People like Scoble still think Microsoft is going to drop something like $20 billion on Facebook. A site with maybe $0.2 billion in revenue? Yeah, okay. Aside from what I like to call the decimal-place-mismatch let me explain why Facebook is not worth that much and why Zuckerberg is not a billionaire.
We aren’t in a [...]

More active users attract more money (pageviews, clicks) via their news feed activity. In other words, if they show up in my feed and I click to see, we just helped Facebook earn money.

As mentioned previously, I’ve been doing a lot of driving thanks to my new job. When I was at a client’s site I was a “temporary contractor” so I parked in the front-row visitor spots every day. It was extremely convenient. Now I’m working downtown and parking is no longer free, easy, or convenient.

If you’re like me, you enjoy spending all your money using a credit card (bonus miles, reward points, easier to track, etc.). But, when month-end comes and you spent $1,200 of your $1,800 limit it’s going to look really bad on your credit score (because you’re using a lot of credit). Since I’m paid twice [...]

I’ve put it off for so long. I always know I need to get a shredder and start destroying some documents. With 2006 taxes coming up I have no need to hold onto 2005 pay stubs, I’ve already reconciled to my W-2s. I have no need to hang onto old University bills, credit card statements, [...]

I hate the (RED) campaign and everyone associated with it (both the consumers and the companies advocating it). Josh Spear has posted a neat little news clip about it. CNN says:
It has cost $100M to market the campaign while only raising $18M for charity.
No kidding? Get people to “give” more by spending more on themselves? [...]

Actually, I think the title should read more like: “budget your time nearly the same way you should be budgeting your money”. If you know me then you I’m a) an accountant, b) a big fan of personal finance, and c) looking for new ways to be productive. I’ve found a secret I’ll share with [...]

Are you an entrepreneur looking to really get things started for you and your company (idea)? Luckily theres a group of investors and mentors in Boulder, Colorado here to help you this summer. Announcing, TechStars 2007…

Well, the fun has come to an end. The lifestyle that comes with “Winter Break” is now out the window. I’m now back to an alarm clock, driving in traffic and having responsibilities. That’s right, I’m back to work (school starts next week). While I sat thinking about how much I don’t want to go [...]

You may not realize it but your money right now is worth much more than you could imagine. What if I told you it was possible to turn $14,000 into $1,400,000 with no effort? No, this isn’t a scheme and this isn’t some trick. It’s called the time value of money and the time dimension [...]
