Tara and I visited Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles over the weekend. We left Friday evening and returned Sunday evening. It was a welcome respite from our labors although when you go on vacation with someone you are already around 24/7 you get on each others nerves still. We had fun and went hiking, kayaking, biking and ate lots of food.
In my humble opinion here are a few business models that are just plain evil:
-Lottos. They are a tax on poor people who are bad at math.
-Government. They don’t care whether you want their services or not, they will hold a gun to your head and force you to buy anyway.
-Cigarette sellers. Addiction is a powerful creator of demand and can make you rich, but killing a generation of people with cancer for profit is disgusting.… read more “Evil Business Models”
Jordan and I played flag football this morning and took turns catching and throwing touchdowns to each other. Jordan threw for two touchdowns and caught one and we accounted for 39 points total between us.
Today is a sad day as I part with my 1999 Ford Contour that has served me well for the last six years. It is only the second car I have ever owned.
The Contour is in good hands now though since I have sold it to my friend Kenny Cornutt for $800. He wanted a beater car for his long commute so he didn’t put so many miles on his Mercedes.… read more “End of An Era: Ford Contour Sold”
Chevron, Exxon and other oil companies got together to defend their public subsidies on Capitol Hill today. Nothing makes me more sick than companies that make enormous amounts of money polluting the envioronment and supporting dictators like those in Saudi Arabia…. and do it by taking billions in handouts at taxpayers expense. All of the small businesses like mine have to pay for these scam artists.
I spent Saturday night in San Diego with Nick F., Kyle, Brian H. and Kenny C. We had a BBQ, played Wii at the University Club on a 110 inch TV and went to a rooftop club. Today we played tennis and relaxed.
Based on Scott Porad’s post about how Google Chrome uses your browsing history to try to auto fill in your address bar, I decided to post my top suggested websites per letter too. I cleared my browser history & cache about 2 weeks ago so there isn’t as much info to go on here:

I had my best game yet in my Tuesday nights basketball league. I scored 15 of my teams 35 points and grabbed a bunch of rebounds!
Sadly, Tara has yet to have attended a game. If I had a cheerleader, Id play better more often.
It’s ridiculous that unemployment is so high. Unemployment is held artificially high by the government paying people to stay at home and “look for a job” aka play with their playstation and eat doritos.
Anyone who spent 3 months retraining themselves in basic web programming would be able to find a good job super quickly. Most people would be willing to do this if it wasn’t for government unemployment checks.… read more “Unemployment Numbers a Joke”
Calzones Pizzareia in San Francisco tastes worse than the Olive Garden and costs twice as much. Tara and I came here with high hopes and have been sorely disappointed. We are sitting here right now and groaning that we ordered a bottle of wine and feel trapped. Never go to Calzones Pizzareia in San Francisco.
Frozen pizza is better than the dried out prosciutto pizza I ordered at Calzones Pizzareia.… read more “Calzones Pizzareia in San Francisco”
