Bartering Is Back

SwaptreeRemember the days when currency was chickens and baskets of potatoes? Remember when people traded for a living? Neither do I. Nevertheless, bartering is back. If you haven’t been introduced to Swaptree, you are in for a real treat. Swaptree is a great site where people can trade books, cd’s, dvd’s, and video games for free. The only cost involved with the service is shipping. So if you have a bunch of books or movies lying around that you don’t need any longer, you should sign up at Swaptree and start trading for things that you do want. It’s easy. Create “have” and “want” lists by typing in the UPC code of any item and adding it to the appropriate list. Swaptree does the work by finding trade partners who have items you want and facilitating the trade for items that you have. That’s it. But be warned…it is addicting. Happy swapping.

The Wimbledon Wii Championship

It seems that tennis has been taken to a whole new level…at least in Brooklyn. Skills required? You just have to be able to swing a Wii controller. About 120 people gathered in Brooklyn for the second annual Wii tennis tournament called Wimbledon. Being a tennis player and a Wii fan, I can’t quite decide whether this is cool in the name of fun or sad in the way of I-have-too-much-time-on-my-hands. If we start to see a whole generation of folks training for video game sports, then I have to choose the sad option. But hey, I’m all about an afternoon of fun in the sun with a Wii controller in hand.
