- a discussion of the economies in MMOG’s (Massively Multiplayer Online Games, you know, Everquest, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, etc.)
- more book reviews
- hopefully more leet food (cheap, nutricious, […]

On a Lighter Note…
Art imitates reality, or reality imitates art?
Saw this in the grocery last night, cracked me up. I guess it’s at least good that the marketers for shampoo are trying to lighten up the situation that is the stress of credit card debt.
In other news, on the radio this morning, they talked to a guy […]

Followup to “Hidden Nature o’ Money” Discussions
Last week, we spent a substantial amount of time talking about the hidden, secretive nature of money.
In reviewing the posts it occured to me that while it can be useful in some contexts to go on and on about describing a problem, I personally was doing very little to actually alleviate the problem. I […]

Sad day
My prayers go out to the families of the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings. I seriously considered going to school there. If you have friends or family in that area and the phone lines are jammed up, use text messages as they are more likely to be able to go through.

The Hidden Nature of Money - Part Two - The Ring
Two days ago, I opened up a particularly large can of worms (or “barrel of worms”, depending on your preference). We’re discussing the cause, the effects, and the motivation behind keeping financial matters shrouded in secrecy - even from those closest to us.
Today, on my favorite radio station, they had a particularly notable woman […]

The Hidden Nature of Money
This week on CMJ we’re going to discuss the secret nature of money. By that, I mean the social aspect to financial matters in the U.S.: don’t ask, don’t tell, when it comes to debt, spending, net worth, and salaries.
I recently finished a book entitled Green With Envy: Why Keeping Up with the Joneses […]

Ahh, the Whole […]

freefood: Ben and Jerry’s, April 17th, 2007, 12pm-8pm
Oddly enough, over the last three months its been brought to my attention on six different occasions that various food establishments are having some sort of free offering with no/few strings attached.
Most of them have passed, but given the amount that sneak beneath the radar of your average person (myself included), I thought I might […]

How NOT to do finance.
Well, despite my attempts to the contrary, I have become vested in the dang Final Four. But probably not like you would think.
The radio station I listen to in the mornings, Q100, had a call from a listener on Friday that really sounded almost too crazy to be true.
The caller was engaged and was […]
