“Save money on high rate balances”, the envelope screamed. Just “0% APR on transferred balances until January 1, 2004″, it continued. On and on it went:
It’s not every day you get a card like this. A card that saves substantial money in interest, giving you more cash left over each month. You’ve been invited to [...]
I was perusing eBay earlier this evening when I came across a listing selling 102 acres of land in New York for somewhere in the financial vicinity of $60,000. Out of curiosity, I clicked the Display Map link which generally opens up a map of the parcel, or the town or at least something nearby [...]
The first-ever series of layoffs I experienced resulted in me scouring the Internet high and low for seemingly reputable inexpensive online insurance brokers. I settled on ehealthinsurance.com and went through a fairly easy application process. That was a year and a half ago.
Since I have recently been placed in the same situation, I went back [...]

The intranets, every single one of the dozens of them, were worse. My task to consolidate, reorganize, redesign, and reinvent these [...]
Today marked the final day of cleanup of the World Trade Center, and once again we were subjected to 24-hour coverage of reruns of the crashing planes, the fireballs, the falling towers, the choking dust storms generated by cascading debris. Speech after political speech. Endless statistics of the numbers of missing people and unattributed body [...]
First, there was Survivor. Then came Big Brother, the Mole, and the Amazing Race. The reality TV phenomenon continued with Fear Factor, Murder in Small Town X, and Temptation Island. In what is becoming a saturated genre, do we really need the Anna Nicole Smith Show?
A weekly half-hour show, debuting sometime this summer, will chronicle [...]
There are days when I just don’t like Microsoft. There are days when I hate Microsoft. And then there are days like today when words utterly fail me. What the $#^%$@#$ is wrong with Microsoft?!!
