I’ve found a very affordable way to listen to a wide variety of music for very little money. Sure, it’s great to surf around Amazon or the iTunes Music Store, but there’s no way I could afford enough music to satisfy my craving for virtually any kind of music. Inspired by the music listening habits of a friend, I recently purchased a turntable. With a sense of adventure and a little patience, you too can satisfy your musical cravings with records from a number of sources (usually for less than a dollar an album). Even new vinyl tends to run cheaper than Compact Disk, but some of the older titles you acquire can end up being quite valuable.

I’m guessing they weren’t interested because I said my feed had “0-99” unique subscribers per month. I don’t know if that’s true…I didn’t think it would matter.
So I’m on a business trip in Des Moines at a bar called The Lift (it has Wi-Fi), and it is the first implementation I have seen of iPod DJing. People hand their iPods to the bartender with a fifteen minute playlist on it, and free of charge, he plays each iPod in the order it was received (except tonight, since it’s “Ladies 80’s,” and ladies go first). One of my friends had this idea awhile ago, and we were pretty surprised to see someone was already doing it. His idea involved an automated system though, but that may not be worth it until iPods have Bluetooth or something similar. I told them I was blogging about their bar, and they took a picture of me. It should be included with the other iPod night photos soon.
Contrary to what I had expected, I was, in fact, chosen for a jury. I was called in three times, and was chosen for a jury the third (and final for my month of service) time, thus maximizing the portion of my life dedicated to serving jury duty. At least it was an interesting case.

Recently I wanted to buy some new shoes. I had ordered some shoes from a place called zappos.com, and was thrilled with the experience: they had a good price on the shoes I wanted, and shipping was free – and my shoes showed up in two days. I have friends who had similarly positive experiences from ordering from zappos.com, so I didn’t think twice about where to go when I needed some new shoes. Yes, needed.
So I ordered my shoes, and got a good price. Then a few minutes later, I noticed that they have a 110% Price Protection Policy. I looked around and quickly found the same shoes somewhere else for about $12 cheaper. So I called zappos.com, and the helpful customer service representative gave me $14, and even upgraded my shipping to two day. The call took about five minutes…no red tape, fine print or the like.
It’s always worthy of note when a company “gets” customer service.
I was recently summoned to serve as a juror in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, in the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse here in Omaha. I was originally scheduled to start on April 4th, but earlier this week, they called me and said that the judge wanted to get the case underway and wanted us to come in early (April 1). Rather than the response I should have given (“Sorry, I have already scheduled something for that day, had I known that was the day I would need to start, I could have kept my schedule open”), I agreed to come in. Here is what the experience was like.
Here are a few points that I think many investors did not notice. The company has no acquisition targets; it’s a clear leader in its market; its balance sheet can self-finance up to three times its capacity…
…blah blah. Think about what a company does before you invest in them.
