Use Google to download MP3s

August 15th, 2007 Josh

G2p.org is an easy to use site that helps you search Google for mp3 files. It is fun, safe, and easy to use! Below is the description of the service taken from their home page:

What does G2P do?
-G2P (Google to Person) uses some crafty Google searches to help locate open directories or otherwise shared files. These searches are nothing secret (In fact, take a look at the results, so you can see how it is done. However, it is much easier to remember g2p.org than these complex searches. Really I put this site together to make it easier on me, and then shared it with you.

Summer Project: Make some money on eBay

August 15th, 2007 Josh

So its not too late to start a summer project, right? There are still a few weeks left before school. Here’s a fun (maybe) project that will, at the very least, make you some money.

At some point, lets face it, your going to have to move all your crap out your parents house and trash or store. My parents just had my sister doing it after she recently graduated from grad school. Now imagine this: you’re finally done with school, job offers are flying, you have a life to set up… and you have to go to your parents house and clean out all your shit. I don’t look forward to it, so I did something about it.

Write more letters to your friends

August 15th, 2007 Josh

Recently, I’ve begun writing snail mail letters to my friends who have gone off to different colleges. It is a great way to stay in touch, it will make your friend feel good, and perhaps the best reason to write more letters is it is exciting to get a real letter back in reply. Plus, at the end of this post I have a way to send those letters free!

So what to write about? Let your friends know what you’ve been up to. Tell them the craziest thing that has happened to you in the last week, some gossip you heard, or just how your classes are going.

What you write maybe not even be as important as sending the letter itself. Just the act of writing and sending a letter will let your friend know that you were thinking of them and value their friendship. This is important, because it can be tough to maintain good relationships across great distances. But, a little bit of effort can fix whatever strains the distance puts on your friendships!
