We had a grub problem in our lawn this summer, requiring spraying and then some re-seeding. I suspect those were larvae Asian Beetle-s. (more)

Thirty7 Signals is working on a new WebApp FrameWork where code will be comprised of local JavaScript, with the network just being used for data. The apps will work offline, when live data transfer isn’t required... It’s built in Coffee Script and Eco, a new templating language created by 37signals. Driven heavily by HTML-v5. They're saying it's focused on Mobile apps, but why limit it to that? Just to avoid MsIE issues?

A glimpse of the HTML-5 EBook reader for Bookish. It works in modern web browsers like Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera. You can read books on your iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Kindle 3 and similar devices. And you can access your books online or Off-Line. Powered by Monocle.

Blog Lines is getting taken over by IAC-funded Merchant Circle. The technology will be integrated into Merchant Circle to allow business owners to create RSS feeds on local (HyperLocal) news around their town, or city as well as their specific trade (i.e. feeds around plumbing, law, or construction). Smith says the platform will also be able to bring in feeds of local daily deals and coupons. Do you really want to go to your lawyer's Portal for news?

Live Performance sales may be dropping, and one factor may be competition from digital media. Jones said tickets sales for live performances are slumping, and audiences are becoming wary of spending what little leisure they have at the theater... Jones argued that rising ticket prices play a small role in deterring audiences... The center is also selling more single performance tickets, Kramer said, instead of subscriptions for series... "There are a lot more choices than there used to be," Kramer said. "With all the new technologies, you can sit in your own home and hear a symphony orchestra, probably at higher quality than you can even in any concert hall."... Patrick Madden, vice president of external affairs at the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, said he is not seeing the same national drop in ticket sales, and discrepancies can be found across the country.

Derek Sivers suggests 2 possible plans for the Starving Artist: * Focus on making your art more valuable to others* or Stop expecting it to be valuable to others. Accept it as personal and precious to only you. Get your money elsewhere.

Peldi Guilizzoni of BalsamiqStudios explains how he uses RSS feeds to monitor his company's Social Media coverage. This allows me to know how my brand/product is perceived and most importantly provide customer service within seconds, no matter how people decide to publish their opinion about my company (web sites, blogs, news articles, twitter or Facebook).

Just discovered the Less Everything apps. Awesome approach! Less Is More!
