Fifteen geek movies to see before you die

Geeks and movies go together quite nicely. This guy (a former movie critic and current self-avowed tech geek) has been thinking about films that reflect tech and geek culture, and has pulled together a list of 15 movies that should probably be on any geek’s must-see list. Fortunately, there’s one on the list I haven’t seen. So I must not be a geek.


Fun With Numbers

I bought some shares of stock a couple of days ago, and in an uncharacteristic stroke of good luck, the stock has jumped up over 1% in value each of the two days since. Which in actual value means I’m up about $150. And I’m pretty sure that anomaly will correct itself soon.

But in the mean time I’m enjoying looking at my investment tracker. There is a column which shows your annualized gain. Currently it assumes that the investment will continue to grow at this unrealistic rate, yielding an annualized growth of 17,808% A fantasy to be sure. But a fun number to look at. Woo Hoo!!
