I just heard about a new online tool recently called Springpad. It allows you to quickly organize and share a variety of bits and pieces of information that you collect throughout the day that are important to you and put them into defined structure and places.

The other benefit of Springpad is that it harnesses the power of the social networking world and allows you to interact with and share your collections of data with those that are important to you too.
I would say the power of Springpad doesn’t rely in it’s ability to collect your information though, it’s more …read more

My wife shared a link with me this evening that looks pretty interesting. It’s a coupon and discount site called Groupon, but it’s more than just coupons. It’s a marketing tool as well and the idea is to swarm a location or establishment with business. What company wouldn’t want that kind of attention?!

With coupons, you did like I did tonight and save a few bucks on a variety of different grocery items. Groupon let’s you save real money on some really great stuff that you’d like to do, but you didn’t want to spend the full price on it to …read more

It’s that time of year again. Fantasy Football time! I’ve got two drafts going on right now. Which is not helpful because I have plenty of other stuff I’m also working on as well! It looks like this year is going to be another stretched out season for me.

Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Football

I’m sure it’s going to be quite a bit to keep up with. I know last year I couldn’t remember what player I had …read more

It’s finally happened. I’ve installed an application that I really hadn’t expected to install ever! Due to the regular comments from a good friend, (it’s all your fault Neil!) I’ve joined the ranks for Facebook Farmers of America (FFA). We’ll probably have to get a different color than purple for our corduroy jackets.

It really reminds me of the old game I used to play called SimFarm by Maxis Games. In fact, I’d say some of the code is probably reused for Farm Town.
If you’re not familiar with the game you have a farm that has different plots of land …read more
