Uncrunch America with Change.org
While most blogs are probably planning their New Year’s Resolutions, I’m taking action. I just voted to support Uncrunch America campaign in Change.org’s Solving the Credit Crisis From the Bottom Up. That’s quite a mouthful (or is it ten-fingersful since I’m typing?). Allow me to explain a bit.

2008 Goals: A Look Back
Yesterday I got a little ahead of myself as I looked at my blogging goals for 2009. I should have realized that with the dwindle hours of 2008, I should be looking back at my goals for 2008, and adjusting from there. I haven’t looked at them in a little while – [...]

Brief Interview With a Visa Representative
You may have noticed a new sponsor lately. Yep it’s Visa. You might recognize them from such places as the logo on the cards in your wallet, and the signs on a door of a shop. In fact it’s just about everywhere (you want to be) ;-). Anyway, I found [...]
