  • 10:42 @jayrosen_nyu I love the phrase "Stand Alone Journalist." What's the difference between a blogger and a SAJ? #
  • 11:12 What is a Stand Alone Journalist? @jayrosen_nyu defines: journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/weblogs/pressthink/2005/04/21/nol_stnd.html #
  • 11:13 @wtxcg Very kind. To put this in perspective, if I had an A-List, I wouldn't put myself on it. #
  • 14:16 @lenire Looks like Google may have solved the "Internet appliance" problem. Wonder if they'll play nice with the Apple tablet... #

  • 13:08 Listening to the Rocky IV soundtrack again after 24 years I can admit, "Burning Heart" and "Hearts on Fire" are pretty much the same song. #

I just lost $2.51 playing the market

Way back in 2003 I opened a Sharebuilder account and bought $20 worth of Wells-Fargo stock. It was supposed to be part of a cool automatic investing program that let poor people buy microshares of stock with payroll deductions. In practice it was a lark that I threw $20 in and forgot about for 6 years.

Today, my $20 of Wells Fargo is worth $17.49. I just "sold" my stock (minus a $9.95 commission) and am wondering how soon I'll be able to spend the $7.53 that I was finally able to extract from my $20 savings program.

So basically my $20 saved in 2003 netted me $7.53 in 2009. This savings thing is expensive. I should have just gotten some credit cards.

  • 12:36 I thought it was lame at first, but I'm really digging this Retweet button. #
  • 18:21 Spent a couple hours on campus and it really is shocking. Somebody spent some serious $$$ on this place since I saw it last. #
  • 18:28 Lou Dobbs leaving CNN? Easy guess is that he's about to join Fox, but he sounds like he wants to run for office. #
  • 18:47 Would it really be so bad if we surrendered to the Visitors? I mean, they're not gonna eat ALL of us. And not right away. #

  • 09:38 @hmorrell Not that much change, I'm afraid. But my plane ticket options may be expanding. #
  • 14:07 Or maybe I'll wait another day. Sigh. #

  • 16:35 Took the afternoon off, was in a car with 3 bottles of wine and 2 friends I haven't seen in 15 years. Editor called me back in... #
  • 16:36 This #trick or #treat thing is just a meme, right? #
  • 16:38 But now I have cheesecake, so it was worth coming back to the office... #
  • 16:45 Enjoying the slap-fight between @jayrosen_nyu @michaelscherer. The funny thing? They're both kinda right about each other. #
  • 16:45 @jayrosen_nyu is a bit of a bomb-thrower but sometimes you have to blow things up to make room for new construction. #
