I’ve  been a little addicted to birdsong recently – it’s the consequence of living in a city with traffic, concrete buildings and noisy people. I started to notice the absolute lack of birdsong in the morning (though it has been dark and winter for the last 5 months). Inspired by Rainymood.com (play it along with your favourite music!), I’ve created BirdyMood.com a Birdsong Radio that’s easy to use (1 click) and free.

I see this guy every where. I swear he must be the most known unknown in the world. Not only is he on bazillions of websites around the world from parked pages to dodgy med sites but I’ve also seen him on billboards in Portugal and leaflets in Uganda.

So, let’s get too it. How do you get stock photos for free without having to buy credits and without having a watermark on them?

Using TinEye.com the reverse image search-engine you can pick a photo from a stock photo website, right click on it and choose “copy image url”.

I love this search engine that I found at reddit.com – it’s one of those tools that’s mostly used for finding porn (or so I hear…)

Then paste that URL in to TinEye.com and it’ll search over one billion images for the stock photo you want. If it’s a popular image it’ll find it, and usually without a watermark.

Here’s the infamous business man example – 127 found!

Download, crop and re-use.

Godaddy auctions are a great place to grab  some really valuable domains and get them at a cheap price. I’ve started a blog series at Savednames.com where I list domains on a daily basis that I think are great value.

Today’s are 12/13 year old domains for $9. These are in a ‘buy it now’ auction. You couldn’t of registered a domain 12 years ago and still have it today for $9. That’s a normal yearly renewal fee.
