I'm a big user of RememberTheMilk (aka RTM) and a tip I shared on their forum last year was highlighted in their blog this week:

Save $$$, Ooma's back at it...
I'm really surprised by the quick turnaround on their refer-a-friend promotion. This used to be a twice a year thing, but it's only been a few months since the last time.
Also... the deal is different this time around. Previously the refer-a-friend code would get you a $50 discount off of the MSRP on an Ooma Telo. This time:
Get an awarding-winning Ooma Telo, FREE Ooma Bluetooth Adapter (a $30 value) and FREE shipping for $189.99
I may be off base here, but it looks to me like the base price off the Telo may have come down. I think this very well may be a better deal.
Also different... I have five codes to give out. Again, first come... first served:

Goldsmith Lane getting Bike Lanes
This is the part over between Bardstown Road and Bon Air.
Saw this over on brokensidewalk.com. Every time I drove that stretch of Goldsmith I always thought that the road was really wide. Certainly wider than it needed to be. I have no idea why the road was ever built that wide in the first place, but this seams to me to be a pretty good use of the space.

So you think this is automatic?
When are the 12 days of Christmas?
So according to the song... there are "12 days of Christmas", when is the First day of Christmas?
December 12th? Wrong.
December 13th? Wrong.
The "First Day of Christmas" is December 25th. Christmas Day. The twelfth day of Christmas is a little bit harder to figure out as it differs for different Christian traditions, but the twelfth night is always January 5th, which is immediately followed by the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th. The Epiphany is the celebration of the wise men visiting the baby Jesus. Yes... the wise men took a while to get there. They did not show up on Christmas Day/Night as you might think.
I'm not a particuliarly religious person, so I don't know why this bothers me so much... I suspect it's the history buff in me more than anything.
The point is:
- The Twelve Days of Christmas occur after Christmas day, not before.
- Don't take down your Christmas tree before New Years... it's still Christmas. Christmas run nearly a full week into January.

Is it possible to love a man I've never met? (Sorry dear...)
"What our fans have to understand is you have a coach and we’re trying to build a program, so when all the noise in the system and all the rumors start, just don’t even focus on it," Strong said. "Don’t even turn your attention to it. Nothing is going to happen."
...
"At some point, just trust me," Strong said. "I’m not looking for a job. I have a job. I’m the head coach at the University of Louisville."
...
"Every time something happens, I’ve got to make a statement?" Strong said. "It probably makes other schools look good to say ‘Hey we’re pursuing this coach or we’re pursuing that coach.’"
"I work for an unbelievable athletic director, I work for a guy who has given me everything I have asked for," Strong said. "You have so much support from the university, from the city of Louisville. Now all of a sudden, a guy who couldn’t get a job has a job and has some success -- why would we ever think now that he’s just going to chop it and leave?"
"The University of Louisville is not going to become training ground for college coaches," he said.

Super Cheap apps on Android Market
Meant to post this yesterday, and as it stands there's only a few more hours to take advantage of today's deals... to celelbrate the 10 billionth app download in the android market, google has reduced the price on certain apps to just 10 cents. 10 apps were offered yesterday and a different set of ten apps are offered today. Once you've bought an app (regardless of the price paid). You own the rights to use that app. Even if you uninstall it you can reinstall it later or reinstall it on any other android device tied to the same google account. Personally, I think is worth a dollar a day just on the off chance I decide I want the app later.
That said, my personal recommendation for today's apps:

Ooma Refer-a-Friend program is back
Unlike last time where I probably spammed this out more than most want... I've been sitting on these for a couple of weeks now. It's not because my feelings on Ooma have changed. Rather, I've just been really, really busy with work and I'm way behind in my email. :)
Anyway... Ooma's Refer-a-Friend program is back. You can get an Ooma Telo directly from Ooma for $50 off of the normal MSRP and I can get an Amazon gift card out of the deal.
I really like my Ooma. I've had it over a year now and it's more than payed for itself several times over. I still occasionally get calls from my cable provider trying to talk to me about their telephone service and how I can get a great deal on it... I then inform them my VOIP provider costs me $0.00 for unlimited local and long distance. At that point, most of the soliciters acknowledge that they can't beat it and thank me for the time. :)
I have three referal codes. The first come, first served:

Android users... go get "Read it Later Pro" right now
I was intending to post about this.... but why write my own content when I can just leverage someone else's. 
In all seriousness... I broke down and bought "Read it Later Pro" about a month ago in the Android Market and it's a great and really useful app. Certainly worth the purchase price and even better being free.
Yup free.
Today only in Amazon's Android App Store.
Even if you decide to un-install it. Once you own the app (regarldess of what price you paid)... your account knows that you own the rights to the app and you can re-install it later. So go pick this up now and debate later whether or not it works for you.

18 hours to go on latest Humble Bundle
Humble Bundle's latest offering will be expiring in much less than a day. The Humble Bundle is a periodic "pay what you want" offering for games. This time around the Bundle isn't quite as impressive, but that said, I've heard some great things about Frozen Synapse.
Since it's pay what you want (with a portion or even all of your donation going to charity), it's really silly not to check this out.
