As I am reorganizing my life to accommodate a full time job, taking care of my son (and myself), and working on my new business ventures, I am coming across interesting stashes of information. Some of the stashes–like notes from great seminars and lists made while bored at the other ones–are full of arcane super specific information.

But the most interesting thing I have found so far are collections of links that relate to specific ideas.  One example is a group of links related to a water bottling idea I had a few years ago.  I won’t go into details, since I still think I might want to attempt to make a business around the idea at some point.  But the links included really specific details:  i.e. (1) a company selling inline filling assembly lines (I love the schematics), and (2) a link to a trade show related to the industry.

But the sheer randomness of other stashes of links is what is most intriguing.  So, for your entertainment and edification (and my convenience), I am listing below the contents of my google bookmarks before I clean it out.

(1) From Geekpreneur, an article regarding minimizing failure in a new business.

(2) a list of 50 sites to assist you in finding information on anyone, anywhere.

(3) Bizben, a site with a huge number of listings of businesses for sale in California.

(4) CookingForEngineers, a fabulous site for finding recipes that are logical and easy to follow for beginning cooks.  I love food, and I found a kick-ass ratatouille recipe there.

(5) A faxing site that allows a free fax online (I used it while in the Cayman Islands to avoid paying several dollars for each page of a 30 page real estate agreement).

(6) The Ubiquity Tutorial.  If you are not using Firefox AND Ubiquity, you are missing out.

(7) A tool to convert youTube videos to other formats.

(8) Online machine shop – allows you to design and spec just about anything and then have it made for a very reasonable price.  I truly believe that this is one of the harbingers of things to come.  Genius!

(9) Ever need a stop watch?

(10) 100 free podcasts to expand your horizons.

(11) Free summaries of business books.  They do a great job for the most part.

(12) Sun Run Solar, a different model for implementation of solar panel  technology.

(13) TED – Ideas Worth Spreading indeed.

(14) Searchengineguide.com’s web marketing guide.  Worth your time to read.

(15) TransitionCulture – a great little site about sustainability and self-reliance.

(16) Urban Permaculture Guild is a wonderful site related to permaculture, which has interested me since I lived in Taos in 1995-1996.  Beware the autoplay audio (player is in top right corner if you want to pause it).

(17) Wufoo for Forms.

Enjoy and share it if you like.  I hope this list doesn’t reveal too much about me. . .
