1. Access to Java
2. Awesome JRuby Shirts
3. Appealing to companies with legacy code.

Now, I don’t want to sway you to pick any particular version of Ruby.  Chances are you are using a shared hosting platform and are limited to whatever the heck the web hosting company gives you.  Whatever you pick, consider using Ruby on Whales for a framework.

Never fret, I’ve found some discount links for Turbo Tax 2011 that will help you out. 

J&R Provides the basic version for $29.95. Intuit TurboTax Basic 2011 – Windows Guides you step by step through your tax return / Easily imports prior year tax data/documents / Automatically Fills in W-2 and 1099 Info (Rebate available from 11/20/2011 to 04/16/2012)

However, if you want to save $.95, you may want to pick this up at Walmart. Plus, you can usually get this shipped directly to the store. TurboTax Basic Fed + E-File 2011

Buy.com gives you basic plus the Federal (which is what we all need anyways!).

Intuit TurboTax Basic Federal + Efile 2011

Now this is the one I like and have used in the past. The only thing missing is the local taxes! This one includes TurboTax Home and Business Fed + E-File + State 2011 guides you step by step through your self-employment and personal income taxes. Get help finding small business tax deductions and industry specific deductions. File your federal taxes federally for free and receive electronic confirmation from the IRS.

There you have it, just a few choices of cheap copies of TurboTax 2011. Yeah, I said cheap, not free :)

One thing to note, yes, many of the Apps are free, but also many contain in-game purchases.  Make sure you turn of in-app purchases (unless you don’t mind the kids maxing out your credit card)

1. BattleNations – Totally fun game to play with the kids.  What I find great about it is that you do a few plays, then come back later to see how much progress your land has made.  Yes, you do get to battle enemies with guns, but there are no actual bullets or grenades fired directly, and most of all, no blood.  Which makes it kid friendly for me.  Plus the graphics a totally crisp and incredible.  You can tell this fun game was made specifically for the IPad. Battle Nations – Z2Live, Inc
2. Doodle Buddy – Totally fun painting program for kids.  My 3 year old has a blast with it.  Comes complete with “rubber stamps” that also make noises when you draw with them.  You can even import your existing photos too!  Perfect for drawing mustaches on faces.  This is also a great app to use a stylus with (I have a RocketFish stylus).  You can save your creations and even post them to Facebook.  One of the best Free Apps out there in my opinion!  Doodle Buddy – Paint, Draw, Scribble, Sketch – It’s Addictive! – Pinger, Inc.
3. Toontastic – Hands down one of THE BEST free apps for the IPad.  This program helps teach kids the basics of cartoon story movie making.   The animations are top notch, so are the graphics and the ease of use.  This app is soo much fun.  My son and I spent hours making silly pirate cartoons.  It is amazing that the quality rivals that of anything coming out of the real cartoon shops.  Very cool and fun indeed. Toontastic – Launchpad Toys
4. Glee Karaoke – Ok, I must admit…I’ve never watched the show.  Yes, it is hard to believe, but it is true.  So I was not biased in downloading this app.  There was only one reason why I downloaded this app…Autotune.  The technology that so many horrible singers use today to keep their flat singing in check.  This games lets you sing along to tunes, but the key is to try to stay as close to the real notes as possible.  If you can’t do it, well, don’t worry, Mr Autotune will fix it.  There are limited things you can do in the free version, but it is still lots of fun with the kids. Glee Karaoke – Smule

If you have any more IPad games or apps for kids (that are also free), please send them along. I would love to update this list in the future!

All I wanted to snag was the date of the last download. As you can see, there is no obvious path to that value. BUT, what I do know is that there is a colon in there someplace. This looked like a job for substring-after. I was able to grab this value with this simple XPath:

substring-after(//div[2]/text()[3],':')

Inbound links

I’ve recently been reading lots about a new product that supposedly does all the grunt work for you when inbound link hunting.  The product is called Link Emperor and apparently is does some amazing things. 

My friend is using Link Emperor to increase relevant traffic to their low-level feeder sites and it is proving to be very successful.  Awesome results as he says.  Essentially he has cut down his link buying bill by over 60%.

From what I am told (these are his words, not mine), Link Emperor is like owning your own team of outsourced or in-house employees doing all of the link building dirty work. 

The Link Emperor does the following:

• Manages Thousands of Keywords
• Regularly Builds links to ALL of them
• Prioritizes Links based on multiple metrics
• Hands-free, 100% automated (once set up of course!)
• Hosted Online – which means you don’t have to screw around with getting it installed yourself on your PC.

So pretty much this product does what I do for myself and clients, manually. 

The best part about it is that they are offering a 3 day free trial, plus a 30 day money back guarantee.  I suggestion checking Link Emperor.  3 days should be enough for you to decide if this is the right tool for you.  If you are spending over $500 a month buying links, then this is a no-brainer!
