Tip #24: Some Applied Psychology

Posted by iheartthe4ps on Wednesday, October 15th 2008

So who’s heard of Maslow?  As in, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

Tip #22: Real Estate Getting You Down?

Posted by iheartthe4ps on Wednesday, October 15th 2008

I can’t really opine on the real estate market — though I do know that thinking about this whole ugly mess with the subprime mortgage lending crisis, speculation, structured debt sold to unwary and all too willing home “owners” by “predator lenders” just puts a downer on my day that not even a fresh warm [...]

Hey!  I’m excited because I discovered two great things today (the latter two which are mentioned) that will help me save, and I’d like to share them with you.

If you haven’t heard, the market has been tanking lately.  Just check out Bloomberg.com, NYTimes.com, or even an obscure publication like the Oklahoma News (aptly titled NewsOK.com).  [...]

Tip #20: The WWW and its Possibilities

Posted by iheartthe4ps on Wednesday, October 15th 2008

Tip #19: Simple Recipes, Delicious Food

Posted by iheartthe4ps on Wednesday, October 15th 2008

Many people are scared of cooking, and I think it’s because their expectations are too high.  They go to decent restaurants, and see a bunch of garnish and weirdly sliced pieces of meat, or just have a meal that’s so delicious (and undoubtedly filled with 3 sticks of butter, a pound of lard, and 3 [...]

Tip #18: The New Apple

Posted by iheartthe4ps on Wednesday, October 15th 2008

I love Apple and all (Apple computers that is, I have nothing against the fruit [best joke i can come up with today, sorry guys]) — but that company causes way too much drama.  Their innovation rattles markets and their back and forth with Microsoft with “I’m a PC” ads — to which Microsoft produced [...]
