Barbaric Links: Thanks Mom! Edition
Posted by enrique s in Blogging, Links, Organizing, lifehack on May 9th, 2009
Happy Mothers’ Day! Though some people call it a Hallmark holiday, I know my wife is excited, because today she doesn’t have to cook. Now for some great links from the past week:
- Trent at The Simple Dollar is offering his eBook Everything You Ever Really Needed to Know About Personal Finance on Just One Page for free;
- FiveCentNickel celebrates 4 years of providing great financial advice;
- PaidTwice states that we don’t believe in debt;
- Brett at The Art of Manliness shows us how to make the perfect martini;
- Jim at Bargaineering gives us 5 reasons to go paperless (you can use my foolproof file naming system to keep organized);
- Ali at Dumb Little Man offers 10 ways to stay on top of your work (she advocates a to-do list; so do I);
- Jonathan at Awake at the Wheel talks about the pros and cons of “modeling” yourself after successful people;
- Chasing the Bull has joined Twitter;
- Curmudgeon guest posted at Brip Blap that age is a state of mind;
- Flexo at Consumerism Commentary discusses the unownership society;
- Patrick at Cash Money Life equates alternative income with insurance;
- Ian’s Messy Desk tells us to take time to sharpen our tools.
Have a great day!

My First 100 Days
Posted by enrique s in Blogging, Rants on May 31st, 2009
Theresa Thompson
Yesterday was Day 100 of this blog. Since people like to examine the first 100 days of new regimes, I figured that I’d throw out some statistics, just in case you were curious. I know I was curious, and amazed. Amazed that anyone would read my stuff. Here are the numbers:
Number of posts: 67
Number of comments/pingbacks: 94
Number of spam comments: 1,404 (from Askimet)
Number of subscribers: 23 (from Feedburner)
Number of visits: 959 (from Google Analytics)
Number of pageviews: 1,626 (from Google Analytics)
Three months ago, I never would have dreamed that anyone would want to listen to my ramblings. Well, you’ve proved me wrong. Maybe I do have an audience. I also didn’t know how to use Twitter, and some people will probably say that I still don’t know how to tweet. But I’m trying to get better (I won’t go on Facebook because I’ve been known to break cameras. One new social medium at a time). I’d like to thank you for taking the time to visit the Corporate Barbarian, and a special thanks to everyone who’s left a comment.
So please, come back again! Remember, if you leave a comment, and you’re signed up at CommentLuv, you’ll get a free plug to one of the posts on your blog. So keep those great comments coming in! I’ll post some new drivel starting tomorrow.
