How it works: You go to https://www.copilot.com, enter your name, and get an invitation code. You then download and run a tiny piece of software. Tell your friend the invitation […]

Early this week Shoemoney predicted that Yahoo’s stock price would decline after a negative earnings release. He predicted a 5% decline, which Yahoo surpased Tuesday afternoon in after hours trading. It was down to $18.72 which made it a $2.09 (or 10%) haircut. I used to own Yahoo back in the glory […]

We saw Cloverfield tonight, instead of watching the end of the Patriots game.
I thought the film was great. But the shaky camera technique gets a little tiring after a while. I saw that some theaters are posting warnings at the ticket counter. My wife got sick watching the movie. She said […]

Just a few months ago I told a co-worker that I was waiting for MySQL to go public. Now I will have to buy Sun Microsystems Stock (again) if I want to own a piece of MySQL. Here’s the story… Sun got a GREAT deal. I think MySQL would have been […]

Congratulations to LSU and the state of Louisiana!
And they only had to play 8 ranked teams to get here.
I was extremely nervous about our chances after LSU gave up a 65 yard run to Ohio State on the 3rd play of the game. And especially after LSU had a bad snap and […]

Tonight’s the big game. I’m very nervous about LSU’s chances against Ohio State. Most people believe it will be close, and that LSU will win by a few points.
According to the sportswriters, Ohio State has something to prove after being embarassed by Florida during last year’s Championship game.

This morning I found out about WantsForSale.com. This is another one of those ideas like Million Dollar Home Page. The owners of the site are artists from New York. They create paintings of items they want. Then they sell those paintings for the price of the item they painted. So […]

A few days ago Pool.com caught a three letter domain that I was interested in. Since I’m used to bidding on ebay, I waited to the last minute to place a bid. Unfortunately for me, the Pool system adds 5 minutes to the auction end time if the price changes. This gave […]

It is that time again. Time to come up with resolutions that will only last a month.
My main resolution is to kick the Diet Coke habit again. I’m going to do Steve Pavlina’s 30 day trial. That should be easy enough…
In other news, I read this interesting post from Zed Shaw […]
