I do not make money from this blog. Never will according to my family and friends and haters (family and friends) who read. But wait – an opportunity! Please buy all future golf goods through any of our GolfNow.com websites. You can click on Golfsmith – a great golf web retailer and new partner. That …

I went to Brokeback Mountain on Valentine’s day. Now that is love. That beats any crap my brother-in-law is giving. I might as well review. It really sucked. Who cares about this kind of stuff. Heath Ledger could have been played by a grizzly bear. I did not understand a word he said. Bigger problem …

Skype – homerun, Vonage – seeya!!! Henry Blodget sums it up perfectly below. Like recent IPO’s CROX (of shit) and Under Armor (odor), Vonage will be a stinker as a public company down the road. By the way, I just bought the most awesome Nike shirts for half the price it would cost for an …

Jeff Matthews implies that like any marketplace, parabolic growth is not sustainable: Google: “Thesis Schmesis” Far and …
