Happy New Years from Central New York and TimmyJohnBoy.com! I just stopped by ProBlogger.net and noticed that he posted a “Happy New Years” post highlighting 10 of his most popular posts from 2008 (from statistics with Google Analytics). Great idea, Darren! Great way to both take a review of which post topics brought the most [...]
In the tradition of all things free and cheap, I’d like to announce that I just heard on the radio that people traveling the New York State Thruway this New Years have the opportunity to pull over for a free coffee or tea at Thruway Travel Plazas! The free beverages will be provided at all [...]
I common theme on this blog is ways to save money. For instance: How To Fix Your Glasses Quickly and Cheaply and the recent post about free programs for resizing photos. Today I want to talk about a free way to get your hair done without emptying your wallet or pocket book. No steps involved, [...]

When I came across this recipe on About.com, I just knew I had to try it! http://video.about.com/coffeetea/Coffee-Smoothie.htm I have to be honest, [...]
The other day I was working on uploading some pics to flickr when I came across a site called Picnik.com. Basically it is a site where you can do some simple image editing right from your browser! It works seemlessly with your flickr photos allowing you to open them from Flickr into Picnik without having [...]
Have you ever been away from home, or the Internet, or a phonebook (do we still know what one is?) and needed to find a phone number? Most people know that they can call “4-1-1″ to get directory assistance on their cell phone and be connected. This method, however, costs a fee. Now there’s a way [...]
I was just browsing through the posts on lifeofjustin.com and became interested in his post entitled “5 Questions For My Readers.” In an attempt to get to know a few of his readers better, he asked them several questions: 1. What Is Your Name and Age? 2. Where Do You Live? 3. What Is Your [...]
