Songerize is the "I'm Feeling Lucky" of Online Music [Streaming Media]
Songerize is a dead-simple interface for quickly playing streaming music, and it's destined to become a quick-fix addiction for music fans. Type in a song name, then the artist you think performs it, and hit "Play." If Songerize can find the song, it plays it in an embedded Flash device. If not, try another song. Described as the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button for the more full-featured streaming music search site SeeqPod, Songerize is the perfect tool for clarifying misheard lyrics, quickly playing a song for a friend, or just listening to music one track at a time. Songerize found 8 of 10 songs I threw at it this morning, and I mixed it about halfway between big radio hits and indie hip-hop and rock. Nifty. To get even more out of SeeqPod, download-wise, check out Songbeat.
Coming Soon: Depositing Checks at Home by Scanner [Software]
USAA, the bank that serves the armed forces, has done this for awhile, but it hasn't picked up beyond there. Although the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act has made this possible, and half of all business checks are deposited this way already, the system still needs to be safeguarded against fraud before it can really reach mainstream adoption rates. Interesting, but I'd guess the majority of Gizmodo readers use paypal or World of Warcraft gold pieces instead of ye old checkbook. [NYT Bits]

Email Based File Conversion - Supports PDF, DOC, DOCX, MP3, etc.
To use any of these email based file conversion services, just send your files (like DOCX, PDF, MP3, etc) as email attachments to the address of the conversion service and they’ll send back files in converted formats almost instantly.
1. mp3@koolwire.com - Convert WAV to MP3 format (file limit: 10 MB)
2. iPhone@pdfonline.com - Convert Microsoft Visio (VSD) and Word 2007 (DOCX) to PDF. You can send multiple file formats in the same email and the converted PDF documents will arrive in separate emails. Don’t get confused by the iphone word in the email address, it works just fine for the desktop and other wireless devices.
3. pdf@koolwire.com - Convert DOC, XLS or PPT files to PDF
4. doc@koolwire.com - Convert PDF to Word or RTF
5. wav@koolwire.com - Convert MP3 Songs to WAV files
The PDFOnline service support all Microsoft Office formats including the latest DOCX format but the file has to be less than 1 MB. You can use the Koolwire email conversion service to convert files as large as 10 MB.
These services are especially handy if your mobile phone doesn’t offer file viewer for particular formats - like a BlackBerry cannot read Visio or Docx formats.
