One Red Paperclip

Another amazing and ingenious internet idea. This guy starts out with one red paperclip and tries to trade up until he gets a house. He currently has:
-One year free rent in the heart of downtown Phoenix. (If needed, the apartment can also come fully furnished.)
-roundtrip airfare for two from any major airport in North America.

Tivo Lifetime Subscription Ending :(

Tivo is ending their Lifetime Subscriptions. They have extended it through April 15 only by calling to activate. I still have my Tivo Series 1 w/ lifetime and it still works great. Cant live without it.

Free San Francisco Wi-Fi

Looks like we're going to get free Wi-Fi in San Francisco thanks to Google.
I wonder what the catch will be. Gmail has those smart ads on the right hand side which are related to your email's content. Ingenious. But it doesnt bother me, though it does capture my attention sometimes. I think when connecting to the free Wifi, it will probably direct users to some google portal before surfing, which is what most hotels do. I dont mind that. As long as its FREE!
