"Nice job! I used to keep a spreadsheet just like this, but I wanted a way to update it instantly w/ my phone so I built myself a little web app called (MyBeerShelf)[http://www.mybeershelf.com]. I know there are sites like Untapped, but I wanted something that wasn't so much a social network and more of a utility for logging and discovery. I really hope this was appropriate to mention. I didn't come here to post this but I saw your spreadsheet and thought this was kind of relevant and others might find it useful, so I apologize if anybody thinks it comes off kinda spammy. Any other Redditors are welcome to use it and I'll be glad to build features anybody suggests, just request a beta key and I'll approve it right away." - Tom Harrison

"Some friendly advice: 1. Multiply your prices by at least 10. A) you'll never pay the bills with prices that low, and B) potential clients may not take you seriously. 2. Don't publish your pricing. Even if you work at a set hourly rate, every project is different. You have no idea how long a job will take and what it will cost until you work out the details with the client." - Tom Harrison

"+1 for giving up the soda. I grew up drinking it with every meal but gave it up when I moved away to college in order to save money on groceries. 10 years later and even if I am surrounded by people drinking soda there isn't even an inkling of temptation, not a thought in my mind. It's one of the best health-related decisions I've made. RE: diet soda, I'd rather just drink water. I don't crave the taste of soda so drinking it would be pointless for me. Perhaps synthetic sugar is debatable, but I just don't feel good after drinking the stuff." - Tom Harrison

"I tried it for a while, wasn't really into it. Maybe I'll give it another shot at some point, but I like the simpler method of going out and beating one goal." - Tom Harrison

"I'm in the same boat: would like to be able to run well, but I'm terrible at it. I just started going out for 2.5 miles 3x week, running a portion and walking the rest. Every time I go out, I run farther than I did the previous time. Went from a quarter mile to a full mile without stopping in 4 weeks. After I finish increasing my endurance to the full distance, I plan on shifting the goal from beating my distance to besting my previous time." - Tom Harrison
