Feed Description: A simple waste of time and weblog experiment
A couple years back my mother asked me if I could do something to help her keep
track of everyone's Christmas lists. As my family is spread out
geographically, our practice had been to coordinate through mom to make sure
that my brother Keith didn't receive seven waffle irons in his stocking come
Christmas day.
Anyway, I threw together a little application to help people publish a wish
list for the holidays that helped make sure people didn't buy the same things
for the same people, etc. Over the years it has grown a bit, and been introduced
to the extended friends and family and people seem to like it.
If you think it can be of use to you, please feel free to use it, and share it
with the people you exchange gifts with!
