What’s Up Wednesdays: Timeshares, Roommates, and Contest Reminder
April 14th, 2010 by Michael KwanWith that matter out of the way, let’s get on with the posts from around the blogosphere. Enjoy.
Wil Wheaton first entered the public eye as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation so many years ago. He’s still around and, most recently, he offers his perspective from behind the scenes at the Big Bang Theory taping. He was featured in the episode that aired earlier this week.
Claudia and Sergio Olivos are ready for a bit of a change in their lives. They’re “changing course” by selling their Puerto Vallarta timeshare and spending four months out of the year in Santiago, Chile instead. If you want the Mexican timeshare, which is worth about $25k, you can have it for just $13k. The timeshare is at Playa del Sol Grand, sleeps up to eight people, and offers a great infinity pool to boot.
Buzz Bishop must have been inspired by my recent visit to the Alberta Badlands, because he decided to go on a day trip with his son to see the dinosaurs in Drumheller. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is great for kids of all ages, including those who are young at heart. Buzz and Z also transversed a suspension bridge, climbed all over the Hoodoos, and gazed into the prairie landscape.
The Google Lady echoes a sentiment expressed by many professionals around the web. Why do some writers charge so little? They’re willing produce lengthy articles for pennies and all this does is perpetuate the perception that quality writing should be cheap. You have to remember that you get what you pay for. Experienced, quality freelance writers charge what they are worth. It’s about value, not about being cheap.
Bob Buskirk is always looking for new ways to extend his dot com lifestyle. He already has a successful network of computer-related sites, but now he has launched a new website called I Hate My Roommate. As you can probably fathom, it’s a place where people can complain about the people who share their homes. Do you have a bad roommate?
