Wednesday, August 31st, 2005Okay, now this is scary for bloggers, myself included. One of my readers sent me a link to an article in today’s Wall Street Journal. Personally, I don’t see how the blogger could be held responsible for comments made by an anonymous poster. With IP address trackability, it shouldn’t be that hard […]
I Miss Technorati
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005I love Technorati. However, lately it has become a real pain to use. Most of the time I can’t even access the site due to “too much volume.” Google and Yahoo! need to do something. With their capabilities, they could easily do what Technorati does.
National Do-Not Call List
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005Ever since I installed my business and fax line, I have been getting calls from supposedly non-profit credit foundations. They call all the time. Recently, I have been jotting down the phone numbers and calling them back and asking them to take me off their list. That has helped alleviate the problem […]
OT: Man on a Mission
Wednesday, August 31st, 2005Most of my readers already know that I also publish Man on a Mission, which is a blog all about mission statements. The blog is not a huge traffic generator (it averages 60 hits per day or so). However, yesterday I noticed that it had more than 100 hits and almost all the […]
NASCAR - I Don’t Get it!
Tuesday, August 30th, 2005The latest issue of Fortune has a cover story about NASCAR. According to the article (subscription required), NASCAR’s fan base has grown 24.6% from 1997 - 2004, while all the other major sports have lost fans. Call me crazy, but I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I think NASCAR […]
Week 11 Was a Success
Monday, August 29th, 2005I want to thank everyone who stopped by to check out this week’s carnival. I thought it was a big success. Now it’s time to get your submissions over to SavvySaver so that she can start working on Week 12. AllThingsFinancial will host the Carnival again on January 9th, 2006, which seems […]

So, let’s get started with this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance:
Gas Prices and Cars
Gas prices are […]
Sunday Morning Comments
Sunday, August 28th, 2005I still haven’t totally figured out how to move all my posts from the old blog to this blog. I hope to get that done later today. The directions for doing so are pretty confusing and I sure don’t want to mess it up and lose 10 months worth of work.
I did change […]
Blog of the Week
Friday, August 26th, 2005One of the new features of the all new AllThingsFinancial is something called “The Blog of the Week.” You can see up there in the right hand corner. The goal of this feature is to profile a different blog that I think my readers would enjoy.
This week’s selection, which from now on will […]
Are Hybrid Vehicles Worth the Money?
Friday, August 26th, 2005Sarah Breckenridge of Smart Money wrote an excellent article in which she took four vehicles (Ford Escape, Honda Accord, Toyota Highlander, and Lexus RX) and compared the hybrid version of those vehicles with the standard version. I wanted to see how much a person could save (or not save) by buying the hybrid version
