The Flip Ship

Too cool.

I Should Write For the Economist

We seem to think alike on this whole Gore ker­fluffle. One minor cor­rec­tion, Gore’s man­sion is 10,000 SQ FT, not 20,000.  My bad.

Feel Good Story of the Day

Yes it’s sports but you should still go read it.

What Goes Up, Must Come Down

Or so the adage goes, though it cer­tainly looks like it may hold a ker­nel of truth when applied to the stock mar­ket. The DJIA crashes 400 and change today, the largest loss since the day mar­kets opened after 9/11. The Chi­nese mar­ket took a dump over night and that cas­caded through the intestines of …

Al Gore Responds (and Misses the Point)

Gore has responded and com­pletely misses the point, of course. First, the response: 1) Gore’s fam­ily has taken numer­ous steps to reduce the car­bon foot­print of their pri­vate res­i­dence, includ­ing sign­ing up for 100 per­cent green power through Green Power Switch, installing solar pan­els, and using com­pact flu­o­res­cent bulbs and other energy sav­ing tech­nol­ogy. 2) …

Definitions

In the dic­tio­nary (or Wikipedia), under hypocrisy, there should be a pic­ture of Al Gore.  I love it when rich lib­er­als preach to me about how I should live my measly life when they are burn­ing through more elec­tric­ity in a month than I use in a year.  That’s just awe­some stuff there. Lots of peo­ple …

Boring

Once upon a time, I think this blog was sorta, kinda inter­est­ing at least to me.  Now, it’s just boring.  To everyone.  Writ­ing is like a mus­cle, if you use it, it gets stronger.  If you don’t, it wastes away into the obliv­ion of things I seem inca­pable of express­ing because I don’t do it …

Thoughts on Investing

On my cur­rent read­ing list is The Intel­li­gent Investor and so far, I’m pretty pleased with it.  I’ve read the first two chap­ters and am already rethink­ing how I eval­u­ate stocks, bonds and investments.  The dif­fer­ence between invest­ing and spec­u­lat­ing alone is worth the price of the book.  In our cur­rent state of infor­ma­tion over­load, …

Excellent Customer Service

Lots of times on the inter­net, the neg­a­tiv­ity is over­whelm­ing so I view it as my duty to negate that a lit­tle every time I find some­thing pos­i­tive that is pos­i­tively shock­ing. I just got off the phone with Citibank. I called to opt-out of the bal­ance trans­fer checks that they send at least twice …
