I have a few mp3s that are more audiobook than music, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it out of my music library and into my audiobook section in iTunes. That is until I ran across this link which lead me to this script. It worked flawless and was awesome. Thanks to Doug for the sweet script. I had no idea that iTunes was that scriptable. I’ll have to look into other useful scripts for iTunes.

I’ve been looking for a nice little web app for my wife and I to manage our finances. I stumbled onto Wesabe a while back and slowly but surely been putting my financial info into in. it was OK, but seemed to be missing two important features: Auto upload (Please don’t make me login to my bank’s website… it’s way too much work before I even get going) and a simple budget so I can see how much $ I have left to spend (or see if I went over).

Wesabe knocked the first one out by throwing a firefox add-on our way that auto uploads your data from your bank. +10 for that one, guys.

Now with auto-uploads from my accounts to Wesabe, I was almost there… one glaring feature missing. Budgeting! How can I know if I went over my limit? Luckily I read a blog post about how “Jason” the CEO of Wesabe would be available on the phone for questions every afternoon, from 12 to 4 p.m. PST. Yeah right! I was finishing up my late lunch today when I thought - why not? I’ve got a question - how do I get a budget going?

I pick up my cell and after 2 rings I was talking to Jason… the CEO. Pretty cool. I ask him about how I can set up a budget to track my spending. He told me about a dropdown on the Spending Summary page that will let you set a “spending target” (come to find out that people don’t like the word “budget”… so they call it a “spending target”) This is exactly what I’m looking for.

My only complaint is that this feature wasn’t in the FAQ or in the sidebar for me to easily find - I hope they fix that. I thanked Jason and that was it. He said if there’s any other suggestions to email him.

Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I got my problem solved by speaking with the CEO directly. Imagine if you could do that with other company’s products.

Thanks Wesabe.
