I hate being price discriminated. You see, I tend to be an early adopter. I’m not necessarily the first person on the block to get something, but I’m still with the early group. For example, when the Apple iPhone came out, I didn’t camp out and buy it on the first day. […]

Proposition 8 was a controversial and hotly contested California ballot proposition in the 2008 election. The proposition was to add a new section to the California state constitution stating that “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” This essentially meant that California would only recognize opposite […]

It looks like a lot of us have finally booked our tickets to Spain. I booked my ticket a few days ago. Because of the global recession, plane tickets are CHEAP! My round trip ticket from LAX to Madrid was only $523. I remember when it used to cost that much […]
