Your fave MySpace photos delivered to your desktop

If you have Windows Vista on your pc, here's a way you can have your favourite snowboard photos on your desktop.

There is a widget for the Vista SideBar that you can download from here:

MySpace Image Viewer

If you enter the ID number of someone's profile on MySpace e.g. a pro snowboarder or your favourite magazine, you can get all their public MySpace photos delivered direct to your desktop in a scrolling gallery.

All you do is install the gadget, click on it's tools icon and enter the ID of a MySpace profile. For example my fave snowboard mag is White Lines. Their MySpace profile url is:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=112011604

So you would enter 112011604.

Respect peoples' privacy if they have an obviously low key profile. Not all pros like to be public figures but many want to promote their photos and even invite comments.

Be your own camera man HeRo style

Heikki Sorsa and Eero Ettala demonstrate what camera phones were invented for.

Heikki and Eero filmed this themselves on their mobiles! Watch out for the hand-off at the end.



The boys at White Lines have a longer version of this video which is even better:

Now that's what I call a Good Friday

Method.tv to webcast the Burton US Open competition LIVE over the Easter Weekend!

Better than an Easter Egg, Method European snowboard magazine will be webcasting the final of the US Open LIVE from Stratton Vermont.

It all kicks off at 4pm (Central European Time) on Good Friday, March 21st and continues Saturday. So that's about 3pm in the UK by my reckoning. On the other hand I suppose you could always watch Countdown.
