A new report from 24/7 Wall St. listed the following thirteen states in America that had "booming" real personal income per capita over the past decade.

Remember when you thought you would never need to use any of that geometry in real life? Well, here's an every day situation where (what should be) basic math can tell you which is the better deal: Two 12" pizzas or One 18" pizza?

I knew I wasn't alone! According to Pew research, it looks like the number one reason people use Youtube is to learn new things. I spend more time than I care to admit on Youtube, but I'm not just watching cat videos, I'm learning how to do things like forging, woodwork, electronics, guitar, etc.

Let me start by saying that I have great respect for teachers. I am not saying that because I am trying to endear myself to anyone or to get some warm and fuzzy feeling. I am saying it because I have a child who goes to school. I'm saying it because I try to be a good parent and help my child with her homework, which gives me just the slightest glimpse into her teacher's experience...
