MonoPrice

I know this is old news, but I was surprised to encounter a young guy today who didn't know about monoprice.  One of the important things we geeks have learned over the years is to never buy computer or AV cables from a "Big Box Retailer."  As anyone stuck buying a $20 ethernet cable at BestBuy or Radio Shack in an emergency knows ... it's an eff'ing rip-off.

Friday Tips

Welcome to another installment of tips on Friday.  First up is my own.

How to Travel on the Cheap

Perhaps you've read my previous manifesto on the importance of travel in a young geek's life, and are now excited about seeing the world.  Problem is, you're a broke college student, or worse.

Well, today's your lucky day because you've got "El Cheapón" on your side.  I've been around the world several times on a shoestring, and so can you.  It's simply a matter of priorities, and as long as you've got a job there's hope.  If not, don't feel left out.  Keep studying and improving yourself, and before you know it, you'll be slaving away like the rest of us.  Just file this info away for later.
