I just wanted to let you know that I've built two new sites, a corporate web site for my computer consulting business, Computer Monkeys (established in 1996), and a companion blog, the Computer Monkeys Blog.

If you're "into" buying, building, securing, maintaining, fixing, or getting the most out of your computer, please take a look at both sites; I'm sure you'll find some useful information there.

Thanks for your consideration. Happy July 4!

Here's an interesting story from one of my favorite sites, Freakonomics:

When I was a first-year assistant professor at the University of Chicago, my friend and department chair, Jose Scheinkman, relayed the advice Milton Friedman had given him 20 years earlier, “Don’t save too much.”

What do you think?

Here are some money-saving tips for new parents. Being a new parent (twice now), I can vouch for this. Raising children is a very expensive proposition.

If you're not "expecting" now, but want to have children, just go to BabysRUs and Target and see how much things cost.

• Diapers -- for 2 kids, over $100 per month
• Daycare/pre-school -- for 1 kid, full time $1500-1800, part time $800-1000
• Food -- Free for the newborn if nursing (use this if you can, but buy a high-quality breast pump to store milk in the freezer. Oh, yeah, buy a deep freezer too. More money)
• Open a 529. College will cost $1 million in 20 years. Or something like that.

Kids are wonderful. But they're expensive. And these are just expected bills. Wait for the trips to the ER. I've been there a lot with my two boys. It all adds up to...early stroke, heart attack, or looney bin.
