A guy I worked with out in California has come up with a product that lets you practice surfing at home.
It’s called the Goof Board.
Basically it looks like a skate board without wheels sitting on top of a ridged plastic tube. It is supposed to help learn to balance better which would ultimately make you a better surfer.
You can check it out at goofboard.com and/or the video below.
I wasn’t planning on it but I happened to grab my computer a couple of minutes before Facebook opened up folks to get their vanity URL’s. I was able to get dan.masters and so my Facebook URL is now -
So my wish has come true and the ailing Washington Mutual has been scooped up by other bank Chase (or JP Morgan Chase as they like to be called). It seems that the FDIC swooped in and shut them down and Chase bought up what was left (mostly the depositors like me).
With that my wife and I have around 15 accounts with WAMU JP Morgan Chase. Obviously we will hold on to the higher interest savings accounts that we have with WAMU and now I don’t need to open a new business account with Chase as my WAMU biz account will transfer over.
I would say that the only unfortunate things about the transition is that they say that the “systems” should be integrated by the end of next year.
