What's in your favorites? Part 4

Every now and then I like to share what I have saved in my browser favorites. Well, it has been awhile. So here are links I would like to share!

1. Pandora - I'd heard of this online radio before but never bothered to try to use it. Hubby started using it when his Sirius account expired and told me how great it was. I gave it a whirl and am addicted. Who needs to download music anymore when you have Pandora? You create stations based on your favorite artists and then can hit Quickmix and select which stations you want to mix up and listen to. I have Christmas stations setup now for the holidays! You can vote if you like songs or not and it will play accordingly in the future. Very cool.

2. Facebook - This is nothing new to some of you. I've been on facebook for awhile now, but at first didn't really get into it. Now, it has changed it's format and so many more people I know are on it so it has become fun. It is like my entire mom's club who I have lost touch with is on there now and that is so cool. I like keeping up with all the people I would otherwise probably not have time to talk with. And people's status updates are just so dang funny sometimes! If you aren't on Facebook get going already!

3. New Orleans Businesses - This is actually my own list on my blog of New Orleans Based Businesses you can support online. Check it out. Suggest sites!

4. Dirtycoast.com - This site has some of the greatest Nola t-shirt designs I have seen. Love it! Love it!

5. North Shore Free Use Network - This is a a yahoo group where everything is offered up for free! You can post a SEEK or an OFFER. I joined this group a few years back but have recently gotten back into actually using it. I have had several OFFERS and SEEKS in the last month. Times are tough. Time to recycle and reuse to save a buck or two! Not on the Northshore of New Orleans then find a similar group near you.

Northshore Recycling

I received the following in an email from a friend. I thought it was important enough to post here for any northshore readers.

Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:53:01 -0800
From: phoenix.recycling.ns@gmail.com
Subject: Northshore Recycling Program

You have gotten this email because you have expressed interest in recycling service on the Northshore. If you know anyone who may be interested, please forward this email to them and have them send us their info so we can start to evaluate routes. Rest assured, we will not share your info in any way with anyone else.

We have set up this email account so we can better monitor interest and start to develop routes. We took a similar approach in New Orleans and had enough response in 6 weeks to start offering service; we anticipate a similar response in St Tammany.

I'd like to thank all who came out on the 17th. We did not make it easy by changing venues, but it was necessary, due to the meeting outgrowing the room at Capital One. It was that or cancel and we felt like moving the meeting was preferrable. There were a lot of great points raised and we appreciate the opportunity to hear what is needed to cover as much of the Northshore as possible. There is a lot of ground to cover, but I think we can start to offer something soon.

I'll pass along any pertinent info and you do the same.

Thanks,
David McDonough
