The true meaning of Halloween
Today is Friday. Today is Halloween. I’m lightening the mood of my blog.
Although you’ll see no badass costume out of me this year (last year’s Vanilla Ice), you will see my efforts towards making Halloween a memorable experience for all the kiddos in my neighborhood.
IMO Halloween is all about the experience, and mostly, all about […]

Protectionism is BAD
Last night Obama said he wanted to protect American jobs, penalize companies for “shipping jobs overseas”, and give money to companies who hired American. This is all protectionism and its BAD for the economy.
Sure he can give 100 sob stories about someone losing their job and how their 8 kids can’t afford to eat and […]

Racism and the White House
According to Gallup Polls,White voters are split on Obama v McCain, 44% to 50% respectively.
Black voters however, favor Obama over McCain 91% to 4%.
With 38 million blacks in the US, accounting for almost 13% of our population, and Obama’s lead at just 9%, is it possible that racism will choose our next president?
Keys to remember:
Racism […]

Current Position: Covered Call on SP emini
Right now I am long the SP emini with a sold 900 Nov call.
I bought the SP emini at 884.50 and sold the 900 call at 35. Right now I’m down a bit on the trade, but have a nice theta and my delta is only moderate.
I like the bounce play but want some free […]

Civil Disobedience Coming?
Obama scares the crap out of me. He seems to be totally in favor of socialistic economic policy, and today’s Drudge Report release of Obama’s 2001 radio interview solidifies that belief.
For the record, if Obama is elected, and has support from Congress and is able to significantly alter our economy to favor socialism, I will […]

Hard drive recovery update
As you know, my external hard drive failed recently—with all the digital pictures I’ve ever taken on it, and tons of video and lots of other documents.
I’ve decided to go with ECO Data Recovery.
I talked to people from them, Data Recovery Corp, and Drive Savers. Although I felt like Drive Savers had the best chance […]

The time is now to start a lean cash machine
We’re likely heading into a recession. Our likely next president’s likely tax hikes on the job-creators will likely push us further into a recession. So it must be a horrible time to start a new company or invest in one, right?
Not bloody likely. (”wrong”)
Andy and I started DaytradeTeam.com in 2000. We were giving stock trading […]

Advice from dad ignored
Dad always told me “Take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.”
This is fantastic advice. It always works, unless you forget to take it, like I did today/last night.
Last night I decided that today I would bike to and from work. I plugged in both addresses to google maps […]

Checking up on my friends’ politics haha

So far I’ve only had one surprise–one of my previous best friends is a registered democrat.
Find your state’s website, check up on your friends! Its fun!

Worst Sign Ad I’ve seen
It’s Friday, so I’ll keep it light….
I was riding my bike the other day, burning a few calories when I took a break to take a drink and noticed a sign:
If someone gets the point of the sign, and its not:
“We can’t do big jobs quickly”
“If you ask us to do big jobs quickly, you […]
