GoDaddy.com

Domain Name Registrar

Everyone has an opinion about the best company to register your domain with! So far, we have worked with several different registrars over our illustrious careers it's hard to count. We must admit that several years ago we shunned this company because their customer service was - well, non-exisitant. We have since changed our tune and have even just completed the process of transfering the majority of our domains from Network Solutions to GoDaddy. Trust us, this was no easy and quick decision. We used to rave about Network Solutions and their customer service, plus the ease of transferring domains in and out of the service. But now...you just can't beat the prices GoDaddy offers AND their customer service beats the other company. We highly recommend GoDaddy. Click on either link or banner - you'll give us a little back too!

ClickInks

Online discount ink source

Even though we try to stay as green as possible, we have to print out ideas and contracts on paper. When your inks run low, if you are like us, it is so easy to get annoyed at how expensive those darn ink catridges are! We discovered this company a couple years ago and they have saved us a bundle. Shipping is quick and they give us options in pricing for inks. Returns are easy - no questions asked. Give them a try, you'll never go back to Staples!

Shameless Blog Plug Deux: The Farm Again

A blog that makes Farming seem really cool

Written by a transplant from Los Angeles 'back' to her hometown in Iowa as a farmer. Seems like an odd reversal, but somehow it all makes perfect sense! You'll enjoy the daily feeds and updates. It might inspire you to put your hands in some dirt yourself...start an urban garden even!
