Becky from My Organized Biz just posted a great article about napping (my personal area of expertise… har har har… I am holding my side). Anyways, there was actually a research done which determined the best times to nap. Check out the article!
Laundry Digression

Filed under Business
So I was sitting in my room, quietly working on some Statics problems when I heard gush gush gush gush gush… boom boom boom boom… click click click… someone was doing his laundry. It is kind of frustrating because one of my roommates in particular lacks much-needed clothing. So I was talking to my other roommate and he said “Well, he just doesn’t ave many clothes.” Fair enough – a reasonable assumption. Well that got me thinking – what justifiable proof should I use to convince him to get new clothes (because I get tired of hearing the wash every …read more
Facebook Down – LinkedIn Up!

This week, Buzz Networker posted an article on Facebook’s traffic going (by 10%) down and LinkedIn’s going up (by 400%!). Several years ago I wrote an article on a website regarding Facebook’s changes. It was so epic, one of the founders of CollegeHumor.com even responded. I have since forgotten what, exactly, it was I said… but it went something like this – there is a fine line between “enough” and “too much,” regarding changes in websites and businesses. When I posted the article, Facebook was introducing feature after feature – it was incredibly overwhelming! However, people took the bait!

Thanks to everyone for another great month – I hope we can keep it going next month! The only disappointing part was the lack of an interview, but we have all of next month to get that out of the way. Remember to enter in the We Don’t Need No Education Contest!! It can be free money! I want some feedback from you on what you want to see more or less of. Remember to not hesitate to email me or leave a comment (as brutal as it may be).

Rebate Meme
March 30, 2008 by Jim Gordon
Filed under Business
So I was tagged for this rebate meme by Kelly at taxgirl.com.
1, If you could do whatever you wanted, how would YOU spend your $600?
2, Is that the same or different from how you actually plan spend it?
1. I am in college. I think about my IRA, I think about my 401k, and as long as I understand it when I get a job, I don’t see the harm in having fun with my money while I’m young and stupid. What would I do? Well… I would buy some Cuervo, a video game or two, some gas for my car, …read more
