I am trying Mint for personal finance planning...

One of the things that I thought might be interesting is it’s ability to help me pay less in Credit Card fees.

So I was excited to see my first “offer” was related to a Credit Card deal.

It makes ZERO sense though.

I had to post it here since their “Help” comment form doesn’t seem to allow attachments.

I can’t tell you how many times I see this kind of wierd disconnect on website copy. I think this is one of the reasons I like the DIY websites better. You cook it yourself you have pride of ownership. Not to be too glib though, I’ve been a party to mistakes like this too. I hope they can fix it, as other parts of the app look worth sticking around for, but this “save money” feature may be just too noisy.

Fake Band Social Media Site - Figment is Live at http://www.figment.cc/

So for the last two and a half years a close friend of mine and I have been working on a labor of love that is finally live.

It’s called Figment, and it’s a game for people that like to make up fake bands.

It was certainly a lot of work creating it, and now that it’s in actual use, it’ll be nice to see where it goes from here.

Now I just have to get all my fake bands into it

What a friend of mine did for her Christmas Vacation

This visit to the lava flow on Volcan Pacaya in Guatemala was the highlight of her two week trip to Costa Rico and Guatamala.

I can understand how that would be a highlight.

Did you know that the liquid magma in this video is between 700 and 1300 degrees Fahrenheit?
