Re: Make Investment Decisions Together to Avoid These Common Mistakes

Thank you Flexo for featuring my guest post on consumerist commentary.

@Louise - I agree. We all like to think reason and logic serve as anchors to the decisions making process. The truth, whether we like it or not, is that emotions are often more powerful than rational. As humans, I believe we must accept this phenomenon and learn to incorporate it into a process in a way that will benefit us.

Loved the post. Brings back memories of Manhattan. I'd consider myself a very lucky man to visit Manhattan every day. Regards, Dorian.

Re: best financial move in college, part 1

Can you honestly say it was a sound *financial* move? I think the concept of utility would better describe your decision.

All the numbers indicate your chances of becoming more successful, financially wise, were much greater attending an Ivy League university. You might have gained more speaking in whole terms (like utility) but as financials go I don’t agree with the bottom line (just my personal point of view of course).

It does sound like it was the right decision for you to make.

@Trent - I guess you're one of the lucky ones than. You figured it out pretty soon and acted on it. I think the majority of people wish they had taken different majors....

Good post. I wrote a similar post on why should we learn a foreign language. In short: New market(s), competitive edge, self branding, networking and cultural diversity.

I'm a francophile myself. Not very popular, I know.

We must not forget we still have a life to live. Effectiveness and efficiency, money, financial success and all the western mantras and success indicators must be attuned to certain goals.

What do we have left?

Re: Redirect Your Blogger Custom Domain to a WWW Subdomain

Hi,

I’ve found your post on the subject very helpful and everything works.

I was wondering if you can expand a bit on some ramifications such as:
1. New links to the new domain (do they add up with the old ?)
2. Feedburner feeds - what are the necessary updates?
3. Technorati ?
4. Search results drop?

I’d love to hear more from your experience.

Regards,
Dorian
