This is a link I found from blogspot. Anything interesting from blogspot I like to post here on this messy blog. I signed up for an account at Highsmith.com. They've got some great library stuff. I've been looking for a box to store the cd and dvd like the ones I see at the library.

Mortgage Calc

Mortgage Rates

I've used a Mortgage calculators for work. These Calculators are designed to help determine mortgage rates. They may help you plan your for your future purchase. I wanted to learn more about how these mortgage calculators work. So, if you are like me, here is a great opportunity to test out some mortgage calculators and how they determine mortgage rates and mortgage quotes.

Focus on Nevada mortgages and Washington mortgages. You may want to mention different factors taken into consideration by mortgage companies when determining a mortgage quote.

Various mortgage calculators are available at PersonalHomeLoanMortgages.com, along with information on Nevada and Washington mortgages. Link as it works for you, but in context please (not separate text/link).

Stickers

custom labels is a cool idea for crafters. "Customized Stickers is a premier custom sticker and label maker who can design personalized adhesive labels in any color, shape or size. Let our sticker printing experts create your custom bumper stickers, printed address labels and much more."
Imagine what you can do with this. As an artist, I like to make design that are similar to tatoos. But I don't want to get a tat, so I just would like to make stickers and put it in my notebooks, journals, and scarpbooks. For organization, I would like to make color coded stickers for all of my projects. One of my goal is to do a nice folder for all of my color and black and white photo negatives.

List of Candidates. When I’m at the library, bookstore or video store, I can come up with lots of titles that I want to read, or view on DVD. Well here’s a version of a bookopda to gather those titles.

Paul has come up with a brilliant hack to store Circa Rolla discs at avwrites.

Couponchief

Coupon Chief

We like to shop at Targets. After looking at the Coupon Chief
site, I'm kicking myself for not having to discover this sooner. So I signed up for email offers of coupons from Target. We could have saved $8. That's almost a 12" subway sandwich. They have other cool companies like Amazon, Best Buys, and more.
It's fun to shop with coupon codes. I don't like to subscribe to newspaper. So online coupon code is the clean way to go.

Daybook by anne Truitt

I read this book years ago. Perusing through my book shelf, I picked it up again. That's the value of owning your own copy. You'll never know when you'll need it again. WRL encourages picking up a book again if you've fallen into booklove with it. There's a value to revisiting a book that one read. Often I rush from one book to the next.

Space Heater

space heaters
My wife smokes outside on the patio. I've always felt sorry for her because she has to sit outside in the cold. I'm thinking of getting her a patio heater.
This one is propane and it's refillable, clean, and convenient. I think it's a good investment. It's not too big and cumbersome. Plus it's good for when we want to be outside in the spring air at night sipping beer or bbqing. :)

epica journal

http://ducly.wordpress.com/2007/02/22/epica-i

It’s been an uneventful morning until I open up my gmail on this fine Friday. Thank you Tari (and the fine folks at Epica) for your Generousity!! Some times I feel like a monk with an alm bowl extended asking for samples of luxuries. I’ve asked Epica to sample one of their fine fine journals and I’m excited to report that Tari has agreed to let me have one of the journal to review. I look forward to having the journal to sample and write about it here. It’s an adventure. Sometimes we are affraid to ask for what we want in life. I am terrified of rejections. But I think that now I must earn it through hard work.

I came across this bit of about the Benedictine libraries and their use that I wanted to share.

The vow of poverty forbade individual monks from owning books (Christ, 19)

The use of the library by monks and nuns was regulated by Benedictine Rule, which permitted only one borrowing per year, at the beginning of Lent. Otherwise, books were distributed each morning and returned each evening (Christ, 45)

The librarian was a well-educated monk who reported directly to the abbot (Christ, 27)

The installation of a libraian was a festive religious rite (Christ, 19)

Box net

I like widgets. Because I don't have a Mac, I try to get widgets for PC. Here's a cool widget for music.

http://box.net/widget

Its a flash player that streams podcasts, music, photos, videos, and any other type of file. They are offering unlimited bandwidth with this widget, and they also will host up to 1gb of files for free.

Please consider putting a live widget on your site and trying it out, so that you can give us an honest opinion of it.

Here's some embed code in case you'd like to save time making one yourself:

sing poetry

Listening to Ms. Bruni sing the gorgeously romantic opening stanza of "Lady Weeping at the Crossroads," one of two Auden poems on the record, it seems entirely possible:

Lady, weeping at the crossroads
Would you meet your love
In the twilight with his greyhounds,
And the hawk on his glove?

There's a new feature on PPP which allows readers to Review My Post. The new PPP program pays you to build your own blog traffic.
"PayPerPost is pleased to announce its new Review My Post program. The Program pays you every time someone signs up and reviews a post on your blog. It's a great way to earn money while increasing the traffic and interest in your own site.

Well, I am interested in building traffic to this blog. It's one of my goals. It's a great idea as some bloggers perfer no ads on the page. It gets the community involved and be for active, interactive with their opinions and express how they feel about a certain post or blog. For example, I'm always curious about the post that I put up. Is it relevant? I'm going to test this feature out on my blog.

Make Money Blogging

Sometimes, the post opportunities really ignite my imagination and memories about travel, food, or goals that I have. Recently, I wrote about Italian Villas, Asian Food websites which offers delicious recipes, and one of my goal is to increase traffic to blogs. I'm learning how to do that slowly through PPP. It's getting increasingly harder to find good post which my meger traffic qualifies. So hurry before it's too late. Get your traffic going and blog with the easy not so demanding PPP. On the other hand if you are a Rockin' blocker then you can really earn American Bucks fast. Oh why has Borat influenced my speech? I wish there was a PPP about Borat and his new DVD out. See I can't help myself, I'm always plugging things that I see or in on everybody's mind. So naturally why not put your mad bloggin' Skillz to work? Your Nogin' will thank you. Your Wallet will thank you. Your bank account will thank you. I got my interest earned income from my saving's account and it was a total of $14 woopin' dollars for the whole entire annual year. You can easily make that kinda do in a week or day. I'm not as prolific as some. I think there are bloggers out there with lots of blogs who have earn well over a thousand, maybe two thousand. I feel that I'm earning a higher interest in the bank every time I blog. If I get rip off at the cleaners for charging me too much and not getting that spot out of my suade jacket, well then I know that I can get him back by blogging for about $30... there I hope to have convinced you. What's more you can go off on the cleaner or someone that makes you made and get money out of blogging about it as long as it fits the requirements of the PPP. See I can release my stress and put myself in the win win situation and feel good that I make an extra dollar for voicing my opinion about a product. Maybe I'll look for a better cleaner business! Maybe I have friends out there with a similar problem. I'm killing two birds with one stone!.

The new segmentation system awards bloggers with high traffic blogs. You could make $1000 for a single sponsored post! Spread the word!! Unforturnately, the traffic to this blog is not much. But I'm trying to get the traffic flowing.

Also...Did you know that PPP only charges a 35% service fee compared to ReviewMe that charges a 100% markup. They are taking half your money for every post! You can get high paying opps more often and put more in your pocket with PPP. PPP makes sense for high traffic and lower traffic bloggers alike.

Bookography

I’ve always wanted to buy or create the ultimate journal to keep track of the books that I’m reading. I found this the other day. This system uses the Circa rings which easily allows one to move the pages from one section to the next.

I also checked out from my library Steve Leveen’s book “The little guide to your well read life”.

Hi Eunice,
I have a blog which I write about Circa Levenger Products: http://ducly.wordpress.com
I would like to receive free samples of your Levenger Products to review on my blog. Some of my post have been featured on notebookism.com.
I’m really interested in trying out the ‘Bookography’. I would like to test this product out and persuade my readers of it’s virtues.
-Duc

Update: 2/13/07 no response from Levenger yet.

I’ve decided to use Squidoo as a form of Bookography using the Levenger organizational ideas: squidoo.com/bookography
