Power Challenge football

I was impressed (!) with this new online application (http://www.powerchallenge.com) that lets you play a 3D football game from your browser. The game is written in Java, and it has very decent graphics. It reminds me very much the EA sports FIFA 2000 game...


There are game rooms where you pick your opponent in real time (similar to Yahoo games, or MSN zone) and then the game starts. You can play absolutely for free at this point, and the top players have the chance to win prizes. It is amazing... give it a try!
For more details about this game look at this Techcrunch article.

Joost, P2P television

Today I downloaded Joost, the new p2p platform for watching TV channels online for free. The concept is similar to how Skype works, which means that most of the packet traffic is routed in a p2p fashion. The quality of the videos looks very good, and there are some interesting channels (my favorite is LX.tv).





To download Joost follow this link from GigaOM.

Creative projects..

This is a presentation of projects in a CS Stanford class from the previous quarter.. The demos are at least amazing (and those are just class projects, implemented in less than two months)..
