Here’s a nice old-house plan that I like. I’ll keep adding to this as I find some more.

Small laptop backpack (3 Comments) ()
Tuesday April 25th 2006, 9:34 pm in Travel, Work

It is nearly impossible to find a cool backpack designed for laptops that isn’t huge. I’ve narrowed it down to some, but most of them are still a bit larger than I like, fitting up to 15″ screens (mine is 10″). Another couple options that seem to be missed in the few bags that are getting in smaller size are a chest and/or waist strap so I can use this on the bike, and additional pockets that would allow for carrying around mail, papers, etc up to about 2″ thick. So it’s either super slim and small, or larger and thick.

Here’s the ones I’ve narrowed it down to:

This is a cool little program. Use the Java version to do it in a batch easily.

Note: I’m not saying you should steal music. Use this when you want to convert files you bought from, say iTunes into MP3 so you can burn them onto CD and listen to the MP3 CD in your car without needing your iPod.

Saw this while celebrating V’s birthday last night - what a cool idea. Way better than a free cupcake that many places give you.


Google is making me rich! (1 Comment) ()

I officially broke the $10/day mark on AdSense today! It was a whopping $13.48 so far. And, since I’ve upgraded one of my sites to have some payp-per-upgrade features I made another $3 on top of that. Plus, my banner advertising income too.

So it’s almost a $20 day for me. All for doing nothing. That is, if you don’t count the 3 years of work that it’s taken to get to this point….

Still - it’s a step in the right direction! Keep clicking, kiddies, keep clicking.

This house is super duper! It was just remodeled and only 1/2 block from the beach. If you’re going to stay in Seaside, Oregon and are looking for a nice house next to the beach, you should check these out. There is one large one and one small one to fit your family’s size - both are nice and clean. Check them out at Oregon Beach Houses for Rent
