Palm Treos

I have a Treo 700p. I've been using Treos since the 600 came out. I am thinking about upgrading to a 755p, but am not sure if I want to do this if there is going to be a new Treo out soon, and the new Blackberry looks kind of nice as well.

Does anyone have any advice or reviews of the 755 vs the 700?

Subprime Mess

This guy made like $4 billion shorting the subprime mortgages. Makes me kick myself... I saw exactly what was going to happen years ago, and it happened exactly as I predicted, but I didn't make a dime off of it.

If I'd known how to short subprime I might have been able to. That was a big roadblock. I still don't know how you short a market like that. You can't sell a mortgage short. Or maybe you can. I don't know.

I guess even if I had the money to have invested in this I probably still wouldn't have made a dime as I still don't know how you go about doing that, but I did have the idea. And seeing that other people made billions of dollars by thinking the same thing I did while I made $0 is just annoying.

Been a long time

Been a long time since I've posted. I wish I had more time, but with work and personal stuff I have negative free time. It's actually been over a week. I don't have much to say. The boss is out today so I have a bit of free time but not really all that much.

So consider this a bridge post until I have enough time to have something to say. There's a word I've seen used for things like this but I can't remember it. If I remember I will update.

New Study

Psychedelic drugs can have positive effects on people. As my friend who sent me this study said, "science is always the last to know."

SPAM Project

McAfee recently did an experiment where they provided 50 people with email addresses and had them reply to or click on every spam they got. Here is one woman's story of her experience.
