Bullety
Update bullets for a lazy Wednesday.
- Websites on my do-not-visit list for having audio/video autoplay when I arrive: Web Del Sol and ESPN.com. In danger: Slate. Don't do it!
- Actually, I've been slashing and burning my bookmarks and links because I was wasting too much time on websites during the day. So I cut most of them out and put three books on the table next to my desk so I can pull a few pages out of them when I would previously have clicked on, say, The Onion AV Club. Right now it's Tony Hoagland's prose, Italo Calvino, and a back issue of The Literary Review. I may add a couple more.
- Have you heard of gooey butter cake? Well, it's an evil, evil thing, as if you couldn't tell from the name.
- I'm looking into getting a new car. I bought my current car, a Saturn L-300, from my stepmom, and it's been great. Sadly, she's not selling her Lexus now.
- I've gone crazy sending manuscripts to contests and open reading periods the last two months. My brain is starting to scatter.
- I can't recommend a Charles Schwab Investor Checking Account strongly enough, at least so far. Gotta love that 4% interest on a checking account, and they've been super professional about all the startup stuff. Unlike, say, US Bank.

I just read that Sharebuilder was acquired by ING Direct. Another high-interest checking option that, when merged, should have comparable functionality to the Schwab account, but with Sharebuilder's no minimum balance and super-low commission costs.
