We all do it. Wait till the last minute and then try to find the money to buy Christmas gifts for all the people on our list. Well no more. K-mart has introduced the ability to layaway online now for 8 weeks. That means you can start paying on the items now and then get then delivered to your door in December just in time for the holidays. They even have a 12 week in [...]

Today  I wrote a post that appears on the huffington post today that talks about the recent donation by Mark Zuckerberg and how another group called free press spent their money last week. You can read the post here and  listen to my audio podcast below.
