solar powered lights

those little lights that are all over the place have come a long way in the past years. found a website that has a whole bunch of them - i enjoy the floating alligator head that has eyes that light up at night. check out some solar lights.

An interesting way to use these lights, would be to place them in "for sale" sign posts. That way, when mom and pop are driving down the road they would see the real estate sign illuminated by the solar powered light. good idea, no?

Red River: Post Flood

Thought I would follow up the post from a while ago with some video of the Red River now, in it's relatively low state. Note - where i am standing was under 20 some feet of water in previous pictures, and in the distance of one of the shots you can see the dike where I stood before.

passport photos

If you've ever bought passport photos for yourself you know what a drag it is. Interesting new site gives them away for free.

iCall - Another facit to Free VOIP

Another company has entered the realm of free VOIP, and they could prove useful. Unlike Skype and AOL Phoneline, iCall currently offers free incoming and outgoing calls to the US and Canada. The system works like this. Outgoing calls are straightforward, you dial and you are connected to the other person. Incoming calls are processed through a system of access numbers throughout the United States. Thereby your friends can call a local access number, enter your 5 digit extension and get directly connected to you – without any ads or rigmarole. This could be very useful if you needed to give a local number to someone in both San Francisco and New York, you could! What’s more is that if you are not online or you don’t answer, the caller is forwarded to free customizable voice mail. I am pretty pleased with the setup and the program overall. Having all the free features in one place is very attractive.

PayPerPost

This is a controversial new service that pays bloggers to blog about a certain subject. Honestly it isn't all that revolutionary, journalists have been paid to write about a certain topic for years. Now it's just the average soccer mom can pump a certain dishwasher detergent on her own blog and get paid. Overall, it's a pretty neat idea - the perfect product placement. That being the case, I truly doubt this will change the face of blogging. People have brains, they can still tell the difference between ad copy and real opinions.
