SWOOPO – A Cheaper(?) Alternative to eBay

If you are eBay auction-addicted, but are looking for a new way to find some high-end items relatively cheap, then SWOOPO may be the auction site for you.

Like eBay, it’s an online auction site.

But unlike eBay, where eBay makes money from the seller (auction posting fees) and from the buyer (taking a percentage of the final auction price), Swoopo uses a slightly different pricing model:

Poop the World

iPhone apps are either practical or fun.

POOP THE WORLD is an iPhone app that’s both.

Are You a Hobo, Bum, or Vagrant?

Do you know the difference between a hobo, a bum, and a vagrant?

I Wear Your Shirt

Jason Sadler is the next in a long line of Internet-savvy marketers who are working the ‘net to make a buck.  Remember the MILLION DOLLAR HOME PAGE, where businesses paid $1 per pixel to have their logo displayed on a giant home page?  Yeah, they made their money (and a lot of press).

Movie Review: The Goods

Rated R for language, sexual commentary, brief nudity, and karaoke.

Movie Review: Julie & Julia

Rated PG-13 for some adult language and situations, and a graphic description of the best way to whip your cream.

Rating: B+

Julie & Julia is not a perfect movie, but if you are able to point out flaws in a Food Network recipe (like those seen in Zarela’s Creamy Rice Casserole or Chef Keith’s Jerk Chicken), then this film is perfect for you.  It knows its target audience — those who like chick flicks, as well as foodies of all kinds — and caters… no pun intended… directly to them.  It’s not a mistake that the filmmakers have promoted the film almost continually on the Food Network.

A Car Powered by Mountain Dew

Albequerque, New Mexico’s Paul Patone knows his engines, and Paul knows his soda.

Paul would be the first one to say that soda, particularly Mountain Dew, is literally his driving force.

Why’s that?  Because Paul has figured out how to CONVERT HIS CAR SO IT RUNS ON MOUNTAIN DEW INSTEAD OF GASOLINE.
