Find garage sales in your zip code with ZipGarage
ZipGarage is a new service that lets you list and find garage sales in your area. While the service is rather robust, there's not a lot to look at just yet. We entered about a dozen zip codes and couldn't find a single garage sale within 10 miles of any of them.
In other words, the service isn't very useful just yet. Luckily ZipGarage offers the widget you see above that shows locations of various sales. If the site catches on, it could be the Craigslist of garage sales. It offers users a simple tool for listing times, locations, and items for sale.
You can also upload photos and tag portions of them with descriptions. Say you've got a table, chairs, and dinner plates for sale. Rather than take pictures of each item separately, photograph the whole set and tag parts of the image with descriptions of each item for sale.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Right now I think it could use a few more hard core garage salers. I can't believe I couldn't find anything in New York, Philly, or Chicago.

Let's face it...the two places where you will most often find garage sales listings are Craigslist and the local newspapers. I doubt Craigslist would go to the trouble of adding outside web content to their site, but it wouldn't be too difficult for newspapers to do so, especially those owned by large publishers who own papers in multiple markets. Put a blurb in the print classifieds with the link to the web widget and you're good to go.
