Arrr.

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day. Where's the rum?

mint:refreshing money management
I was lucky enough to get into the private beta of Mint, and it's really fun. Mint is a personal money manager that can get transaction info right from your bank or credit card so everything's all in one place, and it's secure, so you don't have to worry about losing anything.

Why do it?


  • A little financial organization.

  • Insight into where their money goes, across all accounts.

  • Email & SMS bill reminders and alerts.

  • Personalized savings suggestions.

  • It's free.

I've got no financial interests to disclose, this is just fun software.

In case you've felt the burning desire to contact me in the past but disdain the use of the comment box, I now have a cell phone. Comment and I will send you the number...as long as I know you ;) Fair warning: it's a prepaid phone that costs money every time I turn it on, so it will mostly be off, and you will get voicemail. However, I will check my voicemail regularly, and the phone will mostly be turned on during weekends.
