This handy little list has new uses for many items you’d normally toss in the trash.

Fellow Jersey girl, rock DJ and all-around cool chick Jill has started her own blog that should be of interest to many of my readers — Has Boobs, Reads Comics. I’ve added her to my blogroll; don’t forget to check her out! (Disclaimer: This isn’t the Jill that posts here sometimes; this is another Jill. Although we still love and adore Jill v1.0)

I want to give some props to our friend Sara, who has started a film series in her (and the geekboy’s) hometown of Lambertville, NJ. You can see a free movie every Saturday night, and in the summer it moves to an outdoor venue. May’s schedule looks particularly fun — check it out here.
