People Really Do Win Online
2008-06-01 06:40:00

Confessions Of An Internet Millionaire
2008-05-29 07:19:00

It’s not going to be an easy path; I’d be foolish to think otherwise, but it’s pretty interesting stuff ...

Catchya LaterLoop!
2008-05-25 06:34:00
I just found out about this slick service called LaterLoop. It’s a free and handy way to save things you find online and return to for later reading. I love the way it integrates with Firefox and I think you will, too. It’s a Firefox plugin that provides you with a way to easily mark something as an item of interest that it will save to your LaterLoop account. There are just two simple things you need to remember. Save your stuff When you want to save something, you can click on the icon provided in bottom-right corner of your Firefox browser. But there’s an even better way to do that by way of a keyboard shortcut. Find something you like? Just press CTRL+Spacebar and you’re done! If you have more than one tab open and you press CTRL+Spacebar+Spacebar, the information is saved AND the tab closes by itself. View your stuff When you’re ready to read the stuff you saved, you just right-click on that icon in the bottom-right and select “Your LaterLoo...

Free Text Editors That Fit Your Writing Habits
2008-05-22 07:37:00
There are a gazillion text editors available, which is amazing when you think about it. How much can you improve on a tool designed to enter text? Well, evidently a lot because I’ve seen one end of the spectrum that has the bare bones essentials and then the other end offering you all sorts of scratch-n-sniff options. I’ve found some nice choices for you to consider that I’d like to share with you, which are all FREE! Writer: A simple name with a simple interface. Pictured above, you can see that it’s distraction-free enabling you to just focus on your words. One of the things I look for in a text editor is word count and this one has it — and I don’t have to select the text first! I also like the choices of colors to make it easy on the eye. The toolbar lights up when you roll over it with your mouse, but then fades after a few seconds. You can also save your files online (create a free account), send the files in a number of ways (even to your W...

Reviewing Iron Man, The Movie

Hmm, I’ve been blogging for a few years now, and I don’t recall doing a review on a movie yet. But even if I have, I’m sure it has been a while. I just saw Iron Man yesterday and have to tell you, it was great! There aren’t too many movies I say that about, but ...

What Other Silly Activities Can We Come Up With?
2008-04-04 07:26:00
Give me a freakin’ break, I’m begging you! I saw a TV news magazine show last night that explained the world of Doga (pronounced just like yoga, but with a “d”). It’s a combination of yoga and…dogs. Seriously, I’m not making this up. This is April 4, not April 1. Puh-leez.

Drummin? Up Some Link Love #33
2008-03-17 00:14:00
Let’s start with a joke, shall we? Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the little girl was up to, he politely asked, “What are you up to there, Nancy?” “My goldfish died,” replied Nancy tearfully, without looking up, “and I’ve just buried him.”
