Family Guy returns.. [ot]

Dwayne pointed me to this story.

What is IMHO the "BEST and FUNNIEST" animated show ( yes even better then The Simpsons ), Family Guy may be coming back! USA Today has the story.

Hey Avalon guys..
I'm going to be able to do this with Avalon right? *note:* this is an MP4 encoded video so you'll need Quicktime/Real Player.

Amazon Research
Doing a quick test with the Research Pane in Office 2k3 and came across this on Gadgetopia:

Amazon.com Research Services for Microsoft Office System: No more research for creating bibliographies or footnotes.

The Amazon Research Pane download for Microsoft Office 2003 allows you to search for Amazon products from within Microsoft Word or Excel documents, and to insert product information and footnotes into documents and spreadsheets.

The Amazon API will take over the world one day.

Appforge Crossfire

Check this out. Appforge, creators of MobileVB a product that lets you code applications in VB to be run on PALM, Symbian, Nokia phones will be releasing there new product line called Crossfire. Crossfire will allow developers to write .Net applications and have them run on the above mentioned systems! How great is this? There are by far more Symbian, Nokia, PalmOS based phones out there then Smartphone based ones and now my app will be able to target them also. Having spent some time with MobileVB I expect some good things from these guys.

“With Crossfire, .NET Framework-based applications can be distributed on the leading mobile and wireless devices,” said John Montgomery, director of the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. “By supporting Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Framework, AppForge will enhance the developer experience for the mobile and wireless industry.”

I've talked a bit about how much I hate developing for other phones in Java and this maybe the way I can avoid having todo that.
