Blog Goal #2 achieved. Who’s visitor #3000? He/she appears to be from the west coast.

Last Sunday, I went to NY’s Aqueduct Flea Market, the largest outdoor flea market on the East Coast. The flea market area is indeed huge. There are many stores and they sell items ranging from little 99 cent gadgets to sunglasses to clothing to food to luggage bags — almost anything. From what I’ve seen [...]

This is a very interesting issue of BusinessWeek that talks about blogs — how it helps, affects, and improves business. I’m going to send a lucky reader this issue and pay for the shipping cost. We’re going to play a small game to determine the winner.

I was cleaning up and I found 8 Loew’s movie tickets that are expired (from 2003). I also found one unused full-price ticket. I think my friend didn’t show up for the movie that day and we had paid for an extra ticket. Total loss: $50.
