Nice day to attend a wedding, isn't it? Thanks to our friend Robert at The College Investor for highlighting us as a top-19 Investing blog.

That was one of the most interesting weeks for civil liberties in a long time. As you know from last Weekender, our friend Derek Khanna was leading a media blitz to promote unlocking cell phones. It coincided with a petition to get the White House to take up the unlocking issue - which we're happy […]
Since everyone is in the mood to discuss IP issues this week, let's shift gears a bit to mobile hardware (literally? Your cell phone). Actually, scratch that - back up further. Let's talk about Michelle Rhee, Hollywood, and the Republican Party first. When most people think of "The Party of Hollywood," their thoughts turn to […]

Remember my dog ate my blinds? It ended up being a $270 chew toy - thanks to Blinds Chalet for the quick turnaround on some 2" faux wood blinds. 4 blinds replaced in total, including the beastly window you can see on the left of the right frame: No one is happier than my neighbors […]
