750Words

A daily private journaling tool, which encourages you to write 750 words a day. It gives you points if you make it, and also fun statistics about what you write.

I like it, a lot. Some of the content may end up as blog posts. We'll see.

Check this out - someone took Garfield out of the Garfield comic strip, and it's almost as funny:

I don't really enjoy when people say things I don't understand.

Sometimes I google them, with little or no success. Now, I use:


Phrases

And heck, it even creates a bibliography note for you, in case you want to use it on a research paper.

And if you do do that (use this in a research paper) please let me read your paper!

I like books. They are good.

I like free. It is good.

I like free books. They are doubly good.

So what do I say to agreeing to write a review of a book to receive it free?

Heck yes. So shortly, you will start to see more book reviews on this blog. Many thanks to Jean Ballance for pointing this out. She has (and I have as well) attempted to contact other publishers, so I will let you know if I find any.

But also, you can do it yourself - just check out these websites:

I have a problem. I like to listen to music.
But I have too much music to fit on my puny laptop harddrive. So I have an external hard drive. But I don't feel like lugging it around everywhere I go. So I really appreciate Pandora.
It's like an online radio. You type in the name of a song or artist and it plays music in the same vein for you. So far, I've been listening to the 'lifehouse' station, and have enjoyed it a lot. Right now it's actually playing Take Me Away, one of my favorite songs.
Best of all? It's free.

Sometimes I need a reason to write.
Sometimes, I need to be reminded to just stop writing.

Every now and then, it's cool to check on crazy, subversive, different art. And whether that's unique bookcase designs or information on the painter Banksy, WebUrbanist is the place to go.

I love Television Without Pity, or TWOP. It's full of reviews for almost every episode of any good tv show. And not just full of reviews, but full of snarky reviews. It's great if you miss an episode and need to catch up or even if you just want to relive some of your favorite moments.

Fan of Donald Miller?
Check out this website he started, which advertises itself as "an online magazine presenting an alternative to franchise faith." It updates every Monday.

If you're interested in being a good writer, you probably should avoid cliche's.

Check this out:

This website creates four strip comics out of dreams. At first it's crazy, but the more you read, the more absurdly familiar they become. It's sort of like dreaming while awake.

You've probably seen those demotivator posters, right? Maybe even run into a few that people made on their own. Well, now there's a website where you can create your own. You load a digital pic, type in the text, and it creates it for you. I plan to get a lot of use out of this. You can check it out here:
