  • Educational investment resource

    Yesterday I wrote about FORA.tv, and today I have an free other online educational resource for those who are interested for a reason or other in the world of finance / investment: the MarketPlace Whiteboard (found it via zero hedge).

  • FORA.tv

    I discovered FORA.tv just recently, but I’m already a huge fan. If you like TV channels like Discovery or National Geographic, you will certainly find something of interest here. What’s great: it’s free with very little and unobtrusive advertisement the programs are professionally recorded / postprocessed (no volume-to-low-to-hear problems here) link to individual parts of…

  • Some fun timewasters 🙂

    Found this one via h-i-r.net: And the following one is from friends (these are in German, but many of them can be enjoyed even if you don’t know the language): Some of the highlights from both of the channels:

    In the spirit of Fatboy Slim’s Right Here / Right now Comes the following video about Yahoo Mail: Communication Evolution @ Yahoo! Video I got started on Yahoo Mail back in the day and it always served me well. Thank you! PS: Cat and dog saying Yahoo Mail

  • Interesting media

    Short updates from Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame on the pennsays YouTube channel. My only grief is that a few videos are unavailable due to “age or location restrictions”, which really seems just an oversight, since the content most probably isn’t published anywhere else (like TV) to warrant such restrictions. I tried to…
