http://adayblog.com/site Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:40:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 en http://adayblog.com/site/2008/04/02/drillsheetcom/ http://adayblog.com/site/2008/04/02/drillsheetcom/#comments Wed, 02 Apr 2008 12:39:01 +0000 admin http://adayblog.com/site/2008/04/02/drillsheetcom/ As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been working feverishly with the Drillsheet Team to get DrillSheet.com ready for a release in March. It took us until the last day of the month (March 31 was the release date), but it is now available for everyone to use (and is free)!

We have a lot of new ideas that will keep us continuously updating DrillSheet.com to give our users more features, and a better product. We feel that bringing the Bowling world to the Internet has been highly needed, and we hope our Bowlers enjoy this product as much as we do!

On a side note, Hillary Clinton challenged Barack Obama to a bowling contest. He recently took a few minutes from his busy Campaigning schedule to bowl a 10-year old girl. He only shot a 37, and lost to her 47. I highly suggest Senator Obama signing up for DrillSheet.com, and not to hesitate to ask for a few pointers!

It is a lot of fun to see what people are interested in (helps me see the trend in the web), and also helps me find websites that I have not yet seen. Today's website has to be one of the most comprehensive sites I have seen in awhile for a website favorites list!

The list is ordered by category and shows the logos of each website...which is a lot nicer on the eyes! Just this is a lot of fun, but the creator of the site has taken it to another level. There are extra sections (Entertainment, Kids, Shopping, and Travel) that categorizes the original categories a little more. The site also has a section of the author's weekly favorites.

This site is an excellent find, and I hope you enjoy looking through it.

Many teams are looking for that last minute deal, so you never know what might happen!

The site is not perfectly up-to-date, but it is pretty close. I found that my local newspaper had the news of Brian Campbell being traded to the San Jose Sharks a lot quicker! Have fun watching the trades.

If so, I hope you make today's website a daily site to visit. By clicking on a button on the site, you help get food to animals! The Animal Rescue Site has created an online charity that takes money they earn from advertisers and buys food for animals. 100% of the money they make goes to the charity. It looks like you can only click 1 time a day, so add it to your list of daily visited websites...it will only take 5 seconds to do it every day!

The page shows items that would be sold in the store, but they have been animated on the website to interact with each other. Every time something happens to 1 of the items, some other reaction will happen to another item on the page. What is occurring on the page reminds me of the old board game I used to play, Mousetrap. It does not look like you can make any purchases on the website (since the site is in Dutch, I could not read any of the content to find the online store area), but it is still a lot of fun to watch and is worth checking out!

Today, I am going to talk about what most people look forward to...the commercials! For a 30 second spot this year, it cost a company 2.7 million dollars. For that price, every commercial should be perfect! While a few of them were a disappointment to me, a lot of them caught my eye and made me laugh. I think my favorite commercial this year has to be the Doritos where the guy uses a Dorito on a mouse trap. What happened was very unexpected and was ridiculously funny!

If you want to see a commercial someone is talking about, one you missed, or just want to replay your favorite, check out today's website. Myspace.com has done a nice job organizing them and letting you watch them on their faux television.

As you know from past posts throughout the years, I am a huge fan of these keynotes, and I am always extremely excited to hear what he has to say!

To watch a keynote, you can either wait until it is over and watch the quicktime video that Apple will supply, or you can find a website that is live blogging about the keynote. I do the latter, and I have tested a few sites out in the past. This year, I will be reading the live blog by Cali Lewis from GeekBrief. She is at Macworld this year, and will be at the keynote with her laptop in hand. With her excitement for Apple, I am sure it will be a ton of fun watching what she posts. Lets hope there are a ton of great new additions to the Apple lineup!

I have known a few people that tell me that every time they buy something new from Apple, that product gets updated in a week or 2. To help out with this issue, keep a close eye on today's website. The site, hosted by MacRumors, lists all of Apple's iphone, ipod, and computer products. Each product has a recommendation (if you were thinking of purchasing today) that is determined by 4 topics: the notes on the product, days since the last update, last release, and recent rumors. This Guide is a brilliant addition to Mac Rumors, and I will definitely be using it in the future!

I recently found a site called "1 Sale a Day". I think the first thing that caught my eye was how close the name of the site was to A Day Blog. What kept me coming back to the site was to see what deal they were offering for the day!

I am not a big fan of the site itself. To me, it feels like there are too many web 2.0 features on the site. Instead of pages taking you to the sections on the site, dropdowns open up to let you read everything. This makes everything on the page very cluttered!

Like I said before, I am a fan of the site because of the daily sales, and I will keep coming back daily!

Cookies, pies, gingerbread houses, and many other deserts are made during this time of year to help celebrate. Our belts might not like all of this food, but we sure do!

If you are interested in trying out some new recipes, check out today's website...Mrs. Claus' Cookbook. This recipe is part of the Northpole website. When I started looking through the categories, I was amazed at the amount of recipes. I do not think I am exaggerating when I say there are close to 1000 different recipes to try out! If you have tasted something at a party or friends house and always wanted the recipe, this is the first place I would look!
