out how to leverage Voice properly.

We Choose the Moon

"We choose to do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

Tomorrow morning (16 July) marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11. In five days (20 July), we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of these immortal words, "Houston, the Eagle has landed."

This web site is an incredible tool to relive that adventure. Take your kids, pull up a browser and relive one of the most famous space missions in 'real time'. This site will take you back 40 years and let you see the mission unfold as it did for those watching it then.

The site is nicely laid out, and includes widgets for your desktop (using Adobe AIR), Facebook, and MySpace. You can also follow the 'astronauts' and 'mission control' on twitter - though the widgets do that for you.

After the landing on 20 July, the site will let you navigate through the mission at your own pace.
