Couple Helpful Links (plugs for my friends)
Most of my posts have been basketball related — it’s not surprising. I’ve been a die-hard Laker fan for the better part of my life (going on 20 years of dedicated purple and gold) and now it’s the biggest stage of the NBA: The Finals.
I wanted to give a couple shout outs to a few of my friends’ websites:
My friend Rob works at a startup that just launched RepairPal, a site dedicated to provide drivers with the most accurate, unbiased, and useful car ownership information available. It just got profiled on TechCrunch and I think it has great promise! It will help you keep a better record of your car’s health and keeps you in the know so you don’t get ripped off by shady repair shops. Check it out!
My friend Selina just started a cooking blog, Let’s Chow! She plans to focus on simple, delicious recipes. She’ll probably write more than a fair share of Chinese recipes, but I’m sure it’ll have a variety. I’m looking forward to it and I already put in a request for her to share one of her Korean dishes.
Lastly, in Twitter network, I have a buddy that just started a useful StockTweet intiative. Basically, if you’re on Twitter and are interested in stocks, follow the user StockTweet. If you tweet any stock related tweets, prefix it with a ‘$’ (i.e. “I just sold $AAPL. The iPhone price drop is big.”) It will get automatically indexed by StockTweet. You can view everyone’s stock tweets at their tumblr page.
