My passport recently expired, and since I’m planning a European trip this summer, I need to renew it ASAP. I grabbed the passport application from the Post Office and zipped over to Kinko’s since I knew they took passport-approved photos there. It can’t cost more than a couple bucks for two small photos, right? Someone wants me to pay $13. For two lousy photos? As your passport photo. Bummer.

Carnival of Net Worth – AT&T Sucks edition. Welcome to the June 17, 2009 edition of the carnival of net worth. Though AT&T has absolutely nothing to do with the carnival this week, I thought it important to mention their supreme suckiness in the title.

Save Money with Google Docs. Don’t be so quick to give Microsoft your money. It’s 2009 folks, and there are great alternatives to Microsoft Office. What I’ve been transitioning to is Google Docs.
