• Rock-Paper-Scissors: You vs. the Computer – Interactive Feature – NYTimes.com – Wow is it ever frustrating to be beaten by a computer at a game that is so simple. I’ve never really considered the strategy in Rock-Paper-Scissors to be all that sophisticated. Guess I was wrong.

  • Making Money | Small Business Advice from Jason Fried of Inc.com – Fantastic article about learning to make money in an entrepreneurial way with real-world lessons and advice. Love this bit at the end:

    Like I said at the outset, it’s all about practice. Whether you’re playing drums or building a business, you’re going to be pretty bad at something the first time you try it. The second time isn’t much better. Over time, and after a lot of practice, you begin to get there.

    So here’s a great way to practice making money: Buy and sell the same thing over and over on Craigslist or eBay. Seriously.

    Go buy something on Craigslist or eBay. Find something that’s a bit of a commodity, so you know there’s always plenty of supply and demand. An iPod is a good test. Buy it, and then immediately resell it. Then buy it again. Each time, try selling it for more than you paid for it. See how far you can push it. See how much profit you can make off 10 transactions.
