Here is the end of month Top Commentators post for June 2008. I guess a week into July means I need to get busy and do some blogging.
- Paul (9) has good news for about the Phoenix real estate market which he tells us is up from March 2008 to April 2008. Perhaps this news of the real estate market in Phoenix is an indicator for the US real estate market in general.

A little over a week ago, I started participating in the 365 Days Flickr group, which is a group where you take a picture of yourself everyday for a year, and post it to the group. The picture has to be one that you take yourself, and it must contain at least some part of your body. One lady who made a comment on my very first pic, who is also in the group, also started doing head shots of herself, and is keeping those in a separate set of pics. You can only submit one pic per day, so make sure it is a good one. Oh, and porn is not acceptable.
I think the idea of taking pictures of yourself over a year, is a pretty cool idea. It will allow you to take pictures of yourself, and after a year, you can look back and see how you have changed over the year. It will also be a good record of some of the things that you have done over that year.
I think it would be a great idea if some of the people that visit this blog, would do this as well. But hey, not everybody minds having their picture taken and posted online.
Well how about this, if you don’t want to take part in the 365 days group, how about posting a single picture of yourself here, as I think it would be pretty cool to place a face with the comments. If this is something you are not opposed to, please use img tags and post a pic in a comment below. <img src=”url”> is the code to use if you are willing to post.
If you join the Flickr group, let me know as well.
So what about you, do you mind having your picture taken and posted on-line?

Paul from Newhomessection.com just sent me a link to The Story of Stuff. If you go to the site, you can see a 20 minute video about the life cycle of stuff. The video below is just 1 little video that is several minutes long. I would suggest going to the site to view it in its entirety.
Be sure to stop in and read the Story Of Stuff Blog as well.

Top Three Commentators
- Eva White (6) has a very wise post about Health Insurance. As an ex insurance agent, I can tell you, it is always better to have it when you need it rather then to need it and not have it. Do yourself a favor and check out Eva’s Health Insurance post.
The rest of our top ten commentators.

Here is my week one Plurk update, which includes stuff I have learned since using Plurk for about a week now. Read Lifecasting On Plurk, my first Plurk post.
Search for Plurk and Twitter Users with Google
Here is a little Google Search Engine that I customized to search both Twitter and Plurk users. I wanted to be able to find users that were near me, so I decided to try this out. Check it out and let me know what you think. Too bad I couldn’t hook up my Google Adsense code to this.

Firefox is trying to break the world record for the most software downloaded in a 24 hr period.
So if you are like me and you are using an older version of Firefox, tomorrow, June 17th, help Firefox to set a new world record and download the latest FREE version of Firefox.
What features does the new Firefox have?
- Phishing and malware protection,
- instant site ID info.
- built-in spell checking,
- session restore
- full zoom
- Customize your Firefox browser with over 5000 different add-ons.
What, you are still using Internet Explorer?
Alright all you Firefox users, stop your laughing, that’s not polite. For all you still using IE, I implore you to make the switch, not to help me out in any way, but to help yourself. I like you, was once an IE browser user, but after having IE block the Google tool bar a few years ago, I made the switch for professional reasons. This, I will have you know was my second time attempting to use the Firefox. What can I say, old habits die hard, but as they say, if you do something for something like twenty days it becomes a habit. So my suggestion to you, give Firefox a try for a month, and you too will become a fan of this browser, which can be customized to your needs. Click either image to be able to download Firefox 3.
FIREFOX DOWNLOAD DAY UPDATE
According to TechCrunch, the Firefox 3 Hype Worked, because 8.3 million downloads were recorded in the first 24hrs, beating their goal by 5 million. Congratulations go out to the Firefox marketing team.
