Bankwatch bashes Vancity; I disagree
I heart you, Colin, but you’re wrong on this one. Banks and Credit Unions are getting all green over the last two years, and its becoming a fad. Maybe I am getting old, so feel free to call me out on this. I was surprised to see VanCity, whom I respect using what appears to…

MacGyverosity through PowerPoint
Well, I don’t know that my speech to Filene’s 30 Under 30 group was interesting, but I’m pleased with the way the PowerPoint itself turned out. Hope you like it, too.

On the cheap: Nursery Tree edition
For the last four years I was an entrepreneur; the four before that: a student. Thus I am always looking for cheap cost effective ways to decorate/eat/entertain. It’s a habit that will surely drive my children mad. Speaking of parenting, my wife and I have our first baby on the way. Last week we put…

Why Thwart Mediocrity?
Last week, Morriss posted an interview with me. Toward the end of our chat, I spoke about this blog’s theme. I turned in a half-assed homework assignment in the sixth grade. My teacher (more accurately, my mentor) asked me if it was my best effort. It wasn’t even close. She asked me never to show…

401(k) + Debit Card ≠ Peanut Butter + Jelly
Some things just don’t go together. I’d never heard of this before seeing it on Yahoo! Finance today. A spokesperson for the company offering a 401(k) debit card offers this, ahem, reasoning: “…the cards give people a sense of confidence and control, which in turn encourages otherwise reluctant people to participate in retirement programs, knowing…
