It’s Valentine’s Day. Again.
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
Once again the world is faced with a decision: chocolates which will induce the 'does this make me look fat' genes into firing off a slavo of loaded questions, or flowers...which will die? Either way, if you want to save a few bucks this year, why not get her something that will be far more valuable in the long run (and less troublesome)? Yes, you should buy her some gold.
I'm not trying to sell you any gold, although I probably should. I'm just doing my job to point out the idiocy of this whole VD debacle. You have one day out of the whole freaking year to tell/show someone that you care about them by spending your hard earned cash on something that will be absolutely devoid of value in days, if not minutes, and they raise the prices on you poor suckers who think that you can just get buy with showing affection once per year!
This is the part where I throw my head back and ROFL.
Of course, I'm not always doom-and-gloom. It just happens that VD is my least favorite day of the year. Yeah, it's a tradition.
But this year, thanks to those wonderful people at NeverblueAds, I have something positive for you. Actually, it's in their 'daily news' box, right there on the left when you sign in to your account.
What? You don't have an account with NeverblueAds? Perhaps you should check them out. Here's a link to NeverblueAds for you!
Anyway, here's their thing. Oh, and do sign up with NBA. They are a great affiliate program.
Neverblue's Valentine's Day Tips!!
1. Don't Forget!
2. Don't buy any kitchen appliances (or anything practical).
3. Do NOT do the same thing you did last year!
4. Don't break up with your significant other on this day.
5. Don't brag about how good your gift is, and DON'T get her a panic gift (she will know.)
6. Don't ever talk about your ex and what you did with them last Valentine's Day.
7. Have Fun!
8. Cook for her!
9. Anything personal is better than something material, because you don't have to spend a lot of money for it to mean something!
10. Always remember, be with the one's you love!

Encouraging Rebellion
This past weekend we had a garage sale here at the infamous garage. After the cash was split between the two parties, my wife came out with about $75 bucks (we didn't sell everything) and I gave her the $5 I made of my one sale. Not too bad.
But do you know what the best part was?
Some kids from the neighborhood were looking around at the miscellaneous computer junk I had out there, talking about computer stuff. They were all around 12 years old, give or take.
I heard some wise words of wisdom from one of them.
"Vista sucks!"
Right on! A smart kid! So what did I do to reward this knowledge?
I gave him and his friend each a copy of Ubuntu Linux.
Yeah, I'm a nerd. What have you done to encourage learning and education in YOUR neighborhood lately?

The Sims vs. World History
My wife made this video. I thought it was hysterical, so I'm sharing it with you.

Whoops! Ads4Dough Bungles Payments!
I just received this email, and felt that I should pass this along. I actually found it amusing, considering that I have an account with Ads4Dough, but have not used them yet. Also, when a company makes a mistake like this, it's somewhat comical. Unless you are one of the poor saps with the unsigned checks...
Wess,
We have mailed out the checks for the month of March. As this was a record month on the amoutn of affiliates we paid out, we tried to rush the checks and get them out to everyone in a timely matter, but have realized there were a few checks that went out unsigned. If your check is one of those. Please mail them back to us at the address below and we will sign them and get them back to you asap. I am very sorry for this inconvenience and we truely apologize if you were one of those affiliates who received an unsigned check.

Wow...that's just bad for business. But hey, people make mistakes (apparently in spell-checking as well).

My Top Ten Reasons To Work From Home
I often sit around and wonder how I can make my life better. We all want to be our own boss and live like we own our place of business, but for those that work from their own home, it's possible...and the DO own their place of business (with the exception of renters/moochers/underage entrepreneurs).
I thought that it would be a good idea to come up with a list of the best reasons I can think of to work from home. In no particular order, here they are.
1. You can spend all day not working - of course, this sort of defeats the purpose, but since you are your own boss, it's not like you have to worry about getting fired.
2. You can finally take a vacation - and mow the lawn.
3. You have absolute control over your work schedule - with the exception of whatever your wife tells you to do.
4. You don't have to sit in traffic - with the exception of the traffic jam your kid is creating with his Hot Wheels at the end of your desk, on the floor under your chair, on the stairs, in the dryer...
5. You don't have to share the coffee pot - that's right, a good buzz all for you. **Disclaimer - your spouse may re-arrange your work schedule if you take it too far, so be careful just to get that caffiene buzz in moderation...
6. No one will steal your stapler.
7. You don't have to worry about being late. If you ever are late while working from home, you have failed. Miserably.
8. No memos. TPS covers? Screw 'em! In fact, forget the whole TPS thing altogether.
9. You can take your firearms to work without being a police officer, or insane.
10. You can spend all day in a hypnotic trance thanks to zombo.com.
