bookchiq: @tacanderson I’m paying for SurveyGizmo, iContact, Harvest, and BatchBook. Not sure if those all qualify as web 2.0 apps…

bookchiq: @tacanderson Good reminder from @ejhildreth… I use Jungle Disk/S3 as well (and probably will forever, since it saved my bacon big time).

I like the search-by-color feature, particularly that you can combine colors. Very useful when working out an idea.

Seems like the kind of place Keith and Daniel would enjoy.

bookchiq: @waded That’s true. :) I’m in a forgiving mood because they gave plenty of advance notice, but it does make it hard to check them out.

bookchiq: @Neilochka Agreed! I’m just the re-tweet messenger. :) But an interesting idea, and would “force” creativity. Maybe a 1 day/week exercise?

bookchiq: @StephenTiano They’re pizza-inspired. Marinated the mushrooms in Italian seasonings then stuffed with sauce, pepperoni, cheese, onions, etc.

Marginally better today, but still feeling exhausted.
The one potentially exciting thing about today: Leanna and I carved a pumpkin for her apartment’s contest, and it’s being judged…

bookchiq: 1 hour on the phone & the City of LA admits I don’t owe them money. More painful than it needed to be but much better than the legal route!
