Send Holiday Cards – via Facebook?
For several years now, I’ve sent e-cards to most of the people on my Christmas list. Although I love the e-cards created by Hallmark and Blue Mountain, I’ve always tried to create something that could be included in an email message.

The Changing Face of Entertainment
Except for Alton Brown on the Food Channel and Mythbusters, about the only broadcast shows I watch on television these days are news shows. Why? There are so many options, why should I sit through some mediocre show just to have something to do. First, we dumped all the premium movie channels and set up a subscription to Netflix. It’s cheaper, we choose exactly what we want, and the turn-around time is very quick. They also offer unlimited viewing from their collection of streaming movies and shows. A $100 Roku box lets us watch any of those programs on our televisions. We also have acces

Google Maps Property Lines
Am I the last one to notice that Google Maps has included plats on their map view? You won’t see it on the broad views, but as you close in tighter, you’ll see the property lines included on the maps. Granted these are current property lines, but this still could be a very handy tool supporting property research. Related posts:Making Maps with Google

LibraryThing Offers Local Search
I’m a big fan of LibraryThing and now there’s even more reason to love it! They recently introduced a new feature giving local bookstores the ability to include their inventory in the LibraryThing system so when you search for a book you can see if one of your local sellers has it. The local section also includes maps showing their locations, provides for posting local events and gives you the opportunity to connect with other LibraryThing users in your area. Stop by LibraryThing and check out your “local scene”. You might be pleasantly surprised. Related
