Like GPS?

Back on May 23rd I wrote on my personal website about a couple stocks that I liked this year. One of them was a GPS company called Garmin that most people are at least vaguely aware of.

I thought it was expensive when I bought it! In fact, I said that! Whew, check out the last three month run on this thing.

Moderately interesting ad idea

So this is rather interesting. Run an ad banner and put the ability to actual transact the product right into the banner. Hmm, why didn’t someone think of this before. Good job Tailgate. These kinds of obvious “no brainers” always remind me that really good ideas are like that. They seem so obvious. After the fact…

Congratulations Mr. Hanauer!

Not many people know my old friend and Imagekind co-founder is also a professional poker player.

His results in the 2007 World Series last week were very impressive!

Congratulations Adrian!
