For some people, credit cards are useful tools. For others, they’re a gateway to debt. My first step toward controlling my spending was to cut up my credit cards and move to a cash-only system.

During my nine years ...

Hey girls, can't decide whether or not to wear that midriff-bearing shirt out to the bar tonight? No worries, simply don this Venetian blind T-shirt and yank on the fully functional string when Joe Hottie walks by. Sure it's ridiculous, but it's also one-of-its-kind, and available only at art museums for the time being. Just don't be too peeved when some drunk mistakes your shirt for an actual window and pukes all over your chest. ...

Due to the sweltering heat, when I needed to get from downtown to Hollywood today with my bike, I opted to take the Metro and save myself from a horrid sunburn. Now I’ve taken my bike on the train in the past and not including people who are traveling with me specifically, the most other bikes I’ve ever seen is probably 3. Today I saw 7. SEVEN. But it wasn’t just that, the folks with ...

It seems like more people that I talk to are finally getting the same feeling that I've had for a while: Amazon's MP3 store is kicking iTunes' ass. iTunes is of course still by far and away the industry leader, but I haven't bought a piece of music there in quite sometime and I can't see myself doing it until it is at least comparable to Amazon's service.The iTunes store offers more convenience as it's ...

Initially, the site will launch an edited news aggregation site (similar to the main Huffington Post web site) localized for the US metro area around Chicago, Illinois. The site will be managed by a single editor to start. "We are aspiring to be a newspaper in that we ...

Of all the AP quotation commentary floating around in the last week, I think possibly the most effective point came from [edit] a certain well-known conservative author [/edit] who, by the AP's own scale, claims she's "owed" some $130k for unauthorized quotes and excerpts from her blog.

MSN has abandoned (for now) its plans to shut down the DRM server for MSN music. Back in April, Microsoft announced that people who bought DRM-crippled music from MSN would lose the right to play it the next time they switched PCs or reinstalled their OSes. Now Reed Savory reports on this email from MSN: Dear MSN Music customer, On April 22, Microsoft notified you that as of August 31st, 2008, we would be changing ...

There's a lot of grumbling and retorting about the AP's attempt to, then sort-of retreat from, making bloggers either paraphrase or take down their pickups of material from the venerated wire service. But there's a more immediate problem that runs deeper than complaints from bloggers like Michael Arrington, Jeff Jarvis or Jeff Nolan.A few weeks back the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, on "On the Media", talked about how newspapers in Ohio were reaping ...

The very first trailer for David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has finally debuted online! This first played in front of showings of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so I'm sure most people have at least seen it once, but you must watch it again. This is undeniably one of the greatest trailers I've ever seen in my entire life. It's up there with the first trailer for 300. ...

On Saturday, thanks to the awful flooding of Iowa, the Iowa Cubs played in front of zero fans in a 5-4 win over Nashville. The flooding has killed five, displaced thousands from their homes and caused millions of dollars in damage. Therefore, Black Heart Gold Pants, an Iowa football blog, posted a video the Des Moines Register had shot with flood footage, and encouraged readers to donate to the Red Cross. Then matters got weird. ...

Pandora’s internet radio has always been one of those sites that was really cool in concept, but too inconvenient to ever go mainstream. The service was long tied to computers only, and while it eventually expanded to special internet radios and some mobile phones, it still has yet to become a household name. But with the launch of Pandora’s new iPhone app last Friday, it looks like the service is about to hit critical mass. ...Shared by Aaron (2) Aaron (3) adam (728) adam (0) Adam (2) Adam Fuhrer (53) AdiR1 (7) Alard (5) Alberto (2) Aleksander (5) Alex (3) Alex (8) Alex France (139) Andrew (13) Aravind Jose (0) Aron (10) Art (19) Aspi (12) assbach (15) Austin Brown (4) awouda (0) Ben (6) Benjamin (824) Blackmail Is My Life (3) Boris (0) brad (12) Brenton (5) Brian (62) Brian (1) Brit (23) Cai Chen (777) Calvin Robinson (6) Cameron Yeager (12) Ch (79) Chad Jaggers (5) Chance (22) Chip (5) Chris (0) Chris Fuller (1) Chris Heath (4) Chris Moritz (0) Chris Olson (1) Christian Postier (2) Christopher (26) Chuck Rogers (7) Chung (111) Connor (6) Crutcher D (27) Dan (2) Dan Kearns (14) Dan Serfaty (14) Dan Sheppard (3) daniel (10) Dave (4) Dave Koss (30) David Wallace (11) David Wegley (0) Dechsiri Ulit (0) Digg Boss (641) DigitalMike (55) Dominic (1) doransky (22) dr1ft (8) eeenmachine (0) Eli (0) Ely (9) Enoch Lai (0) Eric Atkins (7) Eric Carlson (7) Ethan (0) Evan Sims (25) evo (0) Felfoldi (3) Gajolo (0) Gemstar38 (64) Glenn Batuyong (50) guttertec (37) Handy Lukman (1) hankfdh (3) Henry Webb (0) Hervé (16) Hillary Hartley (6) Howie (0) iAdramelk (0) J (7) Jacob (15) James (18) James McQuillan (3) jamesjbigler (5) Jamie Diamond (1) Jamin (12) Jason (0) Jason Prance (0) Jay (1) Jay (5) Jay Francis Hunter (0) jayman16 (54) jeff (4) Jeff Gorndt (26) Jeffrey (4) Jennifer (1) Jimmy (14) joe sokoloski (1) joe torres (12) Johan (14) John (16) John Jorgensen (30) Jonathan (16) Jonathan Sterling (8) JonMoss-theappleofmyi (30) Jordan (271) Josh Kaplan (14) Jrod (58) Katrina (12) Keith (3) Keith B (3) Keith Bradbury (3) Kevin (2) kevin oshea (9) kmohr25 (16) Leena (820) Lev Cantoral (2) Luke (7) M-Lo (0) madhavaji (0) Mark Gibson (3) Martin Angulo (3) Matt Paul (4) Matthew (4) melmyfinger (15) Mich D (157) Michael (13) Michael (27) Michael (1) Michael Krenz (0) Mike Pruett (31) Mikey (30) Min Liu (2) ModernBizzle (2) Mr. BabyMan (249) MV (22) Myles (0) NasirJumani (125) Nate (28) Nathan (0) nathos (2) Neal (16) Nigel (0) Nik Outchcunis (5) nparker13 (67) Owen E.
