I pride myself on being able to handle just about any situation thrown at me at work. There just isn’t anything worth getting upset about there. If I fail at something in my job, you will not notice, so therefore its just not that important.
This philosophy at work keeps me from ever getting […]

If you know what Facebook is then you might be delighted to know I now have a Facebook account. The link at the bottom should take you to a page to add me as a friend, but if it doesn’t, just search for friends using Weakonomist as a keyword.
Friend me on Facebook!
I’ll make a […]

I hope you enjoyed my book reviews. From the looks of things over the last week, you didn’t. No matter. I don’t do many book reviews. Of the 3 books I read this past week, only one is relevant to our subject matter, a review will probably show up sometime in […]

Hello faithful readers.  Today is Saturday August 2nd, and this post was written a few weeks ago.  For the next few days I’m going to be on vacation.  No access to computers, no internet, no blog.  Fear not my friends because I have created a small backlog of posts to fill the void while I’m […]

Usually I want my weekend editions to not have anything to do with money.  Today it is.  Andrew Horowitz (aka The Disciplined Investor) was presented to me by the wonderful personalities at TWiT.  TWiT is my 2nd favorite podcast behind Buzz Out Loud, both are technology related.  Andrew Horowitz is a money manager that wrote […]

Happy weekend to you all. I am having guests today and don’t have time to write much. This week was a big week for technology nerds like myself, Bill Gates has officially retired. Though he keeps a part time position with Microsoft and his billions, most of his time will be spent […]
