Alternative Income Streams – October 2009
With only a few hours left in November, I’ve finally got around to tabulating my Alternative Income for the month of October. It seems with the end of the year, traffic has picked up. Accordingly, I’ve watched my income this month, after taxes, jump to $1,909.82. I’d like to say that my traffic to How [...]

Battle in the Bayou (and Personal Finance Links)
While I should probably be looking for some Cyber Monday deals (other than Amazon’s Lightning Deals), I’m pretty entrenched in tonight’s Patriots/Saints game. For the seventh time this season, the Patriots will face an undefeated team, and three of those have accounted for all the Patriots’ losses. They all came down to the last possession [...]

Preparing for Black Friday
Are you preparing for Black Friday? I used to love getting up at 5AM and freezing my butt off to save a few dollars. My mom and I got her first computer on a Black Friday. I was also closer to 23 back then. Now at 33, my idea of fun seems to have changed. [...]

New Moon (and Personal Finance Links)
Today, I made good on my promise to take my wife to the Twilight / New Moon Saga. I’d put the first 25 or 30 minutes of the movie up there with the most boring of any I’ve seen. At least it picked up from there almost edging into being an average movie in my [...]

Amazon Friday Sale
The Amazon Friday Sale was a little weak this week. I usually find a few products, but with many repeats of previous products, I found only three noteworthy products. (I wish they’d get rid of the whole footware category. I know women like their shoes, but I’m not about to write about it.) The coolest [...]

Why I Don’t Buy Digital Media
[Caution, I'm going to get on my soapbox for this post. If you are not interested in soapboxes, I suggest you avert your eyes] Yesterday, I touched on the Legality of IPodMeister’s digitizer service. Bringing up the First-Sale doctrine opened up a can of worms in my mind. I love digital media, but I won’t [...]

IPodMeister: Trade your CDs for an iPod or iPhone… legally?
CNet’s Cheapskate Blog is one of my favorite sites for technology deals and very much a daily read. They recently had this article on iPodMeister. They provide you with the labels for free shipping. You simply pack up your old CDs and get a new iPod, iPhone, or hard drive. They’ll even send you a [...]

Belichick was Right (and Personal Finance Links)
Do we have any football fans in the house? If you aren’t a fan, just skip down to the links. If you are a fan, hopefully you caught the Patriots-Colts’ “Rivalry of the Decade” game. Whenever these teams get together it’s always comes down to the wire. As a Patriots fan, losing a game with [...]

Why the Google Admob Acquisition is Important to Me
Earlier this week Google made a $750 Million purchase of Admob a company specializing in mobile advertising. It surprised the market in two ways. It was Google’s 3rd largest acquisition (behind DoubleClick and YouTube) ever. The mobile advertising industry is fairly small at this time. However, Google is moving into mobile in a variety of [...]

Amazon Friday Sale: Angry Fashion Model Edition
Each week, I like to look at the Amazon Friday Sale and see what kind of deals or interesting products they are promoting. Let’s get right to the products: Interesting Product of the Week: 10″ Clip-in Hair Extension – I really don’t find the product that interesting. The photo of the model they used looks [...]
