When I first started blogging about personal finance, my obsession quickly shifted from personal finance to blogging itself. I used to obsess over the amount of traffic, the number of clicks, and the number of comments. I would monitor my Alexa ranking every day to see the downward trend. I would …
My Sincerest Apologies To Mark Zuckerberg
I've been kinda hard on Facebook recently and most of it has been unwarranted. Facebook has lost about half of it's value since it's IPO earlier this year, but who's fault is that? The people that have been most affected by (and responsible for) this drop have no affiliation with the company. Mark …

Rise of the Female Trader
There's a warm place in my heart for infographics. Infographics are to the 2000's what countdowns were to the 80's and 90's. It doesn't really matter what it's about, it's interesting. I used to watch countdowns about Lindsay Lohan's Favorite Party Spots. If I saw #10, I would have to see …
