anaface01

Have you ever wondered how you stack up? Just how beautiful are you, based on your face’s symmatry? Anaface lets you mark the features of your face with magical dots of measurement. The service than gives you a run down on your imperfections.

I scored an 8.82. Clearly this site knows what it’s talking about.

Robotize Me Turns You Into a Transformer

robotize-me

Used as a promotional device for the film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Robotize Me website allows you to take your face and plaster it in the face hole of a Transformer of your choice. I chose Bumblebee, but their are a variety to choose from over at the site.

This might be on the older side, but frankly, I don’t care. I hadn’t heard of it so there’s a good chance some of you haven’t either. Feel free to post links to your creations in the comments. Check out the original photo of me after the jump. My image is no longer mysterious!!! AHHH!

Hunch.com Launches

hunchimg

For the past hour, I’ve been playing with Hunch.com, a new online service created by Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake. You essentially ask the site questions, take a little survey and get the answers you want. I found it pretty interesting and answering the questions on the homepage helps others gain knowledge about you. One of the neat parts is that Hunch plans to offer an API in the near future, allowing for some wicked web mashups.

Hulu Launches Desktop App

huludesktopplayer

I love Hulu. Thanks to Hulu, my roommates and I were able to cancel our cable subscription and now watch all our favorite shows on Hulu, save for the HBO and Showtime stuff. Now, in an out-of-the-blue move, Hulu has released a desktop app that lets you watch shows without a web browser. But be warned! I just went to download it and don’t even own a computer fast enough to run the program. Check out these minimum requirements for Mac users:

Minimum requirements: Intel Pentium Core Duo 2.0GHz At least 2.0 GB of RAM Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger) or later 2 Mbps Internet connection Flash 9.0.124

The requirement is more or less the same for Windows users. Such a beastly app! If anyone with a brand new computer has the time to try this thing out, let us know how it is. It even has support for the Apple Remote!

Noby Noby Boy

Noby Noby Boy is the latest upcoming title from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi. It’ll be hitting the Playstation Network in early 2009 and most of us will buy it. Why? You’ll be stretching a colorful rainbow penis around in 3-D space for hours. Twirl it around, make it into a pretzel, whatever. Compete against people online to see who can stretch their penis the longest. Something like that. Either way, 1UP has a hands on preview you’ll want to read about for a better understanding.

Playstation Home To Launch Tomorrow

Sony has finally gone on the record to say that the long-awaited Playstation Home service will launch tomorrow in open beta form. This means anyone with a Playstation 3 and a broadband Internet connection will be able to sign up for the service, flinging themselves into Sony’s online virtual world. Sony suggests using a Bluetooth headset to add to the experience so you can speak with other people. You’ll be given an apartment and can do all kinds of activities from bowling to movies to billiards to social networking and more.

I’m really excited about installing Home and giving it a try. I’ll be sure to write up a small review once I’ve had enough time to play with it. Hit the link below for the official Sony Playstation blog; it has all the info you’ll need.
