The New Interac Chip
The other day, I was buying a tea at the local Great Canadian Bagel and I noticed someone passing a debit card with the chip.
I then went to my financial institutions and asked if they had the chip debit cards, and I was pleased to tell me they did! So I've switched over to the new chips.

Removing the BAD words from the English Language
In this podlet I talk about, yep you guessed it, "BAD WORDS", but don't be fooled!
I'm not taking about swear words, slang, euphemism, expletivies. I am talking about very special words, words that make us unhappy (or make others unhappy).
Certain words that I think are hard-wired into our brains to remove motiivation, to remove 'wants' and 'desires', to generally make us feel miserable.
What could these words possibly be? What could possibly cause so much trouble in our daily lives? Have a listen and see!

On Socialism and Dave Ramsey - Pt 1
On of my all time favorite podcasts regarding finance, saving money, and just "good - smart" ideas is by far the Dave Ramsey Show (http://www.daveramsey.comm).
Dave Ramsey continues to impress me with his "common sense" advice for getting out of debt and bulding wealth, his free podcast you can listen to his ideas from his radio program, as well as go to his site and find many tips, guides, books, and lessons (including the Total Money Make Over) that will help you get ahead in life.
The only smal critism, I would have - Dave likes to somestimes get up on his soapbox (it is his show afterall) and talk about the 'evils' of socialism, in particular he is talking about government control over our lives. In this podlet, I dicuss some basic ideas / misconceptions and the "philosophy of socialism" as an economic model. I'm not talking about so-called failed implementations of socialism and cases where governments hold power and don't give it up.
Back to concepts, Do individuals have a "right" to the things they need. To each according to his own need. Basic needs and necessessities should be available to all. As a socieity we can help support one another to make this possible.
