My Top 10 New Fave Things

I had a great visit with my friend and digital media mentor, Fred Seibert today. He is the Creative Director and co-founder of Next New Networks. I feel every time I see him I have had therapy AND walked out of the locker room onto the field, pumping my fist and going "Yeah! Yeah!" --all ready to decimate the opposing team. But in a good way.

He again is the guy that I sold my cow to for 3 blogging beans. He somehow got me blogging. I had no idea to be grateful for that at the time. And sorta still don't?

But he got me to thinking about what do I care about? This is important for the job search I am finding. Which got me to thinking "What Rocks Me in General Right Now?"

In no order:

1. Evernote
I have wanted to find an app which I can use when have a thought/idea or want to keep a clip from a website and store it in one place that I can access on my computer, on-line or on my phone! This is it! Check it out. You can even leave yourself audio messages. I have my TO DO list on here and therefore it is synced in with my phone so I can access it at home or on the go. And if you see some bit of a web page that you like you can highlight it and keep it here. OR if you leave your car at the airport you can photograph where you left it and there you have it.

2. Abandoned Stations A blog about New York subway stations that are bi-passed and are ghosts of their former selves. Great photos and very interesting.

3. My Damn Channel I am digging some of the short form programming they are doing. And I love Sarah Silverman.

4. PaidContent Global coverage of the business of digital content. Plus great job site. (Would be greater if I actually got one...)

5. Expialidocious Pogo remix of Mary Poppins song. Simply uplifting and hypnotic. You can get the MP3 free on-line and download to itunes.






6. Snag Films Watch free documetaries on-line. Cable bill! I don't need you! Why do I keep you?

7. Bloglines.com I keep all my RSS feeds here and read the HuFFPo and Daily Beast and Mashable and Guardian, etc. all here. A tidy place to keep it all. Love it.

8. Purple Haze doing Single Ladies. Okay not new to me, but I still LOVE IT.



9. Greek Food- The new Italian. You heard it here first.

10. Jacob's Buscuits

My cousin in Ireland used to send these to us from his shop and I saw them at Fairway and got a tin and fell in love. Sadly, I am really in love.


11. Okay 11 things. I have not touched it, seen it or smelled it, but I am in love. The new iPhone. Watch the Guided Tour Video. Virtual Porn.
