I received word today that the Slashdot T-shirts will be available very soon from ThinkGeek. Check back soon, maybe even tomorrow, and show your Slashdot colors! (In so doing, you’ll help support a quality small business and the bunch of upstanding people that operate it.)

Well, I finally went to the trouble of activating and updating all my various brokerage accounts.

Well, I finally went to the trouble of activating and updating all my various brokerage accounts. I’ve sort of collected them like old business cards, and I use them about as often as I use old business cards, because they pretty much all have the same value. I don’t participate in ESPP (been burned too many times), and any stock options I’ve ever received are so far underwater that they’ve collapsed under the submarine pressure.

And yet I have a couple of reasons to investigate these accounts now. For one, my company is nearing a split with its parent company, and with it will likely come some kind of hefty option grant. Considering that we’re pretty much near a historical low in our stock price (it’s actually been rising a little recently, which is fine, because I seem to have acquired some options in the past couple years without really trying) it may be a good time to consider exercising.

For another reason, you need look no further than this recent news item. Remember when I said I’d been burned before on ESPP? Well, sometimes — in very rare circumstances — a bad burn heals pretty well…

Two years into President Bush’s term, the damage he has done to the nation and the world is incalculable. On issue after issue, Bush does what’s good for big corporations and right-wing extremists at the expense of the public. The Wage Slave Journal offers this scorecard to help you keep track of all of the evil deeds Bush commits and, more important, to provide a record for your perusal when November 2004 rolls around. Be sure to bookmark this page; Bush keeps it full.
