Welcome to Something for Nothing

Many people have requested more cities to be added to the So You Think You Can Dance tour. They’ve added more cities, but seem to still have some glaring holes. First, So You Think You Can Dance is still not going to Canada. Sorry Canadians, you’ll have to travel to Buffalo, NY if you want to see it. Texas is still missing from the tour. Most importantly, they still haven’t added Las Vegas!! They must still have more cities to add to the list. Vegas MUST make their list to be a tour.

I recently came across the website Cambrian House and was completely intrigued with what they are doing. In simple terms they are taking open source and applying money. However, it also uses crowd sourcing to decide which ideas are worth developing.

They have a sign up contest going on right now where you can become apart of Guiness Book by signing up for Cambrian House

For all of those that read this and want to help me out you can take a look at the ideas I’ve submitted and vote them up for me. Here are my best ideas so far:

It’s Just Lunch for Networking

Gwabs Gone Dancing/Hot Gwabs Contests

You should know that Gwabs is a mix of having a desktop creature and competing against other desktop creatures in a battle. The cool part is that you can use items from the desktop like a start bar to fight. My idea is similar, but applies dancing to desktop creatures. I call them desktop dancers.

This is the first link promotion I’ve done and 2 of my ideas are doing pretty good. They’ve always been in the top 20 and there have been a lot of good comments on my ideas. Hopefully a little link promotion will help them go even higher.

My profile has links to my other ideas that weren’t so good and will have a list of all the ideas I submit in the future.

Should be interesting to see what happens with Cambrian House. Thanks for all those who vote for my ideas.

Let me know what you think of my ideas.

When you start to look at buying a home the first thing you are going to want to play with is a mortgage calculator. Mortgage calculators are great ways for you to find out either how much house you can afford or if you are independently wealthy, how much your payment will be for the house you want to purchase. Mortgage calculators are pretty straightforward to use expect when it comes to finding the interest rate. I never knew what to put. I think I always put it high just to make sure I wasn’t fooling myself. However, I recently found a mortgages site that tells you what the market interest rate is for a variety of different types of loans. Here’s what the list had when I visited the site:

3/1 ARM avg 5.69%
5/1 ARM avg 6.27%
15 Yr FRM avg 6.27%
30 Yr FRM avg 6.63%
IO 15 Yr/30 6.50%
Best 30 Yr FRM 6.38%
Best HELOC 5.75%
ARM 3 Yr 6.00%
LIBOR 5 Yr/1 6.00%
Jumbo 100% No $ Down 4.13%

Most people only need to know about the 30 fixed rate mortgage which is going at 6.27% or one of the ARM mortgages. Looking at the list of choices is just a nice reminder that there are a lot of options out there for people who want a mortgage to choose from.

Tonight is the first of the final episodes of So You Think You Can Dance. I’m not exactly sure on how the 2 finale shows of So You Think You Can Dance are going to happen, but I’m excited to see the final dances. The final 4 dancers are as follows:
Travis Wall
Heidi Groskreutz
Donyelle Jones
Benji Schwimmer

This is exactly the order I think that they should be voted off the final 4 of So You Think You Can Dance with Benji being America’s favorite dancer.

Travis should be out of the competition first. I know all the ladies out there love gay men, but it’s just time for him to go. He’s a good modern dancer, but he isn’t the entertainer that the other 3 are. Although, his Krumpin was still one of the best dances of the whole show.

I’m really sad to put Heidi going off number 3. She’s number one on my personal favorites, but this blog isn’t about my personal favorites. It’s about realistically what’s going to happen on So You Think You Can Dance tonight. Heidi is fantastic to watch. Unfortunately, I don’t think she has the same intrigue that Donyelle has that gets people out to vote. Sorry cousin Heidi, but you’re not gonna win this time. However, you’re always welcome to come dance at my house.

Donyelle comes in second because there are a lot of people really pulling for Donyelle. I think that America loves the underdog and in this final 4 I think Donyelle is the underdog. Plus, if you saw her booty shakin in the last couple shows you will see why I think she’s going to beat out Heidi.

Of course that leaves America’s favorite dancer as Benji. Sorry Donyelle, but Benji had to beat you out with a simple popularity issue with the way voting is handled. More girls vote and therefore Benji’s got you beat. It’s simple as that. The audience agrees since they chant BENJI BENJI BENJI every time he dances. He does have a charisma that is better than all of the rest. Plus, I guess girls like his booty shakin. I’m not sure quite why. Baby don’t got back.

There you have it. It’s written here and that’s what’s going down tonight. I could see Nigel getting real upset with me revealing the results of the final episode of So You Think You Can Dance before the show even airs. Sorry Nigel. America just had to know. I had to give it to them straight and tell them what’s going to happen. Next time you should sign me up as a judge and then you wouldn’t have this problem. I’d be up there with you taking care of critiqueing the popularity of that person rather than their dancing style.

Plus, there is another reason Nigel won’t care that I’m revealing the results of the final show. People don’t watch the show for the results. The watch the show because the dancing is Hot HOT HOT!!!

I’m sure many of you out there are missing your beloved Natalie Fotopoulos since she was benched on the show So You Think You Can Dance. Well, I went back into the archives and found Natalie Fotopoulos and Musa Cooper dancing. Natalie just seemed to really go downhill since Musa left. Nigel was right about that. So, hopefully this video will remind us of Natalie’s potential:
