  • what happens to most college students after graduation?

    Posted on July 02, 2009 by Denis

    The 18-34 year-old demo is one that grew up on great wealth and what we're facing could be the first real financial jolt we've seen. Sixty-five percent of college seniors plan to live with their parents after they graduate. When you consider that they also have an average of three credit cards and 73 percent will graduate with student loan debt, that makes sense. From a college student who has no savings, to a recent graduate trying to move out of his parents' house, to young people who are trying to stay afloat living on their own, this half-hour takes a look at the personal side of our economic crisis.

  • how to win more at casinos

    Posted on July 01, 2009 by Denis

    This past week has been quite hectic for me as I have been juggling between moving out of my Berkeley apartment, subletting the place out (advertising, taking calls, drafting up legal contracts, etc.), running family errands in the South Bay, studying for MCATs, and organizing a weekend ski/board/casino trip in Tahoe. As a result, I haven't had much time to contribute to the world of Web 2.0 or even think of topics to rant about... until now.

    So last weekend, I tried up my luck at South Lake Tahoe Harrah's casino after a day of playing in the snow at Sierra. I'm not much of a gambling junkie and I consider myself a casual player who plays for fun once in awhile, but casual or not, I still did my due diligence on the topic as I am a strong believer that one often fails at any task if he does not jump into it with guns blazing (i.e. passion) and a plan (i.e. due diligence).

    Here are some good reads I came across when formulating my plan. On a side note, I should thank the state-sponsored world of gambling vice for the inspiration:
