Some interesting home movies made in-game with World of Warcraft…someone has a lot of time to kill - and that’s in addition to the hundred-hour game commitment.

Say hello to the beautiful blue Caribbean waters at the new Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman. Put this one on the must-visit list. I could move to Florida if I could live in this house. Belcastello in Sarasota is going for $13.5M. I particularly like the master bedroom and the pool view.

Apparently Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong is THREE hours long - twice the length of the 1933 original. It appears that the cost of a private jet is dropping quickly. Here’s three under $2.5M now, with two of them close to $1M. Am looking forward to hearing about partial ownership plans in these. Good thing they didn’t have this when I was a kid - my “forts” would have become more permanent.

Recently, I realized that most of my monthly bills are for recurring services. Not including landline telephone bill, electric bill, or gas bill, my monthly service charges add up. These are the services I use which are business-related: Business Use MyFax, $10 per month: MyFax provides us with an incoming fax line.
