On this saturday morning, I’m sipping my coffee and sniffing around other peoples blog looking for gems.

The first gem I found is candy. It’s a little puzzle game named Shift I found on Le techno-blogue à Steph! (the game’s in english, but this excellent blog’s in french). It reminds me the Prince of Persia days on my old i8086 with my CGA 4 color screen. Nostalgia! Nonetheless, the reverting action is kind of hard on the brain.

Also, yesterday, something incredible happened to me. Really amazing, and it was about time. Not, not an haircut, but I’m working hard on that one. My cell phone service provider, Fido, now offers unlimited traffic, that is. Now, I only need a YouTube client and I can kiss Videotron’s traffic limit good bye! Just kidding.

Which brings me to a pretty cool application I’ve found a while back on Product Review: WidSets. This is basically a widget platform built on Java MidP2, thus compatible with most smart phones running Symbian, Windows Mobile etc. It runs great on my Nokia E61, but I didn’t have to chance to try it on other phones (nope, I’m part of the iPhone sect yet).

How it works : you open the widget (let’s say TechCrunch), read the actual article (some only contains the abstract), and send an email or add a bookmark if you like it. When you get home, or at the office, you login to your WidSets on a computer, then you can review your bookmark.

Many cool widgets are available:

• TechCrunch
• Digg
• Wikipedia
• AccuWeather
• Many YouTube lists (but they suck, as you can’t see any video)
• News York Times
• BBC News
• ABC News
• Technorati
• Twitter
• Flickr

… and much more.

So that’s all for now folks. I now need to finish this coffee in a few gulps and do some AJAX prototyping. Enjoy your week end!
