Ever lost over $20 million dollars per month? Chesapeake Energy’s CEO Aubrey McClendon has; for four months in a row. Apparently he kept buying further in as the stock continued a decline. In whole McClendon spent over $150 million purchasing a little over 3 million shares starting in the middle of July. Since July 15th the stock has had about a 65% slump. Needless to say that McClendon gambled away about $90 million dollars in the process. Their debt load is now about twice their market cap, and the interesting thing is that the message boards are starting to use words like “Buyout Candidate”. 

I wouldn’t even use Yahoo email in my personal life. I look down on those who use it for business. At least use Gmail (no offense Seth Godin). I view Yahoo email as tedious, clumsy, and no doubt a relic of those who simply cannot move with the times. It’s like that one friend you have that still uses AOL. Apparently Sarah Palin doesn’t feel the same way. And while I do not agree with someone hacking into her email account for political gain, she should not be using a Yahoo acount for government business. I mean she really is a soccer mom. What do you think of when you get a business card with a free mail service as the domain in the email address. They are either lazy, late adopters, or just out of touch. To think that someone would do such a thing for Government transactions is simply deplorable.  

What if your business card literally turned into a flower when planted. I bet people would talk about it. 

There really is something to be said when you outdo almost every service available, and thats exactly what Stormpulse has done. This is an incredibly neat way to really get a grasp on what is going on. Two guys, coding, beating NOAA.  

It appears that China is gaining a fairly large foothold in the future production of Iraqi Oil. Sort of waters down the “all for oil” talk about the Iraq war. The positive here would certainly be that China will now have a set interest in that country. This should shift their future involvement in the growth, and security of Iraq’s future.
