There are Now Over 10 Million Millionaires (Worldwide)
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Yup, you read that right — the number of millionaries worldwide surpassed the 10 million mark. And that’s WITHOUT home values factored into the equation.
Update 6/25: Just imagine what the number would be if it included home values. For instance, real estate assets such as Trump’s Palm Beach Mansion are a considerable piece of many [...]

FriendRank
Monday, June 23rd, 2008FriendRank is certainly an interesting concept, but I’m not sold. At least for me, seeing an ad with my friend’s face on it would NOT make me more likely to click on the ad.
Are you Good at Sales?
Monday, June 23rd, 2008I hope Hillary is because I’m thinking this is a tough sell.
I got my $600 Economic Stimulus Check
Saturday, June 21st, 2008I’ll be the 1st to say I think it’s a stupid idea for the government to give everyone $600. The US is over 9 trillion of dollars in debt, which comes out to roughly 30k per person in the US. And then we decide to add another $600 per person to that debt? This financial [...]

Friday, June 20th, 2008Though I’m more of a cat person, my friend brought THIS to my attention and I thought the picture was too cute to not post.
Another Great Game. This One with an Unfortunate Ending
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Damn — the Lakers pulled it off tonight.
Yes, Paul Pierce, KG, and Ray are unbelievable players, but I really have to wonder where the Celtics would be without James Posey? That guy is unbelievable. His box score numbers don’t stand out, but the guy plays amazing defense and is always in the right position for [...]
WOW, What a Great Game
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Celtics 97. Lakers 91. The NBA Finals doesn’t get much better than tonight’s Lakers-Celtics game.

MLB.com has Crappy Customer Service
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008You might have seen this post where I alluded to the fact that I’ve had a crappy experience with MLB.com. Over a month later, I have STILL not been able to watch a single baseball game on MLB.com. I just tried to turn on the Mets-Giants game a couple minutes ago, but no luck — [...]
I have New Hope for This Country
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008I was absolutely thrilled tonight when I opened up CNN to find out that Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee for the Presidential Election.
Congratulation Barack!
