The coolest thing about  microfinancing ( which surged after Muhammad Yunus founded Grameen Bank - an innovative business model for helping the poor in developing countries ) is it can be applied everywhere. Even in the U.S., there are now sites for peer-to-peer lending, where as the investor , you can set your interest rate and provide funds(as little as $25) to help a fellow with his credit card debt, camera purchase, home purchase, or small business. Or, for those with bad credit, it’s a great new source of funding when you need money most.  With interest rates set by participating members, you’ll be earning anywhere form 6%-25% APR over a 3 year period on your investment. Not bad, when current savings account yields are around 1.3%!

Because we love tees and we love music!

Tees with music lyrics of your favorite bands, including:

I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
as performed by U2

I’m the only one
as performed by Melissa Etheridge

I’m a hustler baby
as performed by Jay-Z

I used to rule the world
as performed by Coldplay

And of course the cool packaging, as explained by the site.. “To help reinforce the spirit of music, each i/denti/tee is packaged in a vintage, vinyl-style album sleeve; so it looks and feels just like a 12″ record when you get it. These premium packages are great to collect and they make the perfect last minute gift for the Holiday or any special occasion.”

Free Omega Vitamins?

Filed under: Be Healthy, Free Stuff!

I like Free Stuff. I like vitamins because they make me feel good and look good (..or at least give me the impression that I do..)  In my recent hunt for omegas for relatives, I found this site that gives away bottles of berry+omega fish oil to get people to (hopefully) buy their product in the future, and got mine recently. Good Stuff, considering (this is the whole academic rant)Omega-3 fatty acids protect against heart disease, stroke, and even treat depression. GNC and Vitamin World charge 15 or more a bottle, so after sifting through some online vitamin vendors and other not so legit offers, I went with S/h on the Big Free Bottle offered by these guys.

Here it is! Free Omegas to Make Someone Very Healthy

Juicy? Gucci? or Oakley designer samples?
Get in on the secret!

I always lose my large work files and school docs in my emails and flash drives. Recently, I found a cool service that lets me store my files, pics, etc. ( just about anything really).  My files are stored permanently and available anywhere with internet access.For pros, 15 GB goes for $19.99. But for storage up to 1 GB, it’s free!

For friends and hip newbies, 1) create an account, 2)login, and 3)voila!

No more worrying about crashing PCs and missing flash drives.

Here’s the mimo link
