« Rewarding the most passionate | Main | Kill the television, keep the shows »
Free Range Posts
Your turn again. No comment is off-topic. No link to your own blog is too shameless. Y'all have posted some amazing links in various comments, but it'll be a lot more helpful if we have a bunch of your links and recommendations in one place. I'm going to keep a link to this post on the main page, so it'll be easy to find again!
So here's your chance to mention anything you think might be of interest to the group here. And that means anything... please don't stick only to things that reflect our usual topics here (although those are certainly welcome too). Music? Blogs? An article written by you or someone else? Your photos? Web sites? Books you've been reading? Your thoughts about anything in comments?
If it's X-rated or rude, I'll remove it (or edit it), but almost anything else is valid. Come on... surprise us. Here are a few from me:
Full Contact Geek's "ultimate pocket notebook" (anybody with Ricky Gervais dancing on his blog banner is worth a look)
Hugh's new Global Microbrands Rant (inspiring)
Chad Fowler's blog (he wrote the new and wonderful, "My Job Went to India", from Pragmatic).
Kill your television
Another kill your television
wasabi man quicktime movie (that's what I call him -- it's in Japanese, so I have no idea what his actual name is, but I love him)
And you all must have seen this twenty times by now, but just in case...
The Shining Remix Trailer (Quicktime)
Thanks everyone... it's your show now.
(And thanks to everyone who emailed me about reviewing the passionate users book! If I haven't written back to you, I will tomorrow)

I work for Free the Slaves27 million people in the world are slaves; 10,000 of them live in the U.S.
We've created a new documentary on modern slavery in the United States, Dreams Die Hard. Help support our organization by purchasing 5 copies of the DVD for just $20:

(Yes, I borrowed the giveaway idea from Seth Godin. Moo!)

What is the purpose to all of this? I mean, (*looks at the world*) all of THIS? I suppose it is a question whose answer's elusiveness is matched only by the level of utter disregard for it. To me, it just "seems" like that there is no absolute truth in the universe and that we haven't figured it out yet.
Perhaps I should procrastinate on it, which is everyone's favorite course of action. Oh well, back to songs and comics before my brain tries to think itself to death: http://www.murpheek.com

Thanks for a great blog. Must be a good one or I wouldn't have outed my blog crush about it here:
http://simplenomics.com/ive-got-a-blog-crushor-two/
It's almost as good as my favorite, which happens to be one of my wife's 8 blogs, which is located here:

To allow us to do this here is way too kind.

I'm passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals and look damn good naked (no pun intended). Check out my free comprehensive fitness and nutrition program at www.fitnessblueprints.com. If you're interested (and willing) to turn your body into a greek statue this program is for you.
If you could care less about your health and body composition good chances you know someone who does. Earn $25 for referring each person who requests a custom-designed fitness blueprint.

My blog concentrates uniquely on reviewing the space between the commercial and public sector with a focus on youth projects and initiatives - http://www.phatgnat.typepad.com - looking forward to seeing you guys there!

My blog's not exactly focussed, but I still think more people need to read http://xrl.us/hy8w -- an article I wrote a couple of years ago about trust.
http://www.missouristate.edu/folksong/maxhunter/ is pretty fabulous too. Max Hunter was a Missouri based travelling salesman would would take a reel to reel tape recorder around the Ozark mountains. It's a fantastic piece of work -- everyone's heard of Alan Lomax, but Hunter did this for his own pleasure, no Library of Congress funding for him. And it's all been made available, free of charge. Libraries are great aren't they?

Any ideas on how to make about $200 a month with this to cover costs? How was that for shameless? Awesome photography, though. Next issue out soon.

Hi, I just started writing a rambling tech blog
(http://web201.blogspot.com recent posts: eFrames,
Google-icious, eMags)
... and I recently wrote unblokt
(http://www.eigology.com/unblokt), a simple website
where anyone with a computer and internet connection
can help write a novel. The 2nd novel is almost
complete, and I'm trying to raise 500 clams (through
PayPal) to have the first one published through Xlibris.
Micropayments are encouraged. If you think it's neat,
add something to the second novel, and help publish the
first one!
YubNub: a cool social command line for the web
(http://www.yubnub.org). I use this ALL the time.
Incredibly useful, and a great time-saver.
Search for "dogear" in the next couple of weeks. I hope
to release a "better bookmarking" service soon.
Naruto: a funny and interesting Japanese ninja anime
that you can find on most torrent sites. Come on!
NerdTV: tech video and podcast interviews with famous
nerds (http://www.pbs.org/cringely/nerdtv)
Thanks!

I'm amazed nobody posted this music link before:
http://pandora.com -- Music Service that serves you music you like, based on music you choose & rate. Has a subscription plan but 10 first hrs are free!
Could create some passionate users, too :)
