Why is there no power at the airport?

July 9th, 2009 by Will Crowthers   1 Comment »

As a frequent traveler I find myself often times wandering any given airport looking behind rows of seats, around pillars and in random hall-ways for those beautiful silver plates with black faces which will give power to my laptop, mobile phone, etc.  Yes, I am that guy that everyone think is looking for a place to plant a bomb, but is really just trying to get some juice in order to get on the internet.

So, the question stands, why is…

The $100 Challenge

July 6th, 2009 by Will Crowthers   7 Comments »

I have noted this in several blogs thus far, but it continues to irritate me how nearly everyone see’s budgeting as starting out with how much you can spend and working backwards.
