Wedding Planning Made Easier
Weddings can be a stressful time for the bride and groom (mostly the bride), and the entire project can seem overwhelming, especially when trying to balance expectations, ambitions, and limited budgets. Luckily for them, the web is here to help, with many useful tools that engaged couples (and occasionally, their families and friends) can rely on to make the process much smoother. Unluckily for them, the wedding industry is also a minefield of advertising gimmicks, with as many ploys to get couples to spend as much as possible in as little time as possible. I've tried to keep this list focused on less commercial sites, and where necessary, inform if a paid investment is worth the money. (Link:

The Language Of Gardening
My fiance and I recently moved to Los Angeles and inherited a large garden, which includes, but is not limited to: roses, figs, artichokes, lemons, loquats, oranges, figs, and grapefruits. I have been known to kill bamboo. Clearly, we needed guidance, information, and resources, a lot of which I found online. Learning how to garden is like learning a new language. For those who've always wanted to connect to other gardeners, get advice about compost and plants, and trade seeds and stories, this round-up is for you. (Link:

Fun With Social Shopping
Shopping and the Internet are a perfect marriage. Combine equal parts user curiosity, materialism, need for research, and a dash of social networking, and you have a great recipe for happy users and advertisers. Finding the perfect item, be it the perfect pea coat or the most eco-friendly couch, has never been easier, or a more fun diversion. The following sites are all vying for your attention and shopping prowess with endless options for sharing your finds, which is as it should be. (Link:

The Web App as Your Personal Assistant
There are dozens of ways to keep a calendar, make a list, or get reminders online. A few web offerings do all three very well. A human personal assistant is best but, for many, not in the budget. Until you reach that stage, consider three free sites that are serious competition for your personal assistant needs. (Link:

Traveling Internet Style
Travel is a necessary fact of life. We travel to visit far-away families and friends, or we travel for business. Most people, if you ask them, will say "We love to travel", but if you press further, they will admit that it's not exactly the act of traveling they love, but the end result - being away from home or escaping the stresses of their personal or professional lives. The romance of travel is often obscured by the stresses of hunting down the cheapest airfares, researching hotels, and looking for the best experiences while avoiding the tourist traps. (Link:

The Crafty Revolution
One of the most pleasant ironies of our fast-paced, technological Internet era is the renewed interest in all things handmade and do-it-yourself. People who wouldn't otherwise have picked up so much as a ball of yarn are now learning to sew from tutorials online, trading tips with other people with the same crafty interests, and even selling their creations. In some cases (happily, more than a few), they are able to make enough money to quit their day jobs and make their crafts their sole source of income. (Link:

Health 2.0
In case you hadn't noticed, healthcare is one enormous economic sector. In the United States, spending on healthcare in 2005 was calculated at $2 trillion, which is 16% of GDP. Other countries aren't off the hook either: across the globe, healthcare spending is exceeding the rate of economic growth. So, it stands to reason that web entrepreneurs and even large corporations are increasing their offerings to meet such a voracious demand. (Link:

Drinking To The Web
Alcohol is all about socializing, which makes it the perfect experimental playground for Internet junkies and drunkards. There are all sorts of tools for finding the perfect wine, keeping in touch with other fans of your favorite beers, or mixing the perfect cocktails to show off for your next party. I believe that as with food, alcohol, in all its forms, is something to be savored, and should be uncomplicated and enjoyable. Alcohol is one part of adult life that is all about having fun! (Link:

Student Organizers Add the Power of Facebook
With my graduate student wife and two younger siblings all focused on squeezing the last bit out of summer, I was almost hesitant to say that my latest topic was to be online student organizers,
Notely and
Stu.dicio.us. As it turns out, I was able to enlist the opinions of real live students, without which I would not have been able to finish this article. We set out to find which was the better student application. What we found is that there is really not a better or a worse, but a difference in how you approach studying that matters. Are you meticulous or free form? Are you introverted or extroverted? Do you take careful notes or do you just discuss things after class? (Link:

Nature of Food on the Web
I've recently discovered that talented geeks also make great chefs and restaurant critics. So many of the qualities that make geeks so valuable as your personal tech support and computer programmer - obsessive attention to detail, an eagerness to learn and research, and a fascination with process - make them wonderful in the kitchen. Along those lines, I've found a wealth of sites, built by talented geeks to cater to theirs and our food and cooking obsessions. (Link:

Web 2.0 for Moms and Dads
Recently we've noticed a pack of websites and apps targeting tech savvy moms and dads. We've observed that the websites that cater to families tend to be very community-oriented, and deliberately family-friendly without being overly "girly" (which can be a problem for dad-oriented sites). Care is made to ensure a positive experience for the user, and not just in using the app or website, but also in interacting with other people who use the same tools. (Link:

Mobile 2.0: Still in the far-off future
Let's face it, most of Mobile 2.0 is still trying to catch up to Web 1.1. Despite the rapid growth of the mobile gaming industry, we still get excited about graphics that would have bored us in the glory days of 8-bit game stations. While the mobile world is about more than gaming, many mobile productivity applications seem to lack the luster needed to qualify them for anything that could be considered 2.0. (Link:

Project Management 2.0
The Internet has long been a boon to project managers. And before that (remember those disconnected days?) many offline software applications were as well. But apart from the ubiquitous Microsoft Project there have been few specific applications for project management. Project managers have mostly filled their planning and communication needs by cobbling together systems from more generic applications.

Highlights from WordCamp 2007
Unconferencing is one of the reasons I moved to San Francisco. They are free, geek-infested, and very enlightening. The open source software community is probably my favorite group of folks to hang out with here. I spent my whole day at WordCamp 2007, hosted at the Swedish American Hall in downtown SF. (Link:

Tools for Researchers and Book Lovers
Libraries, students and book lovers can take advantage of several Web 2.0 tools to help them manage their book collections, do research, and create bibliographic citations. We've briefly mentioned BibMe and LibraryThing in the past, but let's explore them further, as well as Zotero, a "next generation research tool". (Link:

GTD 2.0
Are you a member of the cult of GTD? David Allen's time management system has gotten so much attention in the last several years that you've probably at least tried it out. If you found GTD didn't work for you, you might try again--there's a whole host of Web 2.0 tools for GTD. (Link:
