Trulia is a totally free combination of Google Maps and open real estate listings.
Unfortunately Trulia’s listings don’t always link to working URLS with complete MLS data, but it’s a start!
I had no idea there were so many houses for sale in my area!
If you’ve got bulky items around the house that you don’t need anymore and you don’t have an easy way of getting them to a donation center, you can schedule a free pickup from SATruck.com. The Salvation Army will come and haul your stuff away free of charge, and in return you’ll get a receipt that’ll come in handy at tax time.
In my area the Salvation Army is the only charity that will actually come to you to pick up your donations. This made me happy! It also meant I didn’t have to rent a truck to haul that old couch to a Goodwill store.
Have you been watching SG-1 at all this season? I don’t know if I like where it’s headed. I like Ben Browder as much as the next guy, but when they took O’Neill and Hammond out of the picture it just became a completely different show. They shouldn’t have killed off the Goa’uld, ’cause the Ori just aren’t doing it for me.
Although the guy who plays the Doci is one hell of an actor.
1up has a nice preview of Shadow of the Colossus. It comes out October 18th, just three weeks from today. I’m excited, and I know you know already.
Tammy’s been out of town on business, so Saturday I was flying solo at my boss’ wedding.
At the altar
First kiss
The reception (open bar!)
Huge floral centerpieces!
I don’t know what this is, but the salsa band used it.
I’ve never met a cake I didn’t like.
The first dance.
It was a great party. I stayed till almost one in the morning.
Sunday I helped my father in law set up his new iPod. I accepted payment for my services in the form of all-you-can-eat-meat at the brazillian BBQ!
When you flip this thing green-side-up, that’s like saying “Yes, waiters! I am still hungry and I demand you serve me some form of meat.”
Prime rib? Sure! Cut me a chunk off of your meat sword, my good man! Make that two chunks! 
DJ Shadow fans should not miss this video of Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt and Changeling played live by a high school band.

Tell me those aren’t the cutest frigging cats you’ve ever seen in your life.
TiVo Anywhere lets you stream video recorded on your Tivo to any computer with an Internet connection. Pretty snazzy!
Oh Nintendo, why are you so good at separating me from my money?
I was so proud of my GBA SP – possibly the most perfect handheld gaming system ever made. I play it all the time and have successfully resisted purchasing all other forms of handheld entertainment! I’m proud of myself for not succumbing to the fragility of the PSP, the sheer retardedness of the DS, and the eye-squintery and hand-crampery of your GBA Micro.
No sir, the GBA SP was the one for me! That was of course, until this morning, when I saw that you’ve refreshed my beloved SP by throwing in an even more vibrant screen with not one, but two brightness settings.
I’ll get one of course. And while I may love you dearly for giving my old friend a facelift, know too if we ever meet in a dark alley I will do my best to recover the $80 you’ve made me spend.
