Wall To Wall Information About Flooring
Posted on October 15, 2007 - Filed Under Shopping | Leave a Comment
Have you ever heard of porcelain floors? I hadn’t until I came across the plethora of flooring articles available at DiscountFlooring.com. This is a great site that may as well be called “Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Flooring, But Didn’t Know Who To Ask?” In addition to hundreds of articles about all types of flooring, they offer more than 15,000 flooring products and, best of all, a local store locator service. So, if you’re considering new floors this…
The World’s Largest Artichoke - Castroville, CA
Posted on October 15, 2007 - Filed Under Road Trippin' | Leave a Comment
Z and I went artichoke hunting on Saturday morning. But we weren’t just hunting any ol’ artichoke… We were hunting the World’s Largest Artichoke! And we found it in Castroville, CA outside the Giant Artichoke Family Restaurant.
I’m a big fan of cheesy tourist trap attractions such as this, but must say this one was rather disappointing. First of all, it’s simply not that large. Sure, at 20 feet tall it’s bigger than the average artichoke you’d find at your local…
Does Hillary Clinton Suck?
Posted on October 15, 2007 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | 3 Comments
This has to be the most unusual paid to write opportunity I’ve ever seen. I’m actually getting paid to ask you to do the does Hillary suck? poll at RaterGators.com and express your opinion on whether or not Hillary Clinton sucks. Having never dated her I can’t say for myself
One would think that with a leading question like that the person who created the poll would not be a Hillary fan. But he gave her five stars on the poll,…

Anarchy Case Study - Somalia, Pt. 1 of ?
Posted on October 12, 2007 - Filed Under Anarchy, Anarchy Case Studies | 1 Comment
Part of the Anarchy Case Studies Series - Previous in series Next in series
I’ve been working on a case study of the anarchist “state” of Somalia for a couple of months now. But have been unable to work it all into a cohesive whole. There’s just too much data from too many sources to water it all down to a single post. At the same time, I don’t want to just give you a bunch of links to…
Friends Don’t Let Friends Make Bad Investments
Posted on October 12, 2007 - Filed Under Personal Finance, Technology | 13 Comments
I’ve written a fair amount about my various attempts to invest and/or save both for Z’s college fund and for my possible, eventual retirement. What I haven’t written about very much is investing in the stock market. That’s because I don’t feel my knowledge of the market is deep enough and none of my friends have even half the knowledge that I do. But now I’ve discovered MyWallSt.net. This is where Web 2.0 meets your local investment club.
