There are many reasons that I prefer Obama to McCain; but there’s one that I think no one ever talks about: Obama has fun. Seriously, you see the media coverage of him and he’s always smiling.  He seems like he is genuinely having a good time. To me, it dosen’t seem that McCain is loving [...]

I’m a big fan of HSBC’s online high-interest savings account. In part because there is an ATM right near where I work which makes for easy (and fast) transfers. Today, I was walking by my local HSBC and there was a table outside. I was curious and so I stopped and chatted. Turns out they [...]

As promised, today I will be starting a a series of posts I’ve written about how to travel cheaply. Over the [...]
