Well, it’s true. A guy ran into the backside of my car with my and my family inside. Everyone was ok for the most part. The youngest was drinking from a straw in a water bottle and it cut her lip a little bit, but nothing serious. A travesty to […]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #20 (March 8, 2008)

This week had a lot of ups and downs. CNN posted a pretty sweet article on timing what Uncle Sam gets but Brett Favre hung up his cleats also. The weather was sunny in the Pacific northwest for the first time since the rain started back in May, so that’s a good thing…

Will Brett Favre’s Retirement Make The Stock Market Take A Dive?

Brett Favre announced his retirement yesterday leaving several die hard Favre fans unable to deal. Emotionally, these people should be very worried, but that isn’t the half of it! Financially, the US economy should be the ones that are taken aback by this news!
Below here is a VERY scientific graph I dug […]

Hanks Weekly Hangouts #19 (March 1, 2008)

I churned out the new version of M.I.B. this week and I’ve got to admit, I’m pretty impressed with what Jon was able to cook up. He’s got the design down pat! Love his work and if anyone is looking for someone to help with their design, let me know because I’m happy […]

Weekly Roundup #14 (January 26, 2008)

Photo by: meyshanworldThis week wasn’t so great - the stock market was down, so investments were down, and on top of it someone broke into my car and stole my stereo, DVD/TV setup all while tearing up the inside of my car. Ugh, that’ll hit the ol’ expense book and will hinder the 4k […]

Photo by: matangueroThis week I found myself fighting back the elusive CPU quota exceeded errors I was getting from Bluehost.com because I was getting a lot of hits from the Magic Quadrant of Personal Finance and “Why is it taboo to talk salary?” posts I tossed out this week. I like it because of […]

Networth update January 1, 2008 (+2.02%)

Looks like I’m starting off the new year relatively clean; up 2.02% from December 2007. The house is still flailing a bit and my bet that Dodge & Cox (DODFX) would payoff for my new 401k allocation - The wifes 401k, on the other hand, stayed in REREX and the ol’ target fund TRRDX […]
