Short post right now because it’s after midnight already and I think I am getting sick :-/
Went with adam to go see The STI he wants to get and the car is mint and like brand new. Pretty sick deal at 29k for a 2008 Subaru STI.
I came home, and session’d this book I am reading. Adam let me borrow the book and its a life changer. The 4-hour Workweek. I can’t put it down, and I can’t wait to read more of it tomorrow.(I put it down to go to sleep, and write this) Lots of great advice and I’ve had a lot of the same thoughts as the author. It is a pretty sweet book no less, and I recommend it to everyone. There is something everyone can gain from this book, and it will have an impact on your life.

@SimplySteph11 Ray is good no doubt but hes getting old, and he doesn't play well in the playoffs. A 3point shooter is easier to come by :-/ in reply to SimplySteph11#
I wish I was better at graphic design. Maybe I would have a cooler looking website, hehe. #
First ever layoffs at work today in the 30 years of business. I might have to lay on my sword if there are more cuts. Take care of my homies #
@arjun17 Damn, layoffs everywhere. I have a lot less to lose than my other co-workers so I figure I'd volunteer if it comes to that. :-/ in reply to arjun17#
I was so close! I can’t believe I was this close and failed to reach $200 dollars in cash back rewards from Chase. A month ago I posted an article about how to save your cash back rewards because The Chase freedom card is no longer going to give the $50 dollar bonus for waiting until you have saved up $200 dollars in rewards. It is different for each person and I think it depends on the aniversary date. My $50 dollar bonus was going away June 30th, so I had up until my last statement day which was June 25th. As you can see below I just missed it. I would have made it easy if all my pending transactions had completed by midnight June 24th.
I have until June 30th. I wonder if I can call them and see what I can negotiate with them. That $3.34 could turn into $50 bucks. I know you might think thats not a big deal, but to come so close, and to have literally made it, just some delays in transactions means I don’t get the $50 dollars.
I wonder if there is a way for me to talk to them and see if they can make this happen. I would think almost 100% NOT going to happen. Why would Chase help me get more money, that is just not in the best interest of their company.
Make sure you guys check when your statements are ending, and when your $50 dollar reward is up! Don’t miss out like I am going to.
Update:
I emailed Chase this morning asking them what I can do to make up the point/cash. I asked if it was possible to transferpoints or borrow points in order to make it to the $200 mark I need to order that $250 dollar check. Here is the reply I got from Chase about 2 hours later:
I was shocked too! That was awesome! I have always been really pleased with the customer service from Chase, but this I never expected. Get a Chase card if you don’t already have one!
Here is the results already:
I will post another picture when I get the check. Please share if you had good customer service experience with Chase.
I loved this photo. Makes me want to buy a new camera and take cool photos of cars.
My 2001 Audi S4 is in need of a new clutch and new turbos. I have 86k on my car now and with a new clutch and turbos it could probably go another 50k with near 500 bhp. Sounds pretty fun to me, or my other option is to think about a new car. less maintenance and to stop modding my car. It’s becoming too much of a money hog and its very addicting. I feel like it might be nicer to break the habit.
The new 2010 Audi S4 is a 3.0li Supercharged engine putting out 333hp. My Current S4 is a Twin Turbo putting out about 350hp but with new turbos could be very close to 500hp.
@groovedrm It's true. New new cars are way inflated. Slightly used is better. I am thinking about Leasing to buy, so I can't mod it. in reply to groovedrm#
I love haxing to daft punk Reading about facebook connect on iphone apps http://bit.ly/21qM9#
@sjoeboo battery life is killer on the iphone. I charge my thing like everyday. I would think the new 3Gs is a little better but still. in reply to sjoeboo#
@groovedrm Oh cool. I was just wondering because I am affliated with hostgator so I would have got a kickback if you did. No big deal tho. in reply to groovedrm#
@groovedrm $1.92 million, or $80,000 per song is reasonable. In that case… I should get the death penalty for what I've done. in reply to groovedrm#
Broke 600 fellow tweeters. Awesome! You are all lovely people. #
@groovedrm Thanks for the follow! Let me know if you need some SEO help on your website. I am an SEO guru just like everyone else. #ebookin reply to groovedrm#
I just installed twittertools by Alex King. The plugin connects your blog to your twitter account by posting a tweet when you write a new blog post. If you are reading this via twitter, then it worked. The plugin also works the other way as well. You can choose to have the plugin create a weekly blog post about all your tweets of that week.
This is my first week using this plugin so we’ll see how it goes. Next week I will setup the wordpress all-in-one SEO pack. I hear its the bee’s knees when it comes to wordpress and SEO. SEO is so hot right now.
My credit card statement this month was different for the first time. I had a balance, but the minimum payment was zero dollars. This confused me. How can I have a balance and the minimum payment be zero? I didn’t think much of this and I thought it was a mistake. I setup my payment to pay off my balance in full like I always do. I needed to find out why my minimum payment would be set to zero. So I sent a message to customer service. Chase’s customer service is very good by the way. They always get back to you quickly and accommodate you well.
You can see in the picture above that my statement clearly says I carry a balance, and my minimum payment is zero.
My message to Chase was this, “I am a little confused why my last statement says minimum payment due is 0 dollars?” Here was the response I got from Chase…
Awesome! Thanks for the good news Chase, but this is a total scam. They want me to skip this payment so they can charge me interest. I’m posting this because as soon as I read this email, I had to let everyone know about it. If they allow you to “skip” a payment don’t do it. The minimum payment for my balance would have been about $18. If I had taken Chase up on this wonderful offer I’d be charged $12 dollars in interest. So this only benefits Chase. Maybe if you were really short on cash this could help you out, but for people like me who pay all their balances in full, this is just a scam to try and make a buck off you. I know $12 dollars doesn’t seem like much but multiply that by all the accounts Chase has.
What if you had setup automatic payments? Would this not go off because the minimum payment due is zero? If so, that would really screw people over.
If you liked this, or know anyone that should know about this, please share and let me know what you think below.
I updated the video I posted yesterday because it was filmed at night and you couldn’t see anything. The video was unedited and really crappy looking. The new version, is filmed during the day so you can actually see stuff. I tried to edit this using iMovie on my MacBook, but imovie is so noob, that I don’t know how to use it. So I installed Final Cut and did it that way.
The video is still not very well edited. This is my first time using FC and it’s been 8 years since I’ve touched video editing software.
I don’t really care if the video does well on youtube, I made it for the people I know that wanted to hear what the JHM 2.5 inch exhaust sounded like on an Audi S4. In the video you will see that I need a new clutch pretty bad. After the first launch, or lack or launch, it smelt so bad. Lot of burning clutch. The second launch, I didn’t drop the clutch because it will probably hate me. Until I get a new VAST stage 3 clutch my launches are going to suck.
Enjoy the video, maybe soon, there will be another of my drifting my Audi this past winter in the snow. Check back soon. Thanks! Back to werking for coins.
The Hangover is going to be the most talked about movie this summer. It’s getting great reviews and for good reason. Zach Galifianakia and Ed Helms, also know as Andy Bernard from The Office, are hilarious in the film. Don’t download this or wait for the Blu-Ray, support this movie this summer and go see it. It’s a funny adventure from start to finish, and it’s only 1 hour 40 min. Not super long and it won’t take up your whole night or day.
From the trailer you might miss that Heather Graham is in the movie. Just wanted to point that out.
I gave this movie an ‘A’ rating based on yahoo’s rating system. It’s def outstanding, but not Oscar worthy. My only complaint is that I couldn’t hear somethings because of all the laughter. See it in a movie theater that is really loud so you don’t miss a beat.
This scares me a lot because I drive an 01 Audi S4 that’s faster than that. This one appeared stock. I take my car to the track every so often, but I have never gone over 125 in my car, and probably won’t. Speed is not so much the trill for me, it’s the acceleration. That’s why I go to the drag strip. So I can speed legally.
The driver and 3 passengers of this car survived, and the driver was hit with a fine, and his license was suspended, because of the posting on youtube.com.
