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.

Taking your garage sale to eBay

GarageSaleeBay regulars spend a lot of time searching shortcuts to simplify repetitive tasks like listing and re-listing items for sale. Indeed, there's an entire page of eBay's quarterly power-seller newsletter dedicated to time-saving tips and tricks. Of course, if you're a Mac user (like me), the availability of high-quality eBay listing tools is a bit more limited than it is in the Windows world.

Fortunately, there's GarageSale, the OS X shareware lister that is one of the best out there on any platform (and one that supports eBay Motors, too). Perhaps coolest of all, GarageSale supports iPhoto, so doing multi-photo listings is a snap. If you sell complex items on repetetive basis, this application can be a huge time saver.  Version 2.1.1 fixes a few minor bugs and is available for download from Paul Hecker, GarageSale's developer.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
