Osama Bin Laden has been killed by US Forces in Pakistan. A big Thanks from Texas to all those soldiers that were involved.

I've been using dropbox for over a year now and it is great. Looks like Amazon has gotten in on the game also with Amazon Cloud Drive. Storage starts out at 5 Gigs and looks like the next option up is 20 Gigs. And if you are already an Amazon.com customer (who isn't) you've already got your 5 free Gigs.

Check it out at Amazon Cloud Drive I know I will.

Was checking out Greg Mankiw's blog and found this post interesting. Gives some more insight into how the govt thinks. I at least I would have failed a class if I had thought this way.

Having problems with Drupal Clean URLs working on XAMPP? I had to add this to my \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xammp.conf file: 

Alias /ameratravel-dp "D:/vhosts/mow_drupal/"

<Directory "D:/vhosts/mow_drupal">

  AllowOverride All

  Order allow,deny

  Allow from all

</Directory>

I'll find the link for this later.

Down to the last week of being an undergrad (finally). Was done with classes on Saturday, now just have to get done with the test, and pass them. Now I'm kinda in the "Now What" stage again.

I've been studying for the LSAT but I'm not anywhere close to being ready for that. So I'm going to put it off for a little bit and get more comfortable. I can do the work, but put the clock on me and I'm dead right now. Gonna start studying for the GRE and GMAT also, just to keep options open on graduate school.

Ok, have you ever wanted to check out a course at MIT, Harvard or Berkeley? Or do you need a refresher from that calculus course from years ago. Well here is your chance. Came across this site some ware and it was book marked immediately.

The Economics section is just kick a$$, check out the game theory course.

Ok, it's been awhile since a post. Get back up and running with a link to the Wall Street Journals Top 25 Economics Blogs. I'm gonna have to add some of these to my web haunts.

Texas Rangers are up by a game (2-1) against the Yankee's in the American League Championship Series. Cliff Lee absolutely dominated the Yankee lineup last night. I don't know if the Yankee's gave up in the 9th last night but it was blown open for a 8-0 shutout.

Hunter should come in and do a pretty good job tonight. Don't think it will be a shutout but is looks like the Rangers have the bats swinging from last night.

Ok,

More than half way done with October and more than half way done with the semester. Still have a lot to do. Finish up the Law & Economics paper, must say that water rights and The Owens Valley War is pretty darned interesting. The Portfolio class is not as interesting as I wanted it to be, had a futures and options class from the same guy last semester, and I wish it was more like that one.

I've got a test this evening and man I've got a big case of senior-itis going on. How many ways can you rehash Future Value and Present Value formulas?

A scene from Ocean's Eleven keep popping into my head, the one with Danny and Rusty driving in a car and the dialog goes something to the effect of

Rusty: God, I'm bored!

Danny: You look bored.

Rusty: I am bored!

Oh well you gotta do what you gotta do.
