CASHFLOW the Web Game
Mar 14th
The CASHFLOW game was designed by Robert and Kim Kiyosaki as a way for people to learn the keys to smart investing in a fun way, without risking any real money. The game is designed to teach you how to think like the rich and learn what it takes to get out of the rat race and live a financially independent life.
Lots of fun. I have played the board game, the CD-ROM version, as well as this latest online version. The online version is cool because there are new cards and you can find real people to play with online. Great way to meet like-minded. There are a few other subtle improvements to the game over the previous versions which I enjoy such as the comic book style introduction and the things that can happen in the game which make it feel quite true to modern life. Unlike Monopoly.
Check it out. I think during the Beta you can play for free. If not, the Rich Dad Insider membership is worth it!

Loading ...Gridded Layouts and Simplified Markup
Mar 4th
Really sold on gridded layouts lately. Loving the SASS version of 960.gs provided as a plugin for Compass. Albeit, have made some of my own improvements to it so my custom one is a little better. Will share that later.
For now, recommended you check out the following projects:
- Compass; specifically video demo
- SASS markup language; better than CSS
- HAML markup language; better than (X)HTML
- 960.gs, its sketch pdf, and its SASS Compass Plugin equivalent
- 960 Gridder javascript overlay bookmark
- A List Apart: Setting Type on the Web to a Baseline Grid article
- Text Gridder javascript overlay bookmark (my own)
- Sparkup markup language; specifically video demo
- Sparky my Compass-like compiler for Sparkup
Very cool combination for Rapid Application Development (RAD). Especially applied to web design.
