The idea is simple — you embed few line of codes and you’ll be able to play flash games with anyone who visits your blog or web page. Just register in Bunchball.com, pick your game and get the code for embedding in your blog or web page.

Embeded flash app hosted in Bunchball.com is not limited to games only. For instance there’s a flash radio in Bunchball.com that enables you to share streaming MP3s (you have to host the file elsewhere). I noticed that most of the flash games found in Bunchball were created by Neave and some other flash apps were created primarily by Bunchball developer, Rajat Paharia. Flash game developers can also create and share their own games using the full ActionScript API which makes deployment of existing games possible to their multi-player platform.

I have embeded a tetris clone here in my blog. Let’s play N-blox.

If you are using Netvibes to read RSS feeds you will be able to view and play the flash game too.

Fresh from oven, a new service from Switzerland called CoComment allows you to track your blog comments in one place. It’s going to be popular with bloggers. It makes tracking comments so much easier because you only have to look in one centralized place.

You have to get an invite in order to test it right now. I’m lucky to be invited soon after I have read about CoComment in TechCrunch. I’m not sure if you’ll easily get an invite right now. More and more bloggers want to get an invitation.

CoComment requires a bookmarklet in your browser to fetch the comment you are about to post in a blog. I doubt that you can track your comments no matter where you make them because not all blog softwares are supported yet. Here are the supported blogs at the moment: Blogger.com, MSN Spaces, MySpaces, TypePad, Wordpress and Xanga. More blog softwares will be eventually supported by CoComment. Click here if you you don’t know what bookmarklet is. CoComment supports Firefox 1.x, Safari 2.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0.

Using the bookmarklet, a copy of your comment is addded to “Your Conversations” page on CoComment. You’ll now be able to review the comments made by all CoComment user in other blogs you have commented. Currently only CoComment users’ comments will appearr in “Your Conversations”. Comments made by people not user CoComment will not be recorded by CoComment. In the future, there will be advance blog integration tool that will enable all comments from your blog to be crawled and indexed by CoComment even if the commenters are not using CoComment.

If you find this intesting you shoould read the concept behind CoComment written by Laurent Haug.

This is going to be one of my favorite blog tool!

I found this link from del.icio.us. Old school gamers should all know Super Mario Brothers. Who would miss the good old Nintendo Famicom anyway.

If you ever want to get the soundtrack of Super Mario Brothers and its sound effects then head to this flash site. Running the background music and hitting the sound effects create an illusion of the gameplay. You’ll feel nostalgic.

I’m really surprised this morning when my groupmates in thesis namely Frederick and Jeremiah were wearing red. Hmmm… we didn’t make any special arrangement but we were all wearing red. Even Glenn who was seating next to us in Cisco lab was wearing a red jacket. Then I saw Jed, who was working on the student module of our thesis, was also wearing a red jacket. Even Edison was wearing red! W00t! So everyone who attended the meating last night was wearing red even though we didn’t plan on what to wear today. What a coincidence. Everyone was joking about it as if we really planned it. Whatever is the reason perhaps we should celebrate since we’re all in red.

I just arrived at home from Makati… Quite amazing how I’m able to keep up even though it’s too late. Caffeine works like charm.

We were waiting for Edison, our project coordinator, as early as 6 PM but he was caught in heavy traffic so we waited until 7:50 PM. We ate our dinner fast and headed to Starbuck Alfaro where we held our group meeting. We still managed to pull some string and had the initial database plan done even though we started late. I thought we couldn’t get a decent place to discuss our project because when we entered Starbucks there weren’t any good seats available. The coffee shop was crowded but we spotted a table at the back. It’s somewhat confined and separated from the rest of the Starbucks seats; however, there were two foreign students who occupied the table before us. We kindly asked if we could share the table and it was okay with them. I think they were Korean. I couldn’t recognize any single word they spoke so they definitely weren’t Japanese or Chinese. They stayed at the table corner until 11 PM, studying and cuddling, so we only had a chance to take over the whole table for one hour.

All of us brought our laptops which really amused me. Everyone’s mobile. It seems to be the trend in our school now. Or it is just because of our thesis that most students opt for mobility? It’s logical to take your stuffs anywhere you go so that you can do something whenever you like to.

Anyway, I ordered my Coffee Jelly Frappuccino during our group dynamics and I could still feel its effect hence I’m still up. Trivia: Don’t you know that there are 77 Starbucks branches in Metro Manila alone? Makati is on top of the list with 28 branches.

It feels like the effect of Frappucino is wearing off soon… so, I’m off to bed now. Zzz…
