Yup, thanks to Google allowing me to create web pages, that I don’t have to pay for to have hosted, you now are being treated to “The Big Cajun Man’s Reading List“, and not only is it a reading list (ok it’s not much of a list right now), it is a list of my favorite music and movies too! You will be amazed and astounded, bored and possibly have a moribund sensation, but it’s there and it is growing. Why? I don’t know, I found my list of movies that I would watch if I ever get laid off, and figured I should put it on line somewhere, in case I lose it.

The music stuff was fun, because I thought I could create a top 10 list and then found it was all 80’s albums, so I then had to create subsections, which is going to grow folks!

My favorite on line radio station, Radio Nigel, is under the gun thanks to sky rocketing costs, so go have a listen and if you like it, send them $10 via paypal, so they can continue to play great 80’s tunes!

And those whacky folks in Iran have come out with a new banknote (in some remotely financial news), the denomination is: 50,000 rial (which is about $5.40 US), but the denomination is not the fun part, it’s the graphic on the back of a Nuclear Explosion! Well, that is what folks are saying it looks like, I really don’t see, it but that is just me, I guess. Give 50,000 Rial to Radio Nigel Now!!!!

I noted yesterday that I posted my 500th posting with very little fanfare (in fact I was trying to win a Wii from that Evil John Chow). My apologies, major events in life must be noted and celebrated (like the day you get out of debt, get as drunk as Tucker Max ). I have made over 500 postings, over the past 3 years, which I think is amazing and maybe a monument to futility as well, as I don’t think my financial planning has gotten that much better.

Over the past 3 years I have learned a lot about blogging in specific, and financial stuff in general from a lot of the web sites that I talk about, and from books I have read or been pointed to. There are some amazing financial minds out there (just look at my links list for my preferred authors), and you should read lots of them to get ideas, that is where I get a lot of mine from.

I seem to have lasted longer than Rosie the Magazine, and “New Coke” so I guess that is a good thing? Hopefully I will be index’ed by Google again, I seem to have disappeared from the Index, which is annoying. Stay tuned, more financial “clap trap” to come!
