I tell people that I only paid about $10K for my Corvette, and as you can imagine that gets some interesting looks. The follow-up question is generally along the lines of, “How can I do that too?”
Here’s how.
You find a stock like Oracle. Buy and sell at the points marked. Take your capital [...]

With a diesel truck there’s not much of a choice as far as which fuel to get. A Corvette engine, on the other hand, is tuned for 93 octane gasoline but there are other options available. I’m still putting 93 in mine, but from what I understand the computers in the C5 engine will change [...]

I work in the IT industry, and one of the columns that I used to read was the “Robert X. Cringley” column in the back of Infoworld. One of the “Roberts” that used to write that column now has a blog, and he often posts interesting information.

LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux, who had legal and disciplinary problems throughout his college career, was kicked off the defending national championship team.

He’s in, no he’s out, no he’s in again. I’m talking about Ryan Perrilloux, part-time starting QB for the LSU Tigers football team last year. According to this article he is off of suspension but not yet practicing with the team. This is the third suspension for Ryan. The first was because he [...]

… what folks will be interested in on eBay. Some years back I purchased a kit of PIAA 1100X driving lights for installation on my car. It was the “thing to do” back then, as the PIAA lights were much stronger than the standard fog lights. I ordered the kit, looked at all [...]
