Travel week 1

School closed and official travel session kicked off from this weekend. Here 4 year old and wife started going crazy about going out because Chicago has long winter months and we can spend only these summer months for outing. But now we have 6 month old baby also, so we have decided to go near by places.

Today we went to Indiana Duns National Park's west beach, all I can say is, this place is simply superb. I don't know how come the beautiful, white sand mountain formed in this lake shore. But we couldn't spent much time, because of little cold wind. West beach is a small,simple version of Clearwater beach,Florida.

Useful Info
  • Distance from Naperville - 70 Miles (~ 1.30 hours to reach there )
  • Keep map or navigation system handy, there are several construction going on in and around I-80 and some exits are closed.
  • No shops are available, so take sufficient amount of water bottles, food and other necessary items.
  • $6.00 for entrance fees.
  • There are lot of recreational activities and other beaches are there, plan to spend at least a day to see all.

Coupon Crazy

Coupon, Is it good remedy for current inflation fight? I think it is not and coupons are highly addictive. Yesterday when i was in train on the way back home, one lady sitting next to me, cut and cut coupons from newspaper. I was watching it all, to make things worse, she put all waste into me. She carried a separate bag for coupons, the bag was filled of coupons. Okay, that was fine, she is just trying to save some 1 or 2 dollars. After finishing all coupon cutting, she opened other bag and took 3-4 lottery, the one that we have to scratch.So now she started now scratching lotteries, again all wastes into me. I just realized that what ever she saved now from coupon were gone. One day I was standing in queue at Costco for checkout, a man who was standing in front of me had tons of ton items to checkout. I thought i might have to spent another hour or so to check out after him. He placed all items on checkout belt. As soon as, sales clerk started checking the items, he pulled a coupon...

Google's Killer Application.

Already Microsoft getting heat from Google, that Google is capturing all critical functionalities from Microsoft office suite and developed online based Google Docs suite . From many of small business to individuals now using Google docs instead of expensive Microsoft office suite. Now Google released a "sharepoint killer application" named as Sites . It was just redesign of JotSpot wiki, which Google acquired some years back . I think that now Google can declare war against Microsoft office suite. Google has now all replacement products for Microsoft office. Actually now we are expecting a twist from Microsoft that they will release a online based mini office suite to fight against Google Apps.

Uncontrolled Musing

Are we at recession or depression or nothing? Occupywallstreet will become a revolutionary movement or just like tea party, it will also subside?   President Obama able to win job bill or it will go under water.   If we are not in recession, what is the status of this market? What will happen to 401k, IRA and other investments?   Are we bear market or bull market or pig? How many more days (months/years) we need to worry about our job?   When will my home value improves? The above all are somehow interrelated, a better economy spurs growth which will eliminate all uncertainty. But no one here able to pin point what went wrong and how to fix it. If we know the answer, we could have somehow fixed this mess already.The issues with unable to fix current state of economy are, Very co...
