Pocket protector: If you like portable video games as much as most trend-setting nerds, PortaGame.com is the blog for you, bucko. The site's team know that there's something magical about a tiny little machine that is so totally absorbing - they've no doubt experienced their fair share of Tetris comas. So what'll you get? How about the latest information on the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, various weirdo systems from Europe and Korea, plus underground buzz on the warez-iest developments in pirating technology from Hong Kong. Immerse yourself at www.portagame.com.

Targeting: If the army were made up of postal workers instead of soldiers, Zipdecode is how they'd fire the missiles. You have a pointillist map of the continental USA, and every digit you type shades in part of it - the more digits, the smaller the shaded area, until your completed five digital zip code gives you the exact location. Sounds complicated? It's easy. 90210 it up at http://acg.media.mit.edu/people/fry/zipdecode/.
