April 2008 Net Worth

So it appears my Net Worth took a bit of a hit this month. Fortunately, I know that the hit is mainly my car's value and not any additional debt. A few weeks back my tire went flat which led me to find some additional damage on my vehicle that takes it from being in "Good" condition down to "Fair". It's OK my car will be alright but the difference in Value is about $750 give or take. Plus old 'Carmen' is coming close to pushing 200K so it might be time for a new ride very soon.

On an entirely different note - I am really glad I'll be switching back to my home Internet come tomorrow once it's installed in the new place... one major disadvantage of library Internet is the possibility of sitting next to pseudo-homeless person who hasn't bathed in days. People sitting around you begin to think your the cause of the stench and it might be rude to just stand up and point to the person next to you who's causing the stench. So much for manners...

Anyway - once my Internet is up and running I'll be posting my goals for May. Until then thanks for reading.

Quote of the Week: #18

"The key is the Internet. The United States is by far the most advanced country in this new digital culture, so we have to be there. The Internet is the heart of this new civilization, and telecommunications are the nervous system, or circulatory system."

Web Video of the Week: The Next Internet Millionaire

So I came across this video on Revver.com:

The Next Internet Millionaire



I've only watched half of it so far but, it seems like the Apprentice meets the Benefactor or whatever Mark Cuban's show was.

I believe this is a web only video which sort of explains why I personally have never heard of the self-proclaimed 'bestselling author' and web millionaire host that is allowing 10-12 people vie for a grand prize of ...$25,000! - OK that didn't really deserve the exclamation point but, you'd think that it did by watching this. Hell, I could use $25,000 right about now.
