LisaTickledPink Meets TWIT's Leo Laporte

This past week, Leo Laporte, from TWIT.tv pulled off a prank where Leo and Kevin Rose, from DIGG, chose a Twitter user, at random, that tweeted about hating technology... The user they were looking for also had to have only three followers. And after a few seconds, Kevin and Leo found their new guinea pig... The object of the prank was to increase the followers by tens of thousands on twitter.

Long story short, a young lady from New Zealand was chosen... @LisaTickledPink with three little followers, gained internet celebrity status in minutes. A few seconds after Leo mentioned her twitter handle, hundreds, then thousands of followers attached themselves to Lisa from New Zealand on Twitter. 

The prank was a masterpiece except for one little thing... @LisaTickledPink had her email notification on twitter set to *ON*. As you could imagine she started to receive thousands of emails in her personal inbox. 

Today @LisaTickledPink was even showcased on a local New Zealand radio show. An overnight success... Currently has 13,00+ followers... :--))

Stock Market One Year Later

Shorts continue to get SQUEEZED... it seems that the market has become very stubborn and wants to reach a very important physiological number of S&P500 1150. The Bulls have been on a run for several weeks and the DOW 30, just recently hit an all time high of 10,500. 

Today, a year ago, the markets hit the bottom of the recession and never looked back. The market has regained in all three indices over 60% of its losses. I am a BULL at heart and am a Bull in this market. Lots of money still in the sidelines, so that only means more money to trickle in and lift the market. 

I expect a pullback in the next few days, and with this market, probably after we hit 1150, so consider every dip in the market an opportunity to buy at a discounted price.

Lady Interrupts Prudence's Oscar Winner

It was so sad to see director/producer Roger Ross Williams, an Oscar Winner, interrupted by his co-producer, Elinor Burkett. A one in a life time moment was taken away from him by this un-educated, no class, wanna-bee....

My wife and I felt so bad for him... My wife immediately said, OMG, she just pulled a Kanye...

I hope this talented producer now realizes who he's working with and drops her like a bad habit.

AlikeList Sorts Out The Quacks

An amazing site... my wife and I were just thinking of such a site and by pure coincidence i was watching one of Robert Scoble's videos and BANG, there it was... AlikeList.com will allow you to *LIKE* a local business and also find local *TRUSTED* businesses... Get the gist of it ? 

My wife and I have been having trouble finding a trust worthy dentist, for over a year now, and no such luck. Lots of money hungry and fraudulent quacks to say the least. But this week we are scheduled to try a new dentist... cross your fingers.
The bad news is that the site is so new that many businesses and "likes" have not yet been posted, so get to it, because I *TRUST* no one...

Sean Penn Saves Haiti

This morning watching CBS's Sunday Morning I was just amazed and sick to my stomach all at the same time. I saw a segment that had Sean Penn and a good friend in Haiti helping tens of thousands of people with food and medical assistance with only an initial investment of less than one million dollars. The work that they alone with small teams of medical professionals and locals did was at the least amazing.

Sean Penn, GREAT job :~))

Now my RANT... and I'll keep it short... What has or is happening with ALL the MONEY that was collected and texted to help the Haitian community ? Hundreds of millions of dollars were collected and obviously very little, if any, has helped this poor nation of helpless people. It is a SHAME !!!

I hear every other day Sanjay Gupta from CNN, complain about the lack of food and medical equipment and water...

Someone in our government should really look into this matter and audit and follow the money.
