I can’t believe that this was done by a teenager.

• Moola.com - This adfunded web game that is giving my wife something to do online, plus it makes us money (I figure if she earns 22 cents a day on it, I can buy a MacBook in about a year and a half).
• The OLPC set on Flickr - Pictures of the One Laptop Per Child prototype that MIT created that will increase learning throught third world countries.
• Skype - Using it peer to peer is rad, and calling any landline in North America for free is a handy bonus.
• Seth Werkheiser - Not in a gay way, but in a proud way that things are working out. Indie music blogs may pay off just yet.
• The 1Up Yours Podcast - Best theme (next to diggnation’s), great hosts and a fair amount of well placed obsenities make it a entertaining listen. NOTE: Embraced Blogs does not consent or condone the use of foul language as a tool to express emotion, though it does make things interesting.
• The Chevy HHR - It’s my new work vehicle, and its pretty sweet, other then having to crank the volume to make my iPod sound decent. Good design otherwise.
• Silverorange - Cause they rock. Did the redesign on Digg and also for Mozilla.

Yes. It is really very, very free. There’s no prepayment, no minimum use, no subscription, no monthly fee, no nothing. You just download and install Skype and then you start calling. Both the caller and the number called must be in either the US or Canada. There are no strings attached.

Here is link to a great article that pretty much sums up my feelings on the Illegals on Strike issue

Jason Kottke joined The Deck today, a indie ad network that supports other heavy hitters such as Waxy.org and 37Signals. Pretty cool to see these guys playing by their own rules.

Speaking of 37Signals, I’m planning on abandoning WordPress and redoing this blog in web wunderkind Ruby On Rails (No hard feelings WP).
