Do You Know Where Your Money Has Been

Published at 04/26/2010 in Cool Websites. View Comments

This site isn’t new, but it is improved. I first wrote about the Where’s George site back in 2005. Have you ever gotten a bill back from someone and thought, "I know I’ve had this in my pocket before!". Maybe you have.

With the Where’s George website you can track where those greenbacks are going and see how your money has been flying around this economy with or without your help.

Since I first wrote about Where’s George, we’ve had things develop like Twitter and Facebook, where you can now follow Where’s George on Twitter or you can be a fan of Where’s George on Facebook.

Playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online from EA Sports

Published at 04/04/2010 in Cool Websites and Sports & Recreation. View Comments

One of my absolute favorite game titles of all times for the Xbox is Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf from EA Sports. After receiving an email recently to inform me that I could now play my favorite Tiger Woods golf game online I was immediately concerned about the future productivity that would be exhibited by me on my computer.

Since I’ve been playing the game on a game console for so long, I’ve gotten used to all the player controls available through the console controllers. I’ve even played around with the adjustments to playing with the Nintendo Wii motion controllers.

Playing online with just your mouse and a keyboard takes some adjustment, but it doesn’t take away any of the fun. The added bonus, although consoles are delivering this now too, is the online aspect of game play. There are tons of people playing the same game and the same course you are, you can even see them playing around you as you play.

So, if you’re looking for a fun way to kill a few hours of your day, go play Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online by EA Sports.

I’m Just Another EveryJoe.com Kind of Guy

If you follow me on twitter, you may have remembered me tweeting about an interesting email I received a couple weeks back.

The email was about some changes taking place at b5media that directly impacted me and the writing I was doing on Microsoft Weblog and Uncover the Internet.

They had made the decision to terminate a number of their blogs and to aggregate the content and various writers into their new tech/sports/men’s interest portal at EveryJoe.com.

Due to the changes in market conditions and advertisers, b5media has been launching a variety of portals to make deeper, more content rich sites as opposed to their original model of numerous niche blogs on a variety of topics.

b5media is still sticking with the variety of topics, but keeping them in portals based on general ideas of interest and topic. For instance, EveryJoe.com has categories or topics like:

Baseball, Basketball, Cars, Computers, Electronics, Fitness, Football, Gaming, Golf, MMA-UFC, Movies, Music, Racing, Spirits, Sports Rumors, Television, Tennis, Weight Lifting.

Some of the higher traffic blogs under the original blog structure have been maintained as "Featured Blogs" in the new portal. Proudly my Uncover the Internet site was one of those blogs kept in this method.

So, if you’ve enjoyed my writing on my other blogs for b5media, stop on over at EveryJoe.com and catch me there along with some other great writers and topics.
