There are a lot of online image editing sites popping up all the time. Snipshot seems to offer a very easy to use interface, which makes it my top pick. I have used others and found them to be slow and hard to figure out. Now this is no Photoshop so all you can do is crop and resize images but if that’s all you need than this is great. I use it all the time at work when I update this site.
Give it a try and tell me what you think. If you know any other sites like this let me know.

What’s under the floorboards?
What will I eat tonight for dinner?
How old am I? (Hmmm looks like I decomposed :p)
What pet do I have?
What did I do last? (erm yes… Stand there in a gorilla costume… How did it guess?)
Where do I go when I die? (scary…)
Hope you like ‘em!
I do like ‘em. Some of the them are really good. Like were do I go when I die, I have been thinking about that question for years. Oh, can I barrow that gorilla costume?
I found this sweet game called, “Fly Guy”. The graphics are retro arcade style and the game play is simple. Those two things equal a fun creative game. All you do is fly up higher and higher while avoiding obstacles. Also when you do run in to something everything does something different. Try running onto the UFO, its kind of funny. I keep playing it just to see what everything dose. Someone took a lot of time, making this game, and I am going to take a lot of time playing it.

Every Monday, my old roommates and I record a podcast called “Next Topic”. The idea for the show is that we pull random topics out of a red hat. Then when one of us is done talking or hearing about that topic we ring the bell, even if they have not finished their point. So a lot of time we just start yelling at each other. It’s a lot of fun.
If it is hard to you to imagine what this must sound like your in luck because we have recorded 18 shows that you can listen to right now. You can find them at Shinyfire.com or if your smart you can use the RSS feed.
Check out the shows MySpace page and leave some comments or write a topic for the red hat.
Pandora.com is one of the best sites I have found in a long, long time. It runs off the Music Genome Project. Here is what that is:
On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever.
Pandora is the music player they created to pull songs that it thinks you will like. The play list are based off of songs and artist you told it you like. It creates an Internet radio station that’s just for you.
Give it a try, I can’t stop listening to it. I am finding so much new music. I love it!

Sweet I used to have one of these so I guess that make me ahead of my time.
My good friends Jen and Lisa gave me Gummy Bacon! I have know idea were they found it but I am so glad they did.
It looks just like a real package of bacon, only smaller.
Even the back looks convincing. So much so that I might try frying this up in a pan.
Oh wait! Look like I better not try that.
You better not eye up my bacon!
If I can ever find another pack of this stuff I might have to give it a try. I am keeping this package in mint condition.
