  1. Moola Invites

    I have two invites to a very cool website. It’s called Moola and it’s very simple: you get a penny (real money) to play against someone else with a penny. The winner of the game wins the other person’s money. So, if you win 30 games in a row (.01, .02, .04, .08…) you can [...]

  2. Media Relations

    If you’re still not sure about the power of bloggers please familiarize yourself with this Apple court decision. Then take a look at this question from a recent acquisition FAQ: Personally I’ll file myself under ‘Analyst’. It just rolls off the tongue a bit better…

  3. X-Men 3 Review

    Not too shabby. The acting was a bit corny. I realize this movie has to cater to the lowest common denomenator. You really didn’t have to think much, it was all handed to you on a platter. Not only do they hint at something once, but they make sure to revisit it later in case [...]

  5. Office 2007 Beta Review

    Three words: it doesn’t print. At least… not correctly. it’s like Word zooms in 300% to the center of the page… and prints that. Honestly, how do you fuck up printing? The print preview looks great. Then you hit print and go back to preview and it shows you what just came out of your printer: [...]

  6. Office 2007 Beta Available

    Quick! Go download the Office 2007 beta. You can test every Office product. Personally, I’m just downloading Office Professional Plus and Visio for work. Naturally I’ll try everything (especially OneNote) at home tonight. So far it has a user-friendly application called ‘SmartSource’ which gives you everything you need to know (including the product key). I [...]

  7. Office Activation Number

    If you’re trying to activate your copy of Office 2003 by phone don’t try the 509 number. It’s since been disconnected. I don’t know anyone who would go for a long-distance number but I figured, hey, maybe I’ll get faster service than if I called the toll-free. How quickly I learned…

  8. Becoming Indispensable

    The following are some ways to “become indispensable” according to Dr. Wayne Boss and myself. These concepts were collected by him and later recalled by yours truly. If you classify yourself as an entrepreneur you might (read: will definitely) disagree with many of these points. Seth Godin asked what it would take to become indispensable. I [...]

    Senate says English is national, unifying tongue The Senate agreed on Thursday to make English the national language of the United States and moments later also adopted a milder alternative calling English the country’s “unifying language.” (Source) Wow, now people can’t keep touting that stupid “there is no national langue” argument. Well… if it makes it all [...]

  10. Grade Report

    I like to play with numbers. Good thing I switched my major to Accounting, right? In any case, what’s one of the most important numbers to any student? That’s right: their GPA. A few semesters ago I sat around wondering what my GPA would look like if I were to get an ‘A’ in X Class [...]

    I submitted my site to be considered in the 4th round of applicants to 9rules. Everyone who applied should comment/trackback here so I can make sure my site is better than yours… err, so we can all check each other’s sites out (because face it, not everyone will get in). [tags]9rules[/tags]

  14. Weekly Schedule

    You may or may not remember this productivity tool I’ve created. It’s simple, really. When I originally posted about it I wasn’t sure how I’d even use it and what the best methods would be. Now I can confidently share my Weekly Schedule tactics with you. I’ve done some measuring and discovered the amount of time [...]

  16. Dell Doesn’t Suck

    …when they want to get your money. A few weeks ago I was mailed a coupon for $50 off any computer system over $800. Plus, I’d get free ground shipping. Dell saw me coming a mile away. I’m sure I was flagged “addcit” once I bought two LCDs and opened a Dell Preferred Credit account. Rightfully [...]

  20. FlipClips

    I found a fun site earlier today: FlipClips.com. Simply upload a video less than 30 seconds long and you’ll get a flip book of your video (for only $9). I can think of numerous clips of people falling that would perfect for this!

  22. No Gas Day

    Noah approached me with an interesting idea: No Gas Day. It’s simple, try your best to not use gas on May 22nd. That’s the day Noah has chosen. I think that one day isn’t enough, think of it as January 1st: it’s a day to make a resolution. Starting May 22nd I resolve to use [...]

  23. Finals Story

    One more year finished. I had my last final on Tuesday morning… at 7:30. Just thinking about it made me think, “wow, that sucks.” It was my database class, too. It certainly wasn’t at the top of my list of priorities since I’m pretty proficient at Microsoft Access. In any case, I got a friendly [...]
