As we’re evolving the weblog’s design, a few things had to be shuffled around. Due to some incongruous L&F issues with some new design elements introduced clashing with the search box’s original location at the upper-right hand position (the top of the right sidebar), the search box has been relocated to the top of the [...]

Remember when I mentioned that the currency trading (using the initially reserved $100,000 funds from the $1,000,000) in the CNBC $1M Challenge game was disabled due to some sort of technical problems? Well, you may have noticed the statement on the main page of the game announcing that the currency trading will be back, starting [...]
Last year, there was a fun blog I’d check in at once a day (or so), while I was collecting the Starbucks iTunes Song of the Day songs: Mark Heringer’s ongoing updated list. So, when I discovered somewhat belatedly that Starbucks [SBUX] is back with a new iTunes partnered free promo, I remembered Mark’s list [...]
As I mentioned earlier, I’d stumbled upon the Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week program. A quick search unearthed the official Starbucks press announcement about this new program, the Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week. An interesting point is the statement that this new program is an ongoing endeavor and the “next phase” of the [...]
Yeaaargh! Waaaaaaah! For some odd reason, it seems that I’m trying to catch up with the various lifestyle thingies that I customarily find fun and relaxing… Here are the three things that have somehow slipped to the wayside, and which I’m mentioning to you now… Blogging (yeah, as if you haven’t noticed!)… This year’s CNBC [...]

If you’ve been hiding out for a bit, you may have missed this fun game… As of this writing, we’re now in the midst of the second week of CNBC’s $1M Challenge. It’s a fun yet exasperating stock market game that leverages a subset of the stocks available in the U.S. stock markets and overlays [...]
I’ve been mildly irritated by the lack of the display of the posts’ time, as well as the lack of the display of the day’s name (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.), in the post header secondary line. So, in typical Development in Anger fashion, I’ve gone ahead and modified the Cutline 3-Column 1.3 theme I’m currently [...]
Yes, it may be difficult to believe, but even I am guilty of having a mother! When I woke this morning, the news article on the radio was, shockingly, about the origin of Mother’s Day in the U.S.: a solemn gathering day enacted by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia in remembrance of her own mother, [...]
