Some folks may notice that I changed my mind, and completely removed a controversial post.

Some of those blogs suddenly started experiencing the dread “blank [...]

I still can’t believe that WaMu (Washington Mutual) wasn’t delisted entirely from the markets, but it’s still trading on the pink sheets. AND I’M NOW THE PROUD OWNER OF THIRTY SHARES!

I’m attempting to buy a couple shares of WaMu stock ahead of their total delisting from the NYSE. I’ll post further as I have more details.

I like baseball, as those of you who know me personally know well. It’s pretty much the only sport I care about, and the only one I bother watching on television.
A few months back, I got the bright idea to try MLB’s Extra Innings package, thinking I’d get to watch games out of market at [...]
