My first major side project was http://gambolio.com - a browser based iTunes-style app for online games. Despite getting featured on the New York Times's website, the app struggled to attract many visitors.

So my wife and I set up a blog - http://casualgirlgamer.com - in an attempt to promote it. The blog has become quite popular - more than 100,000 uniques a month - and we're now focusing completely on the blog rather than the app we originally set it up to promote.

We're not yet making enough to give up our jobs but we're having fun and have high hopes.
