I barely use my Vonage account for anything except to forward my old home phone to Google Voice. I just found that there is an even cheaper plan than the previous lowest one that I had.

One of my favorite card games from a few years back, now for iPhone, Android and Blackberry. They just need to implement a head-to-head over 3G version — it's not quite as fun without the competition element.

Just found out about this Chrome feature: greasemonkey is built-in! You simply click Install on a script, like you would in the Firefox plug-in, and Chrome installs it as an Extension. Pretty sweet and handy.
Interviews: Research, research, research
Lifehacker just reposted an article from Wisebread talking about researching the job you’re interviewing for. I couldn’t agree more.
So far this year at Redfin, I’ve interviewed probably dozens of people for various different positions throughout the company. I can definitely say I remember the ones who knew what we were about, had a plan for success in the particular role and sometimes even knew our history as interviewers. (Although the latter still creeps me out a bit. 
My favorite, jarring statement was from a candidate who said “I wondered what Gilligan looked like” in reference to my Halloween costume on Facebook. That was a bit of a reminder wake-up call.)
If you want to be remembered in an interview loop, especially if you’re up against other candidates or think you might be, put your time into the research and thinking. After all, you’re trying to show you’ve got what it takes to get the job. Why not just prove it?
