Thanks for hearing out my frustration with the fantasy teams last weekend - I won in both leagues!  Now, of course, I'm paranoid - was that a false start to lull me into a sense of security to get blown out the rest of the season? Never a dull moment... (I know, 2 Weekenders in […]

My fantasy football teams?  Not living up to the hype so far - I'm 0-3 in one league and 1-2 in another.  When do you all start trying to make some pivots?  Week 4?  6? Here's what we liked this week! Links We Liked! The WSJ repots people are moving out of high cost states […]

Stop what you're doing and visit The Earth Awaits: (Bookmark it too.  Go ahead, I'll wait.) Made by our friend The Frugal Vagabond, The Earth Awaits uses Numbeo data and other public-facing data sets to give estimated lifestyle costs for the entire world.  It's no joke; go poke around with the tool and see what […]

Weekender to Weekender!?  What's the deal? Yeah, give it a few weeks - the site isn't going anywhere (you folks made us too popular for that to be an option, haha - thanks!).  The current real life interference will only run for so long.  That's a promise. Note my Twitter production has declined as well. […]

Since we don't have the Olympics for an excuse now, it's a shame there hasn't been a Weekender lately.  Let's correct that with a quick roundup of all the stuff we've been reading in the last little-bit-more-than-a-week, shall we? So, here's what we've been reading.  Let us know what you've read recently in the comments! […]

Happy Summer Olympics 2016! Did you, like us, stay up for the entire opening ceremony? We're going to be either glued to the television or, at least, have it on in the background for Olympics time... so, through the 21st I guess it is.  Good luck to all the athletes! Here's something funny, since rugby […]

Heads up to all our readers - the site will be down for approximately one hour at 1:00 AM Pacific Time/4:00 AM Eastern Time (UTC 9:00) Sunday morning.  We're moving from the 2GM RAM VPS to a 4GB RAM VPS thanks to Webfaction upgrading our plan. I'll increase some of the caches once the site […]

Okay, call it a two week roundup - we had another one of those "vacation" type vacations with our daughter a couple weeks back. (Shouldn't have joked about it in the recent vacation post!) I know; I owe you a weekender - so enjoy this packed one.  Let's kick it off with some folks playing […]

Happy Fourth of July Weekend!  (That goes to our non-American Readers too, all 20.79% of you). What have you got planned?  BBQs, families, blowing things up?  Watching others blow things up, possibly in the air?  Doing something on the water?  Let's hear it! Links We Liked! At Priceonomics, a study of the proportion of revenues […]
