Freecycle

I tend to read web comics a lot. I have a whole Firefox window just for them. Rue the day I stumble on a new one I like, I lose hours of time, catching up.

Anyway, one of the comics, I read, Questionable Content, the characters wanted to put stuff up on Freecycle. Having seen these reader tips hidden in the comic before, and always one for a challenge, I went surfing at the great Google Oracle.

What I found was very cool. Now I rss Craigslist Free stuff, but here is a place where people FREEcycle their stuff. No trading is allowed, just "Hey Group, I have an old couch, or lamp, who can use it?" Someone gets back to the poster and takes the thing away! It Salvation Army, without the middleman!

The landfills don't hurt for it either.

I think I will go look for a new towel rack we seem to need that!

Oh and do checkout Jeph's page it is a great comic!

Mike is big into that freecycle thing. Its a good idea, but I have no time to peruse the forums...

Have you read www.somethingpositive.com? He is a rocky guy from up north in Boston. He is an interesting story, because he is the first web comic guy to quit his day job and fully devote to writing a web comic... You can read about it on wiki...

I feel like I have written this somewhere before.
