Weekend Links - I Want a Volkswagen Bus edition
Today, my wife and I drove 7 hours from nearly San Deigo back to our home in San Francisco. It got me thinking about the road trip in little Miss Sunshine where they take a Volkswagen Bus. If it weren’t for the gas prices it would be fun to own a Volkswagen Bus. I’m not the only one who thinks so though.
Steve Speirs, the guy behind the the hundred pushups phenomenon really wants a VW Bus. He’s trying to pull an Alex Tew, who started the Million Dollar Homepage. What makes this different? It’s […] -
Weekend Links - Late Disneyland Edition
These links are coming out a little later than usual. I had some Internet issues earlier today and spent essentially the whole weekend at Disneyland. I’ve got a big review coming up in a week or two. For now, let’s go with the links:

Reflections on Red Sox - Yankees (and some weekend links)
This weekend the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are getting together for another of their classic matches. (Having lived 8 miles west of Boston for 95% of my life, I fall heavily in that Red Sox fan club.)

Fans (including myself) often take the rivalry too seriously. You go to a game […] -
I Can Ride My Bike With No Handlebars (and weekend links)
Like almost all of my weekend posts, I try to highlight something that’s not necessarily related to personal finance. Maybe it’s a small detail of something that’s going on my life. Earlier this week, I was driving to the store to do some shopping and I heard an unusual song. It caught my attention because I would categorize it as rap, but I don’t listen to channels that typically play rap. Perhaps it’s a lot like one of favorite bands, Cake.
I went home and found the the video on YouTube. I showed it to my […] -
Links: Is Waldo and Harry Potter The Same Person?
Ever notice that Where’s Waldo and Harry Potter had striking similarities? Both characters were created by British authors, (Waldo is actually the US version of the original Wally). Both were featured in children’s books, but had their audience to adults expand to a point where they had sold billions of copies and lead to spin-offs of video games, magazines, dolls, and toys. They both pull of the nerdy glasses quite well. They have a signature striped piece of clothing, Waldo with his shirt and Harry with his scarf. They are never too far away from […]
