Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream second to at least a couple

I just finished off a pint of Ben and Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Most people finish off a pint in a sitting, this pint lasted me 4 desserts.

Follow up on tax advantaged funds post

I will attempt to address this quite detailed comment.

So I have had my good for me this [...]

Technology too

I added technology as well, which will probably go along closely with education. Recently my brain started working again, and there is a strange desire to learn lisp or scheme, erlang and ruby as well as become a decent with C and C++.
Lisp is used a lot in AI and I should be taking [...]

I heart Taxes

You will have to forgive me, but I am horrible speller.
New finance section. I have a renewed interest in all things money, as well as the desire to live, after departing my previous employment. On top of that, I have just finished my taxes, and I have a renewed interest in tax avoidance [...]
