Ugly duckling? Maybe by today's standards, but at the time, it rocked.

@jetRink: Good point—but this doesn't feel as "seedy" as a payday loan. I'd think for $5, a lot of people would love the 30 day lifeline...still...not necessarily a good idea to get used to. :P

@wagedomain: That's awesome! I'm a newbie runner too. Started last Nov and ran my first 10k in February. Now working to run my first 15k on Labor Day. It's addicting!

MUCH better organizing! Thank you!!!

@wagedomain: Cool—I just heard about that. That's really a GREAT value compared to these other devices.

@wagedomain: Yes, the Nike+ is very good, too! I used one for nearly a year before getting my Garmin. I was surprised when I used the two at the same time how they both matched so well. If you don't care for a map or HR, Nike+ is all you really need!

I track my runs through my Garmin 305 and [www.DailyMile.com.] Love it!

@skier-dude7: Agreed! Techbargains should replace Woot, which isn't an aggregator at all.

@minjin: I agree. That's an odd choice to put on a Deal Hunting Site poll. If anything, they're closer to a store than a deal aggregator.

@muzicman82: Last.fm takes the win for me for the desktop app. I can put it on my desktop and close my browser and enjoy!

@JuryDuty: PS If you want to read a story that won't show up, google Missminimalist and the name of the story—then you can see the cached version.

@kayfouroh: LOL! Yep, don't even think of clicking on a link once over there!

@Homerjay has ABSA Fever: LOL this really is extreme living. But if I had my family in a small apt, I could probably do a lot of that...well, not all of it. But in today's houses, c'mon, we at least need beds and chairs!

I don't think there's anything better for long term tracking and social motivation than using DailyMile for running and DailyBurn for bodybuilding/nutrition.

I'm not surprised. I know Wave was great. I loved the ebook from LifeHacker. But the truth is, most people could never put a thumb on exactly "What" Wave was. I still don't know. It was cool...but I myself never saw any practical applications for me.

@KarateMedia: That's WITH health insurance after I went freelance. I had MUCH better health insurance when I worked at a company—then having a child was about $3k out of pocket. But on my own, it was $15k. What's crazy is how those who bill you will change the price if you just call. I got almost all the bills lowered…

I guess I don't get it. I was able to put in my town, but it wants me to search for a topic. Why can't it just display news stories in general???

@stuart.luscombe: No, that's just one bill from the birth, I'm sure. Our last baby cost roughly $15k in total—and that's without any complications.

I use a simple mindset: If I wouldn't want my employer or mother to see it, I wouldn't post it/say it/reply to it.
