I’ve been using Things from Culture Code for the last 15 days. I had been meaning to try this app for quite sometime but hadn’t gotten around to it. I had/have been using 30boxes for managing my tasks, but needed something more. I’m still a huge 30boxes calendar fan, and feel that it’s way superior to GCal. But, the tasks are a bit limited and I can’t access it with my mobile. Anyway, so I finally, downloaded Things, and did their 15 day trial. I think it’s a great app, but it’s lacking a web interface and it’s a bit expensive. I had full intentions to purchase the Things license but after thinking about the price, I felt it was a bit much. I noticed that in the past, they had offered some discounts/coupon codes but I couldn’t find anything current online. I decided to email Culture Code to see if they could offer me any kind of incentive. They sent a nice response, but had nothing to offer me. Oh well, I tried. So, now I’ve moved on and am trying out Todoist, which, at first glance is really nice. If someone has a Things coupon code for me, send it my way. Otherwise, I think I’ll wait for them to lower their price and/or add a web version. Maybe todoist will win me over. What do you use to manage your tasks?

I’ve been using WAZE for the last couple of days. Love it. It’s a free turn-by-turn navigation app for your mobile phone. It’s even more than navigation, it’s also a Social app that makes it fun to report traffic news where you live. It works on all the popular mobile devices (iPhone, android etc). You can get all the details here.

I’ve been using postbox since they released their first public version It’s a great email app, built on top of Mozilla. Today I gave them money for their 1.0 version. If you use Postbox or want to try it. You can get $10 off by clicking on the coupon below.

If gmail would ever do imap for external accounts, I would need any other email client. Anyone know if this is in the works?

Go get em! Both Bank of America and FIA tried to raise my rates, which I thought was pretty shitty. However, I called them and they lowered the rates back to where they were originally. They put up a fight, but I persisted and they complied, except that I can’t use my cards again or they will raise the rates again. Credit Card companies do suck, but, we’re the ones who used their money. Solution to the problem would be not to use credit cards.

This is great. The cops raid a house for drugs, then they discover the Wii and start bowling.

Susan Payton did a nice write up on setting up a Facebook Fan page for your company. I think every company should have a Facebook Fan page. Twitter is not necessary for everyone, but Facebook is.

Tony Hsieh just recently sold his company Zappos, to amazon for over $700 million. This is his second company that he’s sold for hundreds of millions (remember Linkexchange). So, when he has something to say about entrepreneurship, I certainly will listen. His advice at the end of this video is something I’ve been preaching for the last 4 years. It’s so cheap to start a web company today, that you really don’t need the kind of money that you use to. Do what you can to get your web service up and making money. You don’t always need VC.
