Get Me To The Greg Secker Forex Trading Seminar
25 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments

25 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
I know we did this last week, but this is unfortunately the reality of the hour that one officially applies the Cape Town Friday Rule. It’s called habit, and there’s no better way to form a habit other than through repetition.

25 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Fidel Castro has popped up in public to remind us that he isn’t dead yet, and to let us know that he isn’t in charge of the Cuban Communist Party. And hasn’t been since 2006, when he let his brother take over. Fidel didn’t realize that it might be cool to let people know that it was permanent.

I am, on the whole, reluctant to write an article that does exactly what it says on the tin, but Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so it seems worth bringing up. Mel Gussow, the New York Times critic who put together the Liz Taylor obituary, passed away six years before she did.

Shatner is 80!
23 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
When I was about seven or eight all I knew of William Shatner was that he was the voice of “Rescue 911”. In my ignorance I didn’t know that he was the first captain of the Enterprise, nor did I know he would one day become everyone’s favourite misogynist, Denny Crane, on “Boston Legal”.

Smart Wristwatches, Not Just In The Movies
21 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It was a matter of time before the wristwatch had its biggest redesign moment since the croc-like invasion of the big-faced bling disaster that took hold and made hipster fashion designers rich.

This has been generating some online discussion – a video of a dude hijacking billboards in Times Square using an iPhone 4, a transmitter, a balloon and some tape, like a geeky MacGyver. The feeling at the moment is that this is a publicity stunt, but if so it’s an awesome-looking stunt.
