This Blog is Facebook Connected
Mar 29th
I just installed Facebook Connect on this blog.
Facebook Connect is a new application created by Facebook that allows you to particpate in this blog using your Facebook login. When you do that, everything you write here also goes into Facebook. Basically it’s a way for you to extend your facebook reach beyond the links/news/etc. within facebook.
Try it out for yourself.
Gas Price Feeds: Here’s a Map

In these trying economic times, saving money any way you can is key to staying afloat.
How about saving money on gas prices? GasBuddy.com has an answer:

GasBuddy is a “crowdsourced” site where the general public contributes daily the price of a gallon of gas. When you go to a station and fill up, you tell GasBuddy which station and how much you paid. That information is communicated back to the Gasbuddy who tells everyone else. This will help you find the cheapest gas in your area. Check it out!

Maybe there is a God? Free Phish Downloads of their comeback shows.
Mar 4th
Those who know me know that I’m a huge Phish fan. I didn’t spend Marni’s birthday the first year we dated because of an end-of-summer Phish show (Marni did say it was okay).
Needless to say that I was a little upset that I couldn’t attend their comeback shows in Hampton, VA in a few days. With a 2 1/2 year old, a pregnant wife (who’s recently been sick), a hectic job, and a few thousand miles of distance, it just wasn’t feasible for me to get out there. Yes, I’ve become an adult.
Well, I just learned that Phish will be offering downloads of their shows 24 hours after the show. And, get this, they’re TOTALLY FREE!
From LivePhish.com:
“Says Trey Anastasio, “We really wanted to show our gratitude to all the Phish fans for their support and the overwhelming response they’ve had to these shows. It’s going to be an amazing celebration and we only wish everybody could be there,” Phish will be recording the Hampton shows in a mobile multitrack studio, and mixing the shows overnight for immediate delivery on LivePhish.com. 256kbps MP3s will be available for free download for a limited time. FLACs and CDs are also available.”
This makes me happy.
