I’m Reading…I was feeling really bad on Tuesday. A gorgeous lunar eclipse took place that was visible from most of Asia-Pacific, and even stretched to full visibility over California.

So sue me, I’m a romantic. Sometimes a person breaks free of every stereotype, every preconception, every burden that ties us down in this society. When they do, it’s our duty to celebrate that moment. This time, we’re not so lucky. Even Billy Madison was more articulate. Credit to Mr. Lilly on his personal blog.

These coins are actually dated June 20th, which is one of the earliest dates I have seen. Interestingly, the boxes for the Thomas Jefferson bank roll boxes are white instead of [...]

A little frivolous fun… I used the site Simpsonize Me, run by Burger King as a promotion for The Simpsons Movie, to convert two photographs of myself & Carolyn into Simpsons characters. Here they are. Too much fun.

I’ve been thinking a bit more about the volatility in the financial markets over the past two weeks, and I’m uncharacteristically concerned. Normally, this would be about the time that I would write a post repeating some of my favorite personal investment staples, like: Don’t try to time the market Diversify your assets across multiple [...]

Quick post, but if you haven’t checked out the new Starcraft 2 website, you are missing out. I’ve managed to successfully avoid getting roped into World of Warcraft, but I’m pretty sure this one has my number on it. I’m not sure exactly how I’m going to find the couple hundred spare hours necessary for [...]
