The Internet can provide a wealth of knowledge these days, but sometimes I find that the news can get a little jumbled. Like searching YouTube for videos relating to the presidential election — although you can sort by when videos were uploaded (today, this week, or this month) things are still out of order and shown by how many views, not by latest video uploaded. I want up-to-the-minute results!
Which is why I think this latest YouTube mashup is pretty cool. Brought to us by Dipity, TimeTube lets you check out uploaded videos on a timeline so you never miss a beat. You can search any subject under the sun and TimeTube will show you videos dating back up to 500 years! Did YouTube exist back then? I didn't think so.
If you aren't the most astute home decorator — especially when it comes to picking out color — you aren't alone. A friend of mine can't even decide on which new Nano color she wants without her hands getting all sweaty! If accent colors and complementary shades leave you in a fetal position in Home Depot's paint section, fret not. ColorBlender is here to save you.
Unlike other color-picking sites where you have to actually make a decision about what color you want in your palette, ColorBlender makes it easy by using their red, green, and blue color sliders to provide you with a nice six color blend. These are the tools that will help you either choose your new paint color, or select your accent colors to perfection. It really is a time-saver, and it's all automatic! Plus, you can email or save the blend for easy access. I'll never have another breakdown in Ikea's pillow department again.

As part of the Life Moves campaign, SanDisk is holding a massive contest on YouTube with incredible prizes. The SanDisk Point & Shoot Film Festival is an online video contest to find and display the most compelling user-generated videos taken on consumer point and shoot digital cameras. Entrants may upload their videos for free by visiting http://youtube.com/sandisk. Film festival contest entries will be considered in the following five categories: Kids, Pets, Dance, Action, and Comedy. The top 200 entrants to the contest will receive a SanDisk Ultra® II 4GB2 SDHC™ card, allowing them to easily capture more video using their digital point and shoot camera. The best video entrant in each category will be awarded $1,000, and the overall grand prize for the best video will receive $10,000 (including the $1,000 category prize) and a trip to Las Vegas. But hurry because the contest ends Nov. 10, 2008. Good luck!
I have an election night ritual: I settle in from work into some cozy pants and slippers, get on the couch, and eat an easy dinner in front of the TV. This year, I will be in front of the TV, but I'll be dividing my time between it and my laptop to watch the election results come in.
Prior to this, I always waited patiently for my newscasters to update me with the latest info, but now with the Internet's reach, I can know the latest as soon as the talking heads do. Like I said, I plan on getting my election coverage from the tube as well as my computer, but are you planning on watching primarily from your TV or the Internet?
Oh man, I feel like we've been told four different dates on this release. But I can finally say, you can go get a hot new BlackBerry Bold today! — CrunchGear

I know, election, election, election. . . but I can't help it, it's kind of a big deal! Ever wonder how a president is actually elected?
