Want an easy $100?
Saturday, August 25th, 2007Ok, I’m a sucker for contests and free money. I’m even more of a sucker for contests that give away free money. I was turned onto Becky S.’s Preblogging website (here) after she posted a comment to one of my earlier posts. Since I’ve added her site to my blogroll, I’ve found many of her […]
CNBC Fast Money MBA Challenge
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007I used to listen to CNBC Squwak Box regularly in the morning via Sirius Satellite Radio. I stopped a while back, because while I do invest in the stock market (post MBA, I invest in index funds only) I’m not really a stock trader. Sure, CNBC’s got some entertaining shows like Mad Money with Jim […]

Google Street View, now in Houston
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007Today, Google added four new cities to its Street View option in Google Maps. The new cities are San Diego, Los Angeles, Orlando, and… yep, you guessed it, Houston! It’s nice to see the city of Houston in such good company. Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, ya’know? […]
My New Addiction: WeeWar
Monday, August 6th, 2007Thanks to the wonder that is InviteShare (http://www.inviteshare.com), I am now the proud owner of a WeeWar account. At first, it didn’t look too interesting. I mean, it’s just this little harmless little round-based strategic war game. No big deal. It’s got you, know, like 10 different units. And a […]
