Couplethink redefined
Couple/think is losing the / and is currently going through a major image rehaul! We’ll be back soon with more witty, informative posts (we like to think so, at least) and a new look. It’s all about branding, isn’t it?
Our favorite personal finance blogs: Get Rich Slowly
Sometimes the name really does say it all. Get Rich Slowly is one of the most widely-read personal finance blogs out there because it provides advice for all of us from an everyday kind of guy. The blogger, J.D., doesn’t have a secret agenda to promote some side business, book or other project. He’s completely [...]
Our favorite personal finance blogs
Today, we are kicking off a series (our first) spotlighting our favorite personal finance blogs. While we are by no means experts in this arena, after you take a look at the series of blogs we profile, you will certainly be enlightened in all things money.
When I first started my search for unbiased financial advice [...]
Facebook follow-through
Although I’ve used the site for years, Facebook continues to amaze me. We all take mental memory lane trips every so often and remember the one friend from 10th grade that convinced us to skip class and hang out at IHOP. Not too long ago, the best the Internet had to offer a wannabe private [...]
Format war fallout
Don’t tell anyone, but I have an HD DVD player.
I know it’s embarrassing, but it’s really not my fault. It was a gift, two years ago nonetheless. And it’s just an add-on to my Xbox360, so at least it’s not an expensive standalone player. At the time, I thought it was great–we could finally really [...]
Reality taking a nosedive
Lack of good, consistent programming or problem with commitment? Well, when it comes to my television viewing habits – it may be a little bit of both. Reality shows have taken over TV Guide – American Idol, Survivor, Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars, Top Chef, Hell’s Kitchen – the list goes on forever. I’ve [...]
A glimpse of Glass
I expect it has happened to all of us who listen to music on mp3 players–someone asks, “What are you listening to?” On the occasion the music selection is totally unexpected you get the delayed response of, “oh, ok,” and that is that. Chalk it up to another strange response from a person who doesn’t [...]
The value of blogrolls
A good friend of mine recently told me that he doesn’t know what to look at or where to go when he surfs the Web. I think all of us have suffered from information overload syndrome when it comes to finding quality content on the net. Google searches and Yahoo! home pages can only take [...]
Mini-masterpieces of film
Movie trailers, at least the good ones, are mini-masterpieces of film. Sometimes the series of trailers before a movie impresses me more than the feature presentation (should have listened to Rotten Tomatoes on that night!). A really great trailer (ala Dreamgirls) can inspire me to look up the film on IMDB, visit the official movie [...]
Twitter followers: who are you?
Last summer, I discovered the social media app that’s still making headlines - Twitter. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this chat-driven site, it’s similar to Facebook status updates, but on a much bigger scale.
You develop a list of friends, post short text updates and participate in a constant steam of chatter that [...]
