My favorite three MLB teams have the three best records so far, a third of the way through the season. Math geeks – what are the odds? Show your work. I was okay at math but the worst I ever did was on a test about statistics and factorials in …

This new app will give you one free drink per day in a bar near you. This week’s theme seems to be “drinking for free”.  Yesterday, I write about how to get into Las Vegas clubs for free. Frink is a start-up that just launched in Hoboken, NJ.  Their business model …
