AccountKiller is an online service that makes it very easy to delete accounts that are no longer wanted. Some websites make it notoriously difficult to find the ‘Cancel account’ button, and in those cases AccountKiller is a time and sanity saver.
If a website does not allow you to cancel an account (surprisingly there are many famous one which do this), AccountKiller gives you tips on how to anonymize those accounts.
I like taking backups of important online assets, and my email account is one of the most important for me.
Here are the best Gmail backup tools I’ve come across so far.
A command line interface that is not the easiest to set up but works fine and is free. Download it from Gmvault.org and refer to my step-by-step guide to setting Gmvault up on a Mac.
A GUI app that is downloadable from the App Store and costs only $1.99. You can schedule backups and even backup from multiple accounts.

If you’re like me, you sometimes enjoy playing games alone, but still fancy the fun aspect of playing games with friends and family. I am not a big gamer anymore, although I do immerse myself in some retro classics every now and then. Mostly I like to play games with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, there aren’t many games that feature the so-called local co-op functionality, which allows you to have 2 players on the same game.
Here are my favorites, plus some resources where you can find out more about such 2 player+ games.
Fantastic game, we had a real blast going through this one. It has a perfect difficulty level, not too difficult most of the time, but frustratingly so at times, which is really great. The graphics are absolutely charming, as is the music. Definitely the best local co-op game for PC I’ve played till now.
Super Mario doesn’t need any introductions, it’s possibly the most famous classic game there is. What’s different in this one is, of course, the ability to play with two characters (Mario and Luigi) at the same time. Best of all, it’s free!

Finally, here’s an excellent infographic, which basically says that gaming is good for you! 🙂
