Weekly Blog Roundup II, Heroes (Season One) Edition

I’ve been a fan of the television show, Heroes, from the beginning of the first season, but my girlfriend is only a recent convert. We started viewing the first season in order with marathon sessions this past weekend, in between putting together report cards for her students.

Here are some more recent articles from the MoneyBlogNetwork and beyond.

Did You Rent Instead of Buy? Glad You Did? Jim from Blueprint for Financial Prosperity points out a recent Wall Street Journal article about people who are happy ith their decision to rent (such as myself). In fact, if Jim didn’t own a house, he’d probably be renting. Jim’s a logical guy.

Whenever life dealt me a blow, I relied on credit cards to cope with it.” J.D. from Get Rich Slowly has reformed since then.

    sylar’s actual power was intuitive aptitude which basically is to know ‘how things ticked’
    The whole watchmaker job that he had at the beginning shows this extremly well because he was able to tell if a watch was like a second late by just looking at it.
    Because he had this power he could also see into people’s heads and see how they ‘ticked’ he then saw their power and he saw that he could have that power.
    The first power that he actually ‘stole’ was telekinesis where he invited the guy over to his shop and then hit him on the head with the crystal thing and ‘consumed’ his power. somehow.
