The Constant Reminder
Probably one of the best personal finance articles lately that I have seen. Loved it how the author weaves the NASA process in the article to make his point. The graph “Total Wealth by Savings Rate” is brilliant!
This is what makes consistent actions and the power of compounding so amazing. When I think about creating a new habit in my life, I like to imagine all of the future benefits from that habit discounted back to the moment when the habit is formed. That’s what it’s like. When you increase your savings rate from 5% to 10%, you don’t get 5% more money at the end, you double the amount of money you have. The first day you form your exercise habit is the day you lose the weight. The first day you form your writing habit is the day you wrote your best work. It all compounds back to the moment when the habit is formed.
Life inside the RVs of Silicon Valley
Good to stay humbled and not forget that most people may not have it as good as you. Looks like my son is heading back to Silicon Valley next summer for another internship and I sent this article telling him I can help him invest in an RV. He did what young people do these days. He replied “LOL”. Fine then 🙂 Ok, back on track. These are heartbreaking stories. I have no doubt Trump thinks these people are dirt and does not give a shit about them. There, I made my anti Trump dig and feel better about myself woohoo!
Chasing a Killer
What a fascinating article following scientists traveling way deep into the Congo tracking the deadly monkeypox virus. I can assure you there is no Hyatt anywhere nearby! You will learn about a lot!
If You’ve Never Heard a Mountain Lion Scream it’s Terrifying
Holy cow! I had nightmares about this scream when I went to bed the night I first heard it. Terrifying indeed, I had no idea!
Happy nightmares to you from TBB! 🙂
Visualizing the Trillion-Fold Increase in Computing Power
This will blow your mind, I guarantee it! Wow, incredible infographic!

What happened to miles and points?
Oh yeah?
Me too.
Good morning.
this blog is slowly moving away from miles and points it appears…
Darn it I added it the word “travel” in front of it hehe.
The only growth industry I see in Greece is cafes and bakeries selling bread and pies.
How about changing the name to:
“René’s Blogger Buzz (by George)”.
Here come da’ judge.
Oh no, Sam, prepare for René to threaten to sue you now for stealing from him – seems to be his MO whenever anyone mentions his name, LMAO!
Say, we haven’t seen Ingy around here kvetching in awhile.
George you have a good eye for interesting and eclectic stuff!
Ryan-
Well, I doubt that. TBB is about to explode in page views with all the ‘I’m not that guy’ news. Just wait until the Buzz gets thrown in the dungeon when he tries to re-enter the US. They’re waiting. Oh yeah, you betcha. Book deal for sure. Maybe a movie. Who will they get to play Buzz?
As for reputation, I look to historical philosophers for guidance (at 3:23):

Formerly known as “Delta Blogger Buzz”
He will eventually change it to Sex Robot Buzz. He’ll get a lot more clicks that way.
LOL. Yeah, like the sound of that!
The RVs in Mountain View started slowly, maybe 3 of them in my old neighborhood (1.5m houses) a couple years ago. When I left 2 years ago there was probably 10 or more parked on the section of street that butted up against HWY 280. I can only imagine what it is like now, you have personally seen the wealth driving the market there, tech companies are willing to pay interns obscene amounts and fly them out to party…wait I meant interview.
Yeah I can imagine
Power ain’t everything. I’ll take iphone4 over apple watch.
The apple watch does not make me a more attractive mating partner.
Iphone X already does that.
you are on a roll today!
Hola amigos, it’s been a while.
Looking uphill for Greece George. That defense is truly awful.
What a disastrous night! Our defense just imploded big time! Only gave up 6 goals in all of qualifying matches…So many mistakes by everyone, including our coach who made some unexpected changes and every single one proved to be a debacle. The two goals by individual mistakes were made by two players who have almost had no playing time at their foreign clubs this season. And we were missing our two best defenders, which should not be an excuse at all.
It was one of those nights when everything went against us. Croatia was amazing, well deserved win. I do not expect Greece to win 3-0. But players were all embarassed and said we will leave everything on the field on Sunday. EVERYTHING. With a good start just like Croatia’s with that horrible bounce by our goalie giving up the PK…we believe! Just not going to bet on it.
Croatia looks to be a superior team.
