Zillow.com - Your Edge in Real Estate

As prophesized in Freakonomics, an extremely usable web database of house market values. Realtors have just become 50% less necessary. Hooray.

VMWare Server

Fantastic news: VMWare are making their server product free(beer). I’m almost certainly going to use this for a dev server at work — Backup the virtual machine image every night, and if hardware crashes, just startup your backed-up image on a new machine. Also gets around the “You can’t create an image” limitation of the free VMWare Player app.

Sketch Swap

Silly fun little webapp — Draw a picture, submit it, get a new one in return.

Threadless.com secret sale

T-shirts for $10 if you use their “secret” codes.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Joy & I saw this on Broadway last weekend, and absolutely loved it. Both funny and moving, and the theatre is brilliantly decked out like a school gymnasium, inside and out! Highly recommended.

Rentaghost The Musical - UK Theatre Production

Classic British kids TV show turned into a touring musical by Joe Pasquale! (via my sister, whose email had the subject line “Yes, really”)
