Daaaang.

I recently did a tech demo for my local meetup group. I built an e-commerce site using Ruby, and the very first product that was listed for sale on the site was JavaScript.

Happy Fourth

May the fourth be with you.

Let us thank the Lord for our nation’s independence.

Happy Independence Day, all.

Happy Independence Day everyone!



Watch this to get into the patriotic mood.

I wonder if mathjak saw the new WSJ article on Vanguard. (new CEO, army of dissatisfied clients)
https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/va ... l-c2da0491

I agree that the Vanguard service has gone down hill significantly. Seems like it began with the push to brokerage accounts. I’ve tried for over 3 months, unsuccessfully, to get check writing and checks sent to me for a joint money market account. Absolutely abysmal service.

I’ve been with Vanguard for over ten years, and have also noticed degradation of service. I also have accounts with Schwab and Fidelity, and prefer the service I receive there.

Yup. I was practically born into it. And by the time I was old enough/ allowed to manage my own money, I had their S&P500 fund in a joint account with my Dad as the custodian. And a personal advisor. I’m in my third decade with Vanguard.

Totally gave up on the checks and checkwriting. I had to shelve all my Vanguard checkbooks. I don’t write very many checks anymore anyway. It’s all venmo, Cash and Paypal and eChecks now.

I hope everyone's summer is shaping up nicely.

I finally got around to staining and sealing my deck this season. It was really in need of some TLC, so I made a day-project out of it.

There are some people who are proponents of power washing the deck as part of the prep process, but I was advised that it's not strictly necessary. I started early in the morning with a brush and some specialized deck cleaner. I scrubbed all the crap that had built up over the past few years and then hosed it down.

By dusk I went over it with a roller and brush with the stain and the deck is now a nice golden brown (it was literally grey previously).

Now for a BBQ and some deck furniture.

Nice

Nice job on keeping up w/ the house!
