I hated when Google killed iGoogle because I used it daily. So i took my data export and built one for myself. Even had the themes part mostly working. I used it for a few years but a lot of the RSS feeds stopped working as the web seemingly moved on from offering those. Not the most interesting tech but something I built just for me.

I've recently launched https://reservv.com a platform for facilitating online appointment booking. Not the first to try and tackle the problem but I'm trying to make the UX simpler and the whole process better for both sides.

My house is recently on the market and the Zestimate and Redfin estimate dropped by 50k the day we listed. It's still higher than we listed but much closer to our number. I think we priced it fairly as we are having plenty of interest but I wonder what would be happening if it didn't change.

Web development consulting. Basically what I did at my previous job but now I have to get my own clients. I never really liked the pitching part of my old job but find it easier now that I'm basically selling myself and believe in that "product" more than what I had to sell before. Making this part more of a company is my fallback if the product side of things doesn't work.

I left my cushy job two months ago. For years I tried to build various products (SaaS) on the side to facilitate the move. I was never able to get enough traction mostly because I wasn't able to devote enough time. I realized that I'd be never really be free unless I took a leap.

I'm launching my first official product in Sept. and have been consulting to pay the bills. The consulting has been good...perhaps a little too good as I feel myself getting pulled away from the product as I'm still busy after raising my rates a few times already.

Every year around Halloween I make $400-600 via adsense with http://trickortreattimes.com/ which lists trick or treat times for cities/towns. It felt like a good service to provide as you really have to hunt for the data. First year I did the aggregating myself, last year I added user submission which made it much more passive.

It's time for me to update it for another year!

I bought a .se domain for a project of mine. In Google Webmaster tools the geographic target is set to Sweden with no way (that I saw) to change it. I got very limited traffic from natural search.

I recently bought a .com domain for the same project and I am already seeing an increase in natural search.

I agree with this. I'm just a few months into my break and already feel super motivated.
