Posterous Keeps Blogging Simple

If you're looking to share with family and friends, but don't think you have time for a traditional blog, hop over to Posterous. It's a site that let's you update your page via e-mail. It's super easy to use, so even if you're not especially blog savvy, it's a great way to share whatever it is you're sharing. I can see a lot of other great uses as well. My husband has started using it to track his diet. He takes a picture of everything he eats, e-mails it to Posterous and it's automatically posted on his blog. Now he can keep track without having to write it down. In the same vein, I can see it being a great tool for a shopper wanting to keep track of purchases, a busy mom wanting to share pictures with kids, or a professional who needs to share products and decisions with clients instantly.

Fred Flare

Today my friend Erika, with whom I take accounting and stats, told me about a delicious site, FredFlare.com. I only had a few minutes before class, but right off the bat found this super mega-awesome ice cream cone lamp that I think is making it's way onto my Christmas list. I don't know where it will go in my house, but it's just the sort of thing I love. Browse the store to find oodles of items from cupcake flavored floss to a light-up Christmas tree made from a computer motherboard to temporary mustache tattoos.

Search for "cupcakes" to see an amazing selection of cupcake items including a kitchen timer, beanie, band aids, ear buds, and Christmas ornaments.
