Are Payday Loan Businesses Evil?
I have been looking into the payday loan business. It intrigues me both as an entrepreneur but even more so on the ethics side.

10 Myths About Electrical Consumption at Home
I have recently started monitoring our home’s electrical consumption on a very granular level. When we went away for a week and came back, I realized that our house was, just by existing, using an average of 4 KWH per day. That’s actually a lot although I’ve not come up with a good analogy. So, I started thinking about whether…
