This stroller is amazing.  I became a father in 2008 hence the stroller but seriously this thing is amazing.  It is not a stroller it is a system.  I see people wrestling with their strollers like a greased pig all the time and the Orbit Baby solves this problem.  Here is my original post about the Orbit Baby

In 2008 I officially became a golf nut.  Granted golf nut does not equal good golfer.  Anyways here in Chicago they opened a new golf range that is some mix of golf, darts and bowling but at a driving range.  They have a wait staff that you can order food and drinks from so it is already 2 times as good as your average driving range.  If you can't play golf this is next best thing.  My original post, Not Your Dad's Driving Range,  sums it up nicely.

Google Reader helps me churn through lots of information in one sitting without spending all my time my time bouncing around from site to site.  Plus I have them organized in a way that lets me focus on themes.  For instance I am an online marketer so all my feeds from those sites are labeled together so if I want to catch up on that stuff I read those post.  If I am catching up with my friends blogs I have them grouped together.  Once setup, which is easy, Google Reader really makes it easy for me to keep up with all my favorite sites.  Plus it makes it simple to share things you like or think a friend might like.

The online photo world is crowded but Picasa (owned by Google and integrated with other Google products) has in my eyes set itself apart.  The software is free, has easy to use features like a red eye reducer that works, a movie/slide show creator, upload to web, email option and a ton more dead simple tools.  Granted I still use some other photo sites for other reasons but this is my main desktop app to keep my photos organized.
