Grokking the Geeks

My wife and I enjoy creating small websites in our spare time. Here are some of the sites we've created.

• Looking for information about Adecco payroll? The Adecco payroll website or just examples of a paycheck stub sample?
  
  Paycheck-stub.com has your information. We try to provide anything related to paycheck stubs we can -- who would have thought that Adecco payroll was in demand? Must be a popular product. Looks like we're providing a gateway for folks interested in using/buying it.


• Got a tingling in your feet? Did the doctor tell you it was neuropathy but you have no idea what that means?
  
  There are many types of neuropathy in feet and legs that you can get. Some is natural, like when your foot goest to sleep. Some is not. It's important for the serious kind to know the symptoms of neuropathy hands feet so you'll know what to do. For instance, treating neuropathy in feet varies depending on the underlying causes. This site provides a grade-level explanation, videos, and links to more official sites to help in your research.


• Neuropathy is not only limited to your feet and legs. If your feet and legs can get neuropathy, the rest of you can as well? For instance, there are lots of commercials on television right now about Poligrip Fixodent and other denture adhesives causing permanent neuropathy. Neuropathy is a really bad thing no matter where it occurs.
  
  What can you look for in terms of a neuropathy treatment? Tell me more about neuropathy in feet, or give me the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
  For all this and more, like Fixodent Neuropathy, Poligrip Neuropathy, The Fixodent lawsuit, or the Poligrip Lawsuit, check out the site.


• On a lighter note, who doesn't like hamburger casserole recipes? Whether it's that hamburger tater tot casserole, the award winning casserole recipes, the hamburger potato casserole, the hamburger noodle casserole, or the yummy ground beef stroganoff recipes, this has to be one of my favorite sites ever! Be sure to check out the e-book while you're there.


• If you've read along with the blog at all, you know I'm a big fan of startups. Over and over again people ask me what kinds of books I recommend to people just getting started out, and it got kind of old trying to recreate the same list of books again and again.
  
  So I created a list of books that hackers recommend to each other -- what are the books super hackers use to help guide them form their own startups and make millions? hn-books might be a site you'd like to check out. The entire site is full of top-shelf books, but a few stand out, like Code Complete, Fred Brook's game-changing The Mythical Man-Month, or Rob Walling's excellent Start Small, Stay Small. I also started adding science fiction to the mix -- some really good sci-fi over there. There's a tool to create you own "count-down clock", telling you how much time your startup has until it runs out of money. There's also a tool for creating your own lists and emailing them to friends. And -- if that's not enough, each book page has a section where you can see what people all over the web are saying about the book. Fun little project.


• Like funny pictures? So do I! A few years ago I started collecting funny pictures as a way to have images ready when I was creating training material. One thing led to another, and one day I woke up with a couple of thousand pictures on my computer and no way to easily find anything. So I decided to create a site just for the images I think are funny or interesting, then upload and tag all of them. That way I can find them easily in the future, plus you guys get in on the fun.
  
  There's a lot to see over there. If you like funny signs, there's a tag called "not a good sign" which you'll like. If you love movies (as I do), be sure to check out the "" tag. Finally, many of you guys like the sexy girls, and they catch my eye as well. So there's a "sexy" tag too.


• On the low-end of the spectrum, I realized that a lot of people have problems logging into Facebook, of all things. So one of my projects was creating a micro-site to help folks learn how to log-in correctly, and to share various funny pictures and such that folks might like to share with their friends. It's called (appropriately enough) facebook login help
