Free Webhosting with 000webhost.com
I came across this website through another blog today called 000webhost.com. They offer free web hosting for anyone who would like to have an account. Their offers include:
- 500 MB Disk Space, 100 GB Data Transfer
- PHP with MySQL database
- cPanel Control Panel
- Fantastico one click installer
I am usually cautious when the offer sounds too good to be true. However, I will sign up for an account and test to see how reliable before I decide whether I will move all my web hosting to them. If they are as good as they advertised, it will be a great way for beginners who is looking to build web properties without wanting to dish out any money up front.
Federal Income Tax Form 1040 calculator
I received this tax calculator link from a friend today. With the tax season fast approaching, it is now time to reflect on individuals tax situation. The tax calculator has a spreadsheet that enables you to get a good idea whether you are getting returns. Remember to file early if you are getting returns so you can put those refunds to investments.

Origami
For those of you who like origami, I came across this jpeg image the the other day regarding how to make a box. When I was a kid I would make boats, frogs and anything little kids can come up with My parents, on the other hand, would make these boxes out of unwanted magazines or advertisement papers. The boxes would then be used to store bones or unwanted scraps during dinner time. I always thought those were handy and a good way to reuse resources.

Where is my bailout?
Watching the news is getting more and more depressing with each passing days. It seems like every company is asking the government for bailout. Even for those that does not qualify, they are attempting to reposition themselves for a share of the TARP fund. The original 700 billion TARP fund was designed to save the banking system and to provide liquidity to our financial system. Next thing you know, American Express, Morgan Stanely, and Goldman Sach all applied and now are considered to be banks.
Take a wild guess which companies now wants to be a bank? That is right, GM and Chresyler. When are car companies banks? Next thing you know the adult industry wants their share too. Maybe they will be applying to be a bank soon.
For those that are still reading and wonder how about the average Joe like you and I, the only thing you and I have is the bailout drawing offered by Overstock. Maybe if I apply to be a bank I have a better chance of winning…
