I recenlty noticed this Best Buy advertisement on a website:

I am a little bit disturbed how close the words “buy” and “happier” are.  It is like they are trying to send a clear message saying that you need to spend money in order to be happy.

I refute this and claim that you don’t need to “buy” to be happy.

Converted all my SSL apps to Google App Engine. I didn't want to have to pay for my own SSL certificate any more, and App Engine allows for SSL sites with valid and recognized certificates (on their appspot.com domain) for free.
