>after having started 20+ articles and having 2000+ edits on wikipedia… i have just realized that it is a @#$@#$ cult. jimbo wales has no intention, ever, of spreading the money to the people who make the site. in fact its an explicit part of his plan not to do it. i.e. he is actively trying to prevent any authors from ever making money off their work there. he discourages any possibility of it happening.meanwhile, various PR flacks are being payed, or paying others, to 'protect' and 'defend' articles about their corporations. its ridiculous. if i was going to write an article about somebody, it would probably be a human rights activist or something. it becomes increasingly hard to justify participating in jimbo wales own personal enrichment plan, unless there is some broader purpose, like getting the word out about a particular dissident or something. and getting the facts down accurately.yes i am interested in grubman, i read the book you refer to as well as 'blood on the street', but the problem is that i need money .. like really really need money, and the 5+ hours it (and the exhaustion it produces) would take to start a good wikipedia article on grubman just dont seem to be worth it for absolutely zero possibility of it every paying back.

>I am in complete agreement with your assessments.In college, when we'd go on trips for frisbee tournaments (ULTIMATE frisbee, of course), we'd always go to Mexican restaurants and pretty much eat a whole mean of chips and salsa and then save our actual meal for the next day. I still employ the concept sometimes, but not to the extreme.

Comment on >Home Project 8: Where Best Buy Loses a Refrigerator by Patrick

>Always happy to help out people who share same tiny house problem. Yes, we did end up finding a fridge online through Sears. It was the 16.5 cubic ft Frigidaire. Unfortunately, the fridge was actually 64 3/8 inches tall, so I ended up having to cut 1/4 inch from the bottom of my cabinets.The fridge itself has been good though. Certainly not as big as the average person's fridge, but just big enough to live out of like a normal person.

>I have no idea if you still check or respond to comments at this point, but I found your page when I did a search for 64.5" refrigerator (since our home was also constructed by gnomes). Did you ever find one that worked? Any suggestions?

>Don't worry, with that basket on top of the fridge no one will ever know. Except all the people who read your blog.
