A couple of days ago, I posted about my daily commute. Now, I’ve got update what I said there. It seems that every week or so, the Long Island Rail Road is having problems. Today, there were signal problems on the Babylon line, not the line I need to take. Despite the problems being on …

Commuting…
So, I’m working in the city, but to save money, I’m commuting from Long Island. Each day, I take the Long Island Rail Road from Hicksville to Penn Station, and then take a subway to 42nd street, finally reaching my building on 44th. Each day, this trip takes a total of 1.5 hours each way, …
Review: Hawaiian Tropic Zone
I went to the Hawaiian Tropic Zone for lunch with a friend the other day, and this place is wonderful. Think of it as a higher class Hooters with the girls in bikinis. Now, the girls in bikinis isn’t the only reason to go, the food there is good. We were there for lunch, had …
Blocking Facebook Flyers
If you’re like me, you hate seeing ads on websites. (I’m sorry about the Yahoo ads here, but I need to make some money, if you block them, it is fine by me.) Facebook has its own fair share of ads, while not as bad as some other sites, they are nonetheless annoying at times. …
Chocolate
A new lunch place opened up recently very close to where I work; in fact it is in the same building as my office, just on the ground floor. The name is Free Foods and while it is not cheap, the food there is good. They have this chocolate brick which is excellent. It’s not …
Panera Bread Company
Back in sophomore year my first IAG presentation was on the Panera Bread Company (PNRA). Our pitch didn’t get the company into the portfolio, but over the next year and half the stock price almost doubled; it went from $40.13 in October 2004 to a high of $75 in March of 2006. Since then it …
Trading
On Monday I opened an account with Scottrade; I don’t have a lot of money in it right now, but I’ve bought a couple of stocks. I’m looking for long-term plays I don’t care about the day to day changes all that much. So, I’ve got $4000 in this Roth IRA account. Hopefully, I’ll be …
Stargate SG-1 Complete Series Collection
My box of DVDs arrived earlier this week; 214 episodes on 50 dvds, with 4 extra bonus dvds. This set is the complete SG-1 experience. I’m happy to say it has the full 90 minute version of Thread (Season 8), and the unedited (R-Rated) version of th Children of the Gods (Pilot). The show is …
Eyes
Eyes by Rouge Waves is an excellent song. It was features in a first season episode of Heroes, the fourth episode Collisions to be more accurate. It plays near the start of the episode during the montage sequence. This song is stuck in my mind, and I thought I would share the lyrics with you. …
Heroes
This is another one of those shows that my friends recommended to me but I never got around to watching. Finally, this past Monday I watched the most recent episode. Since I hadn’t seen any of them before this, I had no idea what was going on. Despite this, I greatly enjoyed the show, to …
