New York Times Norris gets it wrong
This post can also be found at the Huffington Post After reading Chief Financial Correspondent Floyd Norris' blog entry in The New York Times last week it's easy to assume that he's suffering from some weird journalistic version of the Stockholm Syndrome. In his post, "Are Bank...

Read more10 Reasons Not to Buy the i-Pad
I don't hate Apple. I don't even dislike Apple. I have an i-Phone. I made fun of everyone I knew who had an i-phone ... until I got one, then I couldn't believe I had lived without one for as long as I did. But the i-Pad? The following was pasted from this article. Note: This...
Read moreJailbreak the iPhone or Not
I'm certainly not going to condone illicit behavior or suggest you do something that may void a warranty or cause the Mac police to storm your house like Israeli Special Forces at the airport, but I will tell you that (in my opinion) the benefits outweigh the risks if you're ...
Read moreCrucial Help for Homeowners Could Never See the L

Read moreWindows 7 Day 2
Okay, so I still got to bed at 3:00 AM, but I went to bed happy. Understandably it's still the honeymoon and considering most of Microsoft's products are released with thousands of bugs and they're probably already working on the next service pack I'm somewhere between comple...

Read moreHow to Ruin a Spammer's Day
So, I got one of those e-mails this morning. You know the kind that looks like it’s from a friend of yours, but it’s some d-bag that got a hold of your friends e-mail or your address book or Facebook friends and sends you a bogus e-mail as if it’s coming from your friend and they...
Read moreWhen Will They Call?
There are no two things more humiliating than interviewing for a job and dating. It’s not easy to be on your game, at your best, and on your best behavior for something that inevitably, at the end of it all, will strip you of your dignity and self respect. The night bef...
Read moreShaming the Shameless?

Read moreGovernment Tactic: Help the Banks by Lying to Home
Last April, when I was at Treasury, I told the Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, Diana Farrell, that the reports treasury was putting up on their web site touting the success of HAMP were crap. I said that in front of thirty people in a Treasury briefing room ...
