CountDownr - Countdown counters, generic and from Google Calendar
SpeedyMarks - Visual bookmarks
WorldClockr - Animated world clocks with sunrise and sunset times
WorldWatchr - Webcams, radar, traffic, ...Don't miss the chance to add application shortcuts to your Windows desktop, start menu or quick launch. Just open the
menu and select Create application shortcuts.

How To: Turn your iPhone into a Digital Photo Frame
Just before Christmas it's almost impossible to oversee the digital photo frames in the shops. They work like standard photo frames but allow you show slideshows of your pictures and just one.
But did you know, if you own an Apple iPhone (or iPod Touch) you already have a device which you can turn into a photo frame while you are at home? The iPhone comes with a clear, bright and not to small display which makes it perfect to display your photos. There is only one change you will have to do:
That's it. It keeps the background light on all the time and doesn't put the phone to sleep. Now you can go to the Photos application and start a slideshow of your photos and there you have the digital photo frame. Of course you will want to put the iPhone into the dock or at least connect the cable to not use your battery.
The nice thing about using the iPhone as a photo frame is the built in internet connection. Means you are not restricted to your own photos on the phone but you can load and display content from the internet. Here are some ideas:
Of course you aren't restricted to photos at all:
This way your iPhone becomes a much better (but of course more expensive) digital photo frames than most devices you can buy today.

- Get photos from Picasa by running slideshows from Googles Mobile Picasa Webalbums
- Have a look around the world by watching webcams from WorldWatchr
Of course you aren't restricted to photos at all:
- Display the latest news by running an RSS reader.
- Don't miss new mails coming in.
- See world clocks from WorldClockr or countdowns from CountDownr.

New Project: CountDownr
Today I started my new project: CountDownr.
CountDownr is a little Ajax project which gives everybody his own collection of countdown counters. Each counter is customized to its own time and date when it goes off. There are two types of counters:
- Counters for a specific date and time. These counters can be repeated daily, weekly, monthly or yearly which advance automatically when the alert goes off. They are perfect for reminders on single events, lunchbreaks, weekends, paying your monthly bills or birthdays and holidays.
Example: Midnight
- Counters which read the upcoming events from public Google Calendars. Any public calendar can be the source for a counter. It advances automatically to the next event after each alert.
Example: Google Developer Calendar
