There are many things for which I should thank Jimmy Marks. Not the least of which is the following tweet:
News International Group has announced that it will start charging 2/week to access The Times and The Sunday Times online. While I’m not well versed on exchange rates, I’m pretty sure that 2 isn’t free.
FrugalDad retweeted a link to this video today. It made me think about what being remarkable means. Some of you will think that Utah State’s cheer is obnoxious. Others of you will think it’s the best thing since sliced bread. Either way, I bet it gets a reaction out of you.
Several weeks ago, I saw this tweet from a Jason Lindstrom (@cusperhero):
February 8, received an email from Tim McAlpine entitled “Gut Check.” He and DeAndr Upshaw had come up with an idea for a contest that, in Tim’s mind, could spell either professional disaster or endless entertainment. The contest was to encourage people to submit a music video about moving your money from a bank to a credit union, taking inspiration from General Larry Platt’s wildly amusing “Pants on the Ground” audition for American Idol. The launch of the contest would capitalize on the Move Your Money movement, which encourages people to ditch big banks for credit unions and community banks.
You would think that Atlanta Motor Speedway would have no trouble filling its stands for NASCAR events. Deep in the heart of racing country and one of the sport’s largest population centers, the track has nonetheless had some well-documented struggles with paid attendance. And on the heels of a surprising (and considerable) bad year overall for the sport, one would forgive you for being less than optimistic about the possibilities of a sold out Kobalt Tools 500 on March 7.
One of the most underrated aspects of being a parent of a toddler is having a legitimate excuse to watch cartoons. Tonight, I watched a movie called “Cloudy with a Chance for Meatballs.” If you actually want to watch the movie, skip the rest of this post because I’m going to spoil it for you.
I wrote a post called “Encouraging Disruption” for the Filene Research Institute blog last week. If you haven’t checked it out yet, see it here: http://filene.org/blog/post/encouraging-disruption. Read the rest of this entry »
Please help Jason Lindstrom get this ad placed in the Credit Union Times: http://twitpic.com/z403r
If 500 of us put $3.00 a piece in, we’ll have enough. Maybe the Credit Union Times will give us a discount on that ad price as well…
