Coffee for Techies

Okay, don't read about Meatball Sundaes and then rush right into this post. Everyone knows coffee and meatballs are also a terrible combination. Pause. Okay, now read on.

Okay, this is not so technical, but this is great coffee and I know you late night techies drink coffee. So you owe it to yourself to buy a bag of this stuff and see what you think. We need to support the "little guys" right? Well, this is a great little coffee business delivering the goods. "Fresh" to these guys is withing hours, not days. I know, hard to believe but it ain't hard to swallow, trust me.  I have never tasted smoother more delicious decaf like the decaf Brown serves up - try decaf Columbia and you will agree! And of course the leaded selections are divine as well. I can also vouch for Guatemala after weeks of enjoyment. Give it a try!

Save a Tree

I found a great green service today that is easy to use and makes a big difference in the number of trees we waste. I don't know about you but I get tons of catalogs that I never order from and barely even peruse. Catalog Choice is a site that allows you to quickly cruise through the catalogs you possibly receive, select the ones you don't want to receive any more and stop their delivery! How great is that? All in one place - no finding the phone number for each catalog, waiting on hold and finally getting your name removed. This company as of now, has deleted 5,059,377 catalogs from snail mail boxes, and counting. Three cheers for a practical, easy to use green site.

Your Blog, Your Book, Your Christmas Gift Idea

This site is well designed and offers a great product at a great price. Blurb seems too easy to be true. You download the free bookmaking software called Booksmart, upload your blog or other photos and text and create your own book file. Then, Blurb creates the book for you and mails it to you at near Border's prices. I am going to try it and let you know how easy it really is, so check back. If you have tried this service successfully, please write me and let me know about your experience. I am a sucker for great design, so I fear that even if it is too good to be true I will recommend this site because it is such a great use of web development tools. Cheers to a fresh Christmas gift idea!

New Online Publication for Internet Marketing Geeks

Came across http://www.emarketingandcommerce.com/about today - looks like a great new publication for internet marketers. It is published by the North American Publishing Company, the same people that do the Target Markteting magazine. They are looking for article ideas and provide a path to the editor on their site to submit an article. Here is the link to her email address: mcampanelli(a)napco(dot) com.

Keep Track of Tech Toys - Stuffbak

Stuffbak.com has it going on. This service enables you to put an indentifying sticker on your expensive items (like cell phones, cameras, kid's bookbags). If you lose one of these items the finder goes to stuffbak.com and types in your number and finds you. There is an award offered so the finder is incented to find you. This gives me piece of mind about my cell phone being lost and is inexpensive and easy to use.

www.stuffbak.com tells you more about this great service.
