			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Just a couple of quick hits from other blogs this morning:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;">The <a href="http://bailoutsleuth.com/2009/01/a-little-levity/">Bailout Sleuth</a> has a link to the Bailout Game, which was created by Minnesota based <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.blueearth.net">Blue Earth Interactive</a>.  I haven&#8217;t played it yet but apparently, you get to be Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke, guiding them down Wall St. giving away money.  I haven&#8217;t played yet but apparently the goal is to get across the board without running out of money.  Sounds better than the Wii I&#8217;ve been jonesing for!  The game can be found at <a href="http://www.thebailoutgame.us/"><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);font-family:Times New Roman;" >http://www.thebailoutgame.us</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;">Over at  <a href="http://smallbiztrends.com/">Small Business Trends</a>, they have a post this morning on the <a href="http://smallbiztrends.com/2009/01/top-10-trends-in-managing-small-business-finances-in-2009.html/">Top 10 Trends in Managing a Small Business</a>.  A couple of interesting ones.  You&#8217;ll note I mentioned <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.freshbooks.com">Fresh Books </a></span>in a previous post.  <span style="font-size:130%;">I&#8217;ve been using this more and more as its a pretty good tool for time tracking and invoicing.  Also includes an interesting insight into the increased use of bartering for small businesses.  As an FYI, my services can be bought in exchange for fine wines!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;">For those of you interested in a change of life style, <a href="http://www.businesspundit.com/australia-offers-best-job-in-the-world/">Business Pundit</a> has a link to what is being called the best job in the world. Apparently, Australia needs someone to manage an island; yes the pay and benefits beat working at the Vann Group!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:130%;">Lastly, its January, so that means American Idol is back.  MSNBC has a hit list of Simon Cowell&#8217;s best<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7383887/?pg=2#SimonSays"> one liners</a></span> in a previous post.</div>
