The US economy turns in a piece of crap 0.6% annualized growth rate for Q1 2007.

Some of you know that I am trying to keep my router up as long as possible. I installed DD-WRT on my Linksys WRT54GL and it as been up for 178 straight days.
It looks like Steam brought my router down to its knees today after I got two different server lists in two different games [...]

Time and time again, I have mentioned broadening top formation. The first time I mentioned it I said that it is quite possible the Nasdaq could hit 2580-2600. The second time I mentioned it, the Nasdaq topped out at 2580.06 and headed south again. However, the Nasdaq made another run to the upper trendline and [...]

April new home sales jumped by 16.2% from the previous month but the median price also fell by 11.1% from the previous month.
You could say sales increase rose 5.1% more than the median price drop…
But the truth is total sales (in dollar amount) is roughly 1.162*0.889=1.03302 or 3.3% higher than the previous month.
Now total sales [...]

I bought Half-Life 2 on Sunday and I just finished it. I’m guessing it took about 25 hours. The ending kinda sucked.
—–SPOILER WARNING —–
Pretty much what happens at the end is that you defeat the last boss (who really isn’t much of a boss and does not offer much resistance) and then a huge explosion [...]

One time I was sitting at a table with a kid. There was a candle on the table and the kid was burning a piece of wood.
Me: Hey kid, check this out.
I lick my finger and I wave it in and out of the candle flame.
Kid: Eh, that’’s nothing. You don”t need to wet your [...]

Early this afternoon, my advisor and I decided to meet in my office at 4pm. He said he might show up at 3:30pm so I ceased fooling around at that time and started looking busy. At 4pm my advisor didn’t show up. No big deal, I figured he’d show up late anyway. At 4:15pm, my [...]

I designed a class F amplifier that delivers 2W to a 50 ohm load. Now I’m reading my textbook and it says that the most power a class F amplifier can deliver to a load is [(4/Pi)*Vdd]^2/(2R). Vdd is 3.3V and R is 50 ohms so the maximum power a class F amplifier can deliver [...]

Retail sales sucked. Market sold off. It’s nice to know there is still at least some sanity left in this market.

Although the 5-6 week uptrend has been broken, the broadening top formation could be false so it’s possible that the market continues to march higher. However, the market is extremely overextended and a pullback is [...]

The broadening top formation I mentioned before is complete.

Now we just need a catalyst:
When the Fed released their policy statement on March 21, the market misinterpreted the statement and the crazy idiot rally started. Even though Ben Bernanke clarified the Fed’s stance during a congressional hearing, the market stupidly continued its upward march.
The Fed will [...]
