Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
I’m just recently starting to get excited about watching TV on the internet. There are a couple companies out there that are working on this technology, but I think one stands out more than the others. JOOST is being developed by the same guys that created Kazaa and Skype. They obviously get it. Skype has turned in to a killer app and it really didn’t take

Awhile back I posted about a supposed promotion at a California dealership by a guy named Glen Fergusson. The story went that Glen hadn’t been at the dealership too long and wasn’t very good at math. Glen supposedly gave away 18 Porsches before the owner of the dealership caught on, canceled the promotion and fired Glen. Old Glen was going to be in big trouble
I was browsing through personal finance articles and came upon this recent article by Rodney Sessions on net worth (in the Hattiesburg American).
