This is actually news from last week, but Google announced that they are repricing their employee stock options. John Batelle has fairly representative coverage on his blog. His post cites coverage from Adam Lashinsky at Fortune (a personal favorite as a journalist) with a fairly typical dig on the issue. Here’s the actual quote: One [...]

I have to say, I am completely uninterested in the inauguration “event” that is going on right now. Then again, I’m not really into the Academy Awards either. My guess it has something to do with the amazing amount of real work to be done, and the amazing amount of time, effort and money being [...]

I know I posted on this topic last week, but I thought I’d add an update after the big Battlestar Galactica debut this past Friday. Interesting to see how frak parties everywhere translated into traffic. So far, despite the debut on Friday, it looks like my traffic may have peaked yesterday, on Saturday. 5380 hits [...]

The US Mint has announced that the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Gold Coin will go on sale at 12:00pm EST on Thursday, 1/22. It’s unclear what demand for this coin will look like, given its price. (Likely $1200). This announcement reflects the new US Mint pricing strategy for precious metals – basically a [...]

This is one of those quick posts that I write hoping to save others a lot of time. For the past two weeks, I’ve been trying to diagnose and fix problems I have been having with my external 1.5TB Seagate Freeagent Hard Drive. I use the hard drive as my iTunes library, which I drive [...]

I haven’t posted here to date on the Bernie Madoff scandal. No sense writing a huge amount on the topic at this point – it’s been well covered elsewhere. Let’s just summarize my feelings as: We will never see an end to Ponzi schemes, because they work. This exposes some of the flaws in the [...]

My brother dropped his iPhone in the Pacific Ocean. An original, $399 iPhone. Needless to say, saltwater does not do good things to an iPhone. It doesn’t boot anymore. No recourse with Apple or AT&T. He had to get a new phone. As a result, I ended up with my own variant of Pierre Omidyar’s [...]

I can’t help myself really. What’s the point of putting advanced search operators in the new LinkedIn Search platform if no one knows about them? So I have a new blog post up on the LinkedIn corporate blog: LinkedIn Blog: Advanced Search Operators for the LinkedIn Pro If you are curious, but not curious enough [...]

Can you tell that Battlestar Galactica starts its final season in just ten days? You can if you look at my blog stats… Over 200 hits to the post “The Fifth & Last Cylon” yesterday alone. I’m even getting referral links from O’Reilly! Love it. No matter how I try to diversify this blog, ever [...]

I had one of those “delightful” newspaper moments today. I was going through my Sunday morning ritual, page-by-page through the Sunday New York Times, when I happened upon an interesting editorial in the Week in Review. The article itself was interesting, but likely one I would have ignored in the online version. (It’s still one [...]

Had to share this small gem of a find. It’s not one of my normal RSS feeds, but my wife forwarded me this article from Mom Gadget: Mom Gadget: MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin – Double U – Tee – H (Turns out, the reason she asked me to look at it was to translate the [...]

Caught this article on Seeking Alpha on Wednesday on the problems with using inverse ETFs. It reminded me of a topic that I’ve debated quite a bit with Elliot Shmukler over the past two years, and have been meaning to write about here on the blog. Since I haven’t commented much on personal finance topics [...]

Thanks to Lawrence, Ryan, JSTN. while (days > 365) { if (IsLeapYear(year)) { if (days > 366) { days -= 366; year += 1; } } else { days -= 365; year += 1; } } For non-programmers out there, this is what we like to call in technical terms “an infinite loop”. This code [...]

This is a fun post going into 2009. Freakonomics pointed to a great piece at the British Medical Journal (part 1 & part 2) which goes through a fairly large number of medical myths that are widely believed, but that we now know to be false. No sense going into 2009 repeating these falsehoods. Although, [...]
