Good and Bad Procrastination
dtolton writes "Paul Graham has written an interesting article on Procrastination. He presents three different types of procrastination and one type of procrastination is even good! He also suggests that some types of "getting things done" are actually weak forms of procrastination. The only downside to this article is now you'll have to look at your procrastination with an analytical eye too!" Perhaps next year's Christmas shopping can benefit from the writeup?
Can anyone reccomend the best place to sell off Magic cards?
:)
Local game shop. I know someone years ago that sold all of his cards for about his initial investment or possibly profit and made his DeBeers donation to convince his future wife he was serious about the situation. He also kept a deck to do some casual playing, but had wifey things to do so could not play as much. Do people still play Magic?
Why nerds are unpopular is excellent. I've never read what you'll wish you had known, I never knew about it
I have found several places online that will buy cards but I havnt been willing to spend the time needed to make a list of the cards I own. I may try to find a game shop around here that buys (either in the minneapolis or chicago areas) and just drag in my cards and see what they say
Bottles.
Yeah I'll mod you... later...

I glossed a lot of detail. The car (a '97 Eagle Vision) has 190Km, and needs new CV joints and struts, front and rear. The paint is beginning to go, and the "check engine" light is constantly on due to intermittent misfires (despite new plugs and wires). It gets about 25mpg. All told, the price in parts for the fixes it needs exceed its fair market value. I still own it, because with three teenagers I figure one of them will step up and do the work.
... well, about a block :-).
I bought an '03 VW Jetta turbodiesel, which is rated at 49mpg highway. Like you, I drive about 700 miles/week, almost all on the interstate. I feel a lot better about the fuel economy.
My first car was a '69 pony. 0 to 60 in
