Disney Takes Another Stab at the House of the Future
Disney has announced that they are going to take another stab at showing us the “House of the Future”.

I’d love to see it if I can get down to Orlando, but 5,000 square feet? That’s a lot of house.

(UPDATE: Crap. It’s in Disneyland, not Disney World. Anaheim is much more difficult to get to from here than Orlando.)

This is awesome! I won one of the speaker roles at REAL World 2008 in Austin next month. REALbasic is an amazing development tool, and I hope to do it justice with my talk.

But in case you haven’t heard, my wife and I and my brother-in law and sister-in law are moving to the family farm and resettling there.

Yes, the kids are coming too.

We’re building houses, but we’ll all be living in the old farmhouse during construction.

Guess it’s time for me to deal with that “sleepwalking in the nude” habit I have. Right, Keith?

Keith? You know I was just kidding, right Keith?

Hello?

The entire thing, here you go!

Via The Onion:

WASHINGTON—A bipartisan committee found the plan was a “super-easy” way to rake in cash, and has already borrowed supplies from Sen. Chuck Hagel’s brother-in-law.

Collis Ta’eed has put a really nice roundup of personal money management sites at FreelanceSwitch – The Freelance Blog:
“I’ve spent 28 years taking my own advice, and frankly it hasn’t gotten me very far. So it’s time to listen to someone else. Here are the best and brightest voices online on money matters:”

I’ve read some of these sites, but I’m intrigued by the others.

Amazing—a really good story.

My first shameless plug, but if anyone buys a copy of the MacHeist promo, I could use 1 referral:
