Found this on Lifehacker today. This dude, Jeff, has reversed engineered what looks to be the best pizza I have ever seen. I will definately be cooking up some of this shiz when I get back from Mohn-reeahl.
I enjoy partaking in the viewing of live music, but I also like to know about what’s coming ahead of time so I can stew about it for months before hand, to ultimately be let down if the show proves lackluster. While you may know about Pollstar I find they are usually fairly incomplete, and a few days late in their listings. Not to mention pop-ups and banner ads…. But if you live in Canada, and want the skinny on concert listings I recommend checking out Canoe Jam! While the name may be lamer than lettuce in a bag; it does have many a concert listings, well in advance, and does not contain any garbage, making it an ideal site to get hyp-ah! Not to mention props you can garner informing your peers about the next time their favourite band is coming to town. On that note look out Brandon Manitoba!
Not that I need and excuse, but now I have one…Drinkers make more money. I guess all those hard nights and harder mornings have finally payed off.
OK.
So my girlfriend and I have decided that in a years time we would like to be moving into a house. In what will be the first of a (hopefully) series, I will divulge any tips / tricks and steps I learn along the way. (more…)
I have been on a quest as of late to master my finances, as such I have run across quite a few good sites. Here are some in no particular order: (more…)
Three months ago my television went up for sale at the purge for dollars a.k.a garage sale. After a fielding a few offers, scoffing a handful of barters, and performing a technical demonstration, it went, and I had 30$ more in the garage sale float.
This morning I finally paid off my credit card. I am now trying to decide whether to:
A) Save 30% of my monthly income for a house
B) Increase my student loan payments
C) A combination of both.
Keeping in mind that I want to buy a house in a year…. (more…)
I just checked my inbox and BAM! There is a notice that Shadow has a new ablum out called The Outsider. It seems like he’s not really trying to hard though. Gone are the multi-layered productions of sample on sample on drum on sample, instead you get far less complex production with vocals that don’t carry the weight. Where’s the flow? Cut Chemist’s Album was at least his first try, Shadow has no real excuse.
Track by Track impressions after the jump: (more…)
Traineo.com is a site dedicated to allowing it’s users to track there progress and workout goals through a very simple interface. Keep track of current wieght/BMI, workout intensity, and diet. One of the sites main focus seems to be recruiting “Motivators”. Motivators are basically a buddy list of fellow Traineo users that are notified of your progress, and vice versa. There isn’t a whole lot of versatility yet, but keep in mind it in barely a month old, with new feautres being added all the time. I have been using it for the past month and it works pretty well to keep me on track. Check my profile out if you’d like
Business-Boy is what it is. It will hopefully be a semi-regularly released magazine type deal. And just like every other magazine it will have its particular niche audience, and that is about it. While the site may have some other bells and whistles the primary focus will be on the magazine.
What nothing new and earth shattering?
Nope, not really. It is mostly just the same ol’ same ol’ from a different view.
While I could just keep posting to this blog, I suppose I just wanted something more tangible, less personal, and something where some more thought and time goes into the editing process. As well, the magazine format seems more conducive to collaboration…there are many a business-boy in the world today.
In the meantime though the blog will have to suffice. So might as well use it:
Cheats:
- If you have no brown sugar and you want to make cookies, or anything else that may require brown sugar, mix molasses and white sugar.
- If you’re +1000$ in your bank account put all/most of your money into President’s Choice Interest Plus account. 4% interest AND an annual bonus is a pretty good deal. I’m sure ING Direct is cooking up a huge counter offensive. Don’t get too pumped though, banks still make all the money.
- Whenever you are in a place that is not your home town and has non-Hallmark type greeting cards, STOCK UP! They will no doubt come in handy at some point and always go over better than the run of the mill basura, que Hallmark hecho.
After much frustration magpi should be available for checkout shortly. It is currently being imported to the SVN repository and will be available for checkout using:
svn checkout http://magpi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ magpi
Some notes for people having problems performing an import to a Google hosted repository ensure when you are performing your initial import you use https, their FAQ simply reads :
“How do I import my existing source code?
I’m hoping to host our super secret software project on Google Projects, so everyone can have access and a hand in developing it. (secret’s out!) But alas it seems Google Project is on the fritz at the moment.
So since that is a bust here is this:
1) If ever the need to rent formal attire arises, and shoes are part of the deal. A prudent move would be to purchase a cheap pair of Dr.Scholl’s (or some other brand) footbeds, or something similar. Prometheus pays off!
2) If you are coming from a Java background and want to program in Ruby, and you want to do a null check on an object instead of doing the old tyme comparator:
This will be “the blog” (ARRRRG! I LOVE IT!) for the business-boy.com main site.
