This is one of the best adaptations of a console game I’ve seen in a while. Simplified to the point where anyone can play, and as equally addictive as the infamous Guitar Hero.
It’s called Up Beat, and will consume a good portion of your pre-long weekend energy. Take a break from work for a bit and test the accuracy and endurance of your thumb through pinky.
Nearly two months ago, we offered Joost invites to anyone that wanted one. Nearly 200 comments were posted and well over 100 invites were sent out.
My initial experience with Joost was interesting, and I was taken back by the hype. But I haven’t used it since then and don’t really care.
So I’m wondering, for anyone that got an invite…….do you use still Joost and how often?
All too often, usually right before we hit the “pay now” button, we find ourselves ransacking search engines hoping to find a coupon code saving us a few bones on that Threadless T, order of biz cards, domain name, or Text Link Ad. It’s usually hit and miss, and often times the search engines aren’t as relevant as we’d like.
Enter RetailMeNot. The search doesn’t get any easier, just type in the URL of the store you’re shopping at and boom, a list of all known codes and their success rate. Saving a $1.32 just got a whole lot easier.
I think quite a few young go getters would admit to having a bit of ADD to some degree. But how many of you would admit to being Yak Shavers?
From Wikipedia:
“Yak shaving is a neologism which describes the act of performing seemingly unrelated and often annoying tasks which stand in the way of an ultimate goal. Often these tasks stack up on each other, where one task becomes impossible due to some obstacle, which leads to another unrelated task, yet another obstacle, and so on.”
So, are you a Yak Shaver?
“Some people” doesn’t include Larry Page. Let me tell ya, if I had a helicopter, you’d be hard pressed to find it at a nerdcamp helipad :)

As some of you may know, one of the other websites I own is The Ad Feed. I’ve been working my ass off when I can, building the new version of the site and resurrecting it.
I had to collect some data a moment ago to get an idea of where I stand, and came across a listing on Get A Coder, from only a couple weeks after I launched the site. The title of the listing is “RSS Parser - Clone Of Theadfeed”
Had they looked at the footer of my site, they would have seen a link for the open-source, completely free, application that powers it, and saved the $100 or so they were looking to pay for cloning my popURLs clone. Surprisingly enough, I get an e-mail every other week or so from all over the world, asking if I could help them build a site like mine.
Oh well. Still feels good to see The Ad Feed being referenced as original. Yippee!
