Curiosity (2012) – Carly Rae Jepsen: Catchy at its Finest
So, there’s this new girl in town. Her name’s Carly Rae Jepsen. She’s Canadian, and she just joined Justin Bieber’s new label…WAIT! COME BACK! I was kidding!
22 Days in Japan, Day 15: NaraI wake up a little after 10 o’clock on Day 15. I’m still in Kyoto, still in a ryokan called IchiEnSou. Unfortunately, it looks like everyone else left already. |
Dominion is this decade’s Magic: The GatheringI am not, admittedly, a huge board or card gamer. My collection consists of two different versions of Scrabble, a fifteen-year old Jenga set, and a Battle of the Sexes board game that was “left” at my house just before the owner moved to another state. |

Gaming Amazon EC2 to get more web hosting for lessLike countless others, my web sites are running under Amazon EC2, the cloud-based web service. It has been, at least for anything above the free “micro” tier, rock solid. But the costs are certainly not the cheapest cloud hosting around. How do you get around that? |
The Fidelity Investment Rewards Credit Card Gives You 2% on All Purchases. The EndThe world of 2% cash back credit cards is pretty small. The king of the hill used to be the Charles Schwab Invest First Visa, which offered a 2% cash back reward automatically deposited into a brokerage account. Unfortunately, late last year that card went the way of the dinosaurs. |

22 Days in Japan, Day 14: Kyoto, Kiyomizu, and KeshaThe day starts out like any other day, with me eating the same orange juice and pastry combo that I’ve been having since Day One (minus that one day I accidentally bought a curry donut). But it ends on a much higher note. |
11 Years Later: A Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review11 years. Not 11 years of development, but 11 long years nonetheless, for a sequel to one of the most groundbreaking 2D fighting game in the history of fighting games. |

The Art of the Arbitrage (or, selling stuff for more than you paid for it)One month before the Playstation 3 was released, I was lying on a blanket, camped out in front of a Toys ‘R Us. Excluding bathroom breaks, I’d be in the same spot for the next eighteen hours. But those eighteen hours would also net me more than 1500 dollars in profit. It was the start of my six-month stint as a full-time game console arbitrageur. |
Blast From the Past: 10 Must-Play PC Games From the ’90sThe roaring ’90s. Or was that the roaring twenties? Doesn’t matter. The last decade of the 20th century might have brought Hanson, Pokemon, and The Internet, but it also brought about the biggest gaming revolution in history. Also, Rush Hour, the best movie ever. |

How to Type Faster (with three fun games)I have a theory. My theory is Most People Suck At Typing. I lump that in with my other theories Most People Are Bad Drivers and Most People Are Lazy And Stupid. But those are posts for another day. Today’s post is about typing faster. |
How to REALLY Buy and Sell Stuff on eBayA long time ago, I was one of those eBay “scalpers” that bought Tickle Me Elmos and Nintendo Wiis, among other things, to resell them on the online garage sale known as eBay. It was a profitable enterprise, and even though the game has changed considerably since then, eBay is still the absolute best place to sell your unwanted stuff. |

Analyzing a Credit Card: A Review of the Citi ForwardThe Citi Forward credit card was recommended to me by a friend crowing about its 5% back on bookstores and restaurants. After going through the fine print I can safely say that there’s no 5%, but it’s still a credit card you might want to check out. Updated. |
