Yahooligan!

  • I did it.  I uninstalled the Google toolbar and installed the Yahoo toolbar (beta version with tabs and such).  I feel like a new man.  It's like having a do-over.  A fresh start.  (I'm exaggerating, but giving Yahoo a chance.  So far, so good).  I have it customized even.  (I'm a "power user."  LOL)
  • One of the way mortgage brokers are trying to get folks into homes, is the 40-year fixed loan.  This results in a lower monthly payment, but stretches the debt along for another 10 years beyond the traditional 30-yr fixed.  I've heard some say that it's just ridiculous and that folks will never pay off their homes.  But isn't the average time folks live in their homes before selling about 5 years?  What's the difference on the amortization tables over 5 years on a 30 vs. a 40?  I'm guessing out loud here... Not much?
  • I don't know what the odds are of my 3000 song MP3 player playing the same song back-to-back while set to "random play," but it just happened.  Maybe I should go buy a lotto ticket or head to the Indian Casino.  Or maybe it's just that my MP3 player sucks.

  • Barry Bonds on steroids?  Barry Bonds' steroid use began in 1998 and continued through his 73-homer season, according to an upcoming book.  Some sports TV guy covered this allegation earlier, and was showing pictures over Bonds' career.  Said Bonds has a "pumpkin head" now.  Hah.
  • Miami Dolphins released Junior Seau...
  • Still working on a stock scan for small caps.  Eh, uh, eh.  I've been real busy at the Fun Factory, which has recently been bleeding into my home life.  Not much time outside work to do much else.  Including working on a small cap trading system.   (I have the Black Box for market trends, my big caps and ETFs.)  I know the saying that no one should take work home with them, but that's kind of who I am.  I always do things full blast.  And I'm totally engaged here at work, so it's a part of my life.
  • (Well, I do find time to do the important things like watch 24 and American Idol.  Although for the latter I do have the PC on...  And I am behind in The Apprentice, Battlestar Galactica and Saturday Night Live.   I may have to get a bigger hard drive for my PC to hold all those recordings!)
  • Eh, uh, eh.  I'm leafin' work...
