  • British kids are just cool…

    While this video isn’t so much a video as it is an audio track, it’s hilarious none the less.

  • Mint.com – Financies just got really shiny

    I know, the hype is over… Everyone else has already reviewed Mint. So what? Maybe I’ve held off on trying Mint.com for a while, I’m quite happy with my current financial management program, even if it is rather basic. Anyhow, I broke down, registered an account and gave it a try.

    Long story short, Mint is hot. But if you need a little bit more incentive to try it, here’s the break down.

    The good…

    • Slick interface, staring at numbers has never been more attractive
    • Wide range of banks and credit cards are support
    • Automatically downloads transactions and categorizes your spending (it’s not always correct, but you can easily change things)
    • Great range of information is available at a glance, you login and right away you can see the key numbers for all your accounts
    • Ridiculously easy to use

  • Could an unlocked iPod touch fulfill my portable gaming habit?

    I purchased a Nintendo DS about 6 months ago (when I realized I could play MarioKart whenever my heart desired). I’ve played some of the “best games”–according to the sales charts–the system has to offer.

  • Super Mario Bros. 3 for the iPod touch

    Super Mario Bros. 3

    That’s right, I’m running Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES on my iPod touch, how cool is that?

  • Passive Income – October

    At the beginning of last month I made a post about my quest to earn money doing nothing, or passive income if you will. Here are the results for the month of October, I made $63.19 in passive income, here’s the break down…

    • Interest: $11.13
    • Dividends: $13.22
    • Credit Card Rewards: $16.57
    • AdSense: $7.17
    • Text Ads: $15

    This blog generated nothing in AdSense income, which is sad, I also didn’t end up doing anything with Revver, so no love there either.
