Prometheus

So I saw Prometheus this past Sunday and was very disappointed. Yes it was a good movie but with all the hype and viral marketing leading up to it, it was a let down. That being said, Noomi Rapace was hands down the best part of Prometheus. Ellen Ripley and Leeloo Minaï Lekarariba-Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat combined!

TheOatmeal

So, I just learned of this going on with the The Oatmeal. Go read about it, and give a buck or two.

Last year I wrote a blog post about another website called FunnyJunk which stole a bunch of my comics and hosted them on their website without giving me credit.  They apparently didn’t like my blog post and recently FunnyJunk sent me a letter stating that unless I pay them $20,000 in damages they’re going to file a federal lawsuit against me. You can view the letter along with my response here.

Amish Money Secrets

  • Next, consider the experience of Bill O'Brien, a local banker who has issued $225 million in loans (mainly for real estate purchases) to Amish families over a 20-year career. How many of these loans have resulted in a loss for the bank? Zero. And he can count on one hand the number of Amish borrowers who have ever asked him for a loan extension or modification.
