Personal finance: Jim Cramer's mutual fund picks
There’s a huge lack of good, practical, useful financial advice for regular people… .
Hopefully we can have a more open discourse about personal finance in our culture. It’s too painful to see 50-year-olds without retirement funds because nobody ever told them they needed one, or 20-year-olds with credit-card debt because they bought frivolous things and didn’t consider the math.

Instapaper feedback positive so far
I’m getting unexpectedly great reactions to Instapaper. Reblog the original post and add your comments if you’d like!
Digit3: “Instapaper gets my second-born, since I already promised my first-born to Tumblr.”
Inky: “Creating an account on Instapaper is quicker than saving a bookmark on del.icio.us. Saving a page for later is even quicker.”
Hannah: “Hurray for an internet application that helps you read more!”
Jakob Lodwick: “It’s worth signing up just to see the perfectly elegant handling of user accounts. ‘If you didn’t set a password, you don’t have one.’ Oh, Marco!”
Inky’s friend: “I can close tabs if I use this!”
Han: “I’m always trying to save items to read later. I usually forget about them, though. Not anymore!”
Ben Gold: “It’s like Delicious, but with Tumblr simplicity.”
Purzlbaum: “Oh, das ist wirklich cool.”
Holy cow! You’re darn right this is cool!

I’m there for the content.
