Well, considering it’s been ions since I last did some speed linking, I thought I would share a few things that have interested me in the past few days.

Derek from My New Choice gives us the top 5 Firefox extensions that can save us money.  I have added these to my browser, but will have to be careful, because they may save me money, but also give me the opportunity to buy more things than I normally would, even though I may be getting them at a better price.

John Chow shares a video of a young successful man, Tyler Dikman.  He’s got some good things to say, but it’s also motivational to see other peoples success.

Sean Dinner has found a facebook application to help you raise money, allowing people to put money directly into your pay pal account. Don’t know how well it would work, or how well people would be willing to donate to you over facebook, but it never hurts to try!!

There’s a few things that I read over the past few days that I thought I would share.

After a long stint of not blogging, letting my blog just sit there, and not paying attention to the blogging world, I am now trying to get back into it.  I have been visiting old blogging friends blogs, and trying to catch up on all their posts, which is, on some, next to impossible.

The question for me right now, is what is my blog about??  Well, I’m afraid I can’t answer that, as I need to figure out what my life is about too.  I am currently finishing up a degree in Piano Performance, and thinking about going into a career as an electrician.  I’ve thought about a career in computers and technology, but I’m not sure if that is really for me.  So, all this being said, my blog doesn’t really have a set subject, because my life is so varied at this time.  I hope that as I blog about things on my mind and my interests, my true passions will eventually come out and the blog will have a more consistent subject.

Some interesting stuff I’ve read today, which can help me out:

•  Derek shares about how often you should post on your blog.  A very good post that I’m going to try and refer to as I try and get back into the blogging world.
• Sean posts about some good podcasts, I’ll be checking these out, as I am currently in the market for a dSLR, and have gotten quite into Photography recently.

Well, I came across this on Steve Grimmett‘s site, and saw that Mark Robinson has also done it.

It is a link you can put on your site, and when anyone clicks on it, it automatically links back to your site.  Check it out, it explains it here.

The My Name Is My Domain was started by Gary Lee and followed suit quickly by John Chow, and it has spread from there. I’m not sure how big it is right now, or where the biggest one is, but if you meet the requirements, and want on the list, let me know, and I’ll throw you on there, provided that you put me on your list.

***Start Copying Here***

1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.

2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.

3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.

4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of

My Adds:

David Grimmett
Josh Buckley

The Originals:

Bob Buskirk
Jon Waraas
David Lithman
Gary Lee

John Chow dot Com
Nate Whitehill

Time for me to share some posts that I read recently that I enjoyed or felt I should share.

Saman is working hard at comment whoring, and its working!! His site has a lot of interesting reads and his comments on the many sites he comments on are always an interesting read. Check out how his Technorati Rank has Skyrocketed.

John Chow continues his obsession with the Pagani Zonda, and is now drooling over the Pagani Zonda R. I don’t blame him, it is definitely one sexy car.

Monetizing blogs is a popular hobby these days, and we have seen that if done well, with enough traffic, it can create quite an income. Take John Chow’s site, and his earnings for February. Here is a great post on Monetizing WordPress Plugins. Which I’ll probably try at some point, after my traffic picks up a bit.

If you are like me, you have a lot of music, all on your ipod, which is almost always on you. The problem is, the music on the ipod is not organized very well. I’m planning on trying to organize my itunes library this weekend, and I’m going to try and follow the steps outlined on TheTechZone.

Well, only four links this time.  I’m sure there will be more next time.
