Cryonics

So there's this dilema with getting frozen... You can't get frozen, until you die... but when you die, you can't own any assetts... hmm...

You can't take it with you. So Arizona resort operator David Pizer has a plan to come back and get it.

Credit Cards

The past year I had the worst experiences with my GM Mastercard... so bad infact, when I accidentally lost it and had to deal with them I just flat out stopped using it. Good riddance - I was getting so tired of their address verifcation failing everytime I tried to order something online.

Since then I had started using my MBNA Mastercard again (which I've always loved), and when I called them today to switch it to their 1% cash-back card, they where incredibly nice and even upgraded my account to a Quantum (from my platinum plus).

I heart MBNA.

I just hope that BofA doesn't mess things up over at MBNA too much.

Bank of America completed its acquisition of MBNA on Sunday in a deal worth about $34.2 billion, the nation's second-largest bank said.
