Moving the blog over to Tumblr. Kind of over hosting my own domain. Please let me know if the commenting system over there sucks ass. I’m assuming that all of ya’ll use a RSS reader so hopefully you’ll just have two clicks to do…

Yay for November t-storms!

I think I like this color … and the squared-off wheels … and the new front-end.

So it’s only $400 for 4WD. Big question is if the GPS is worth it.

David Thorne didn’t have the $233.95 to pay an overdue account. So what did he do? What any other budding young genius would do, he submitted a picture of a spider he drew instead. Unfortunately, Jane Gilles, who is clearly a mega-bitch to the nth degree, wouldn’t accept it. So what happened next?

If you’ve got a few minutes, you’ve GOT to read it!

And just like that, my AMEX Blue went from being my #1 favorite card to being filed in my desk drawer at home. It’s not even worthy of wallet space anymore.

That sucks. I know that they’re about to go bankrupt, but I seriously move about $2,000 a month through them just on daily shit that I pay off at the end of the month. Even though I don’t always carry a balance, they make a nice chunk of change in merchant fees.

As much as I love them (and Jesus do I love them), I’m not going to be using a 12.99% APR card when I have so many other 9.99% ones (for the times I do carry a balance).

Update: After an email exchange with AMEX, they ended up not raising my rate, .. the actually lowered it quite a bit, so as usual, AMEX remains as my favorite card to use.

Oh, only my jail-broken iPhone. Yeah, I think I was the only one left the world who hadn’t done it yet. Could it be any simpler?!?!
