Protect yourself from check washing

In Asides, Money, Security on 5 January 2006 with 3 comments

I don’t know how often checks are being used, but this is a good read to help protect yourself from the practice of check washing. If anything, I think I’ll get a gel-based pen just for writing checks, as described throughout the article and conclusion. (Golf clap: Digg)

Bloglines Subscribe with Greasemonkey

Userscripts.org is a nice site for Greasemonkey scripts. I’m stoked because a script has made it easier for me to subscribe to Bloglines when a site has syndication feeds. (Golf clap: Kapil’s Korner)

Coldplay CD restrictions

In Asides, Music on 4 January 2006 with no comments

I’m glad I don’t like Coldplay too much, because I’d hate to support a band/label that has so many rules you’re wondering what you’re buying. I’m dumbfounded by it. Hit ‘em where it hurts: their wallets. You just have to read it – “Coldplay’s new CD has rules: No MP3s, no DVD players, no car stereos“

Itsa my birthday

It’s my birthday today. Wanna get me something? I need a new hard drive to replace my current old, bloated, and aged 60GB 5400RPM hard drive. (Yikes. Exactly.) Oh yeah, and a DVD burner, too. I’m lacking in a backup system. So…a Newegg gift certificate would be perfect! Just throwing this out there…couldn’t hurt, right? Whatever you give would be awesome – doesn’t matter, I’ll use it towards that. Oh yeah, I hope you had a merry Christmas!
