As promised in my last weekly roundup, starting this week my roundup is an open stage for any one to enter, not just Yakezie challengers. Throughout the week I visit a lot of  other blogs for inspiration and knowledge. This week, I will present some of those articles which made me think and which I found a little different from regular ‘save money on this’ and ‘save money on that’ articles.

I do write ‘save money’ articles often but, frankly speaking almost all possible ways of saving money by a common man have been discovered already and Google is quiet efficient in getting those articles to you if you need. I agree that basic stuffs need to be refreshed regularly hence, I will continue to write many ‘save money’ articles in future.

A typical blogger is a good reader, unless you read you can’t write. Shakespeare and Dickens read almost all classics of their time and then surpassed all of them with their creation. We read many blog posts each day. We need to keep writing and for that we need to fuel our cells continuously, this fuel comes from  continuous reading, its like two wheels of a bike, if one moves the other has to move and when one stops the other stops.

Around 8 PM at night I got a mail that planes are hitting world trade center building. I turned to CNN and watched those horrible pictures. In front of my eyes the towers went down. I watched in shock till very late morning hours. (I was in geographically opposite side of the globe that time).

It took little time for the after-effect to reach me.

I was just a newbie software programmer at IBM, recruited through on campus selection process at college. After working for one year on couple of client projects (I was in global services so had to work for clients as consultants), I was in transition period while waiting for a new assignment.

Readers, welcome to the 9th Yakezie challenger round up and monthly blog update. Things change really quick in blogging world. This round up was once a regular weekday feature.  And my week ends used to be no-new-post days. Now, I am struggling to get a day out, last week I hosted yakezie carnival and didn’t have any free slot to push in this round up and this happen twice in last one month that I didn’t publish challenger roundup. Moreover, I have to now publish blog update and round up in a single post.

I get excited to read emails asking me when’s my round up going out. I love that!

I am thankful to all who search in Google to get to my round up (hey, there is a search option on my blog too), I regularly see incoming search traffic containing “one cent yakezie challenger roundup” or similar which is a great enthusiasm on your part and tells me some of you still have a high value for this round up. I love the fellow bloggers who comment or give me a link love back.

What a week this has been! Steve and Irene were the two most popular names in the American news media. In world media, perhaps it’s Gaddafi who was in the limelight.

While Steve made Apple ‘job’ less, Irene made people homeless. I don’t have AAPL in my portfolio, so I don’t care if it’s Steve or someone else at the helm, but when a category 4 hurricane comes rushing, I panic! Living in south Florida is like living on the fault line – under constant threat of the biggest weather forces coming toward you and taking your every belonging away. If you can save your life, you are fortunate.

Irene was originally directed toward us, only to change direction towards the most populated areas of the United States.
