I’ve written about Iwillteachyoutoberich.com before, but last week I read another one of those posts where I’m just like, “Ramit, this is why you are the man.”

I’ve linked to a few of Ramit’s posts before and he’s on my blogroll, but the other day it hit me: his blog is really good. It came out of nowhere and it made me take a closer look to see what it is about his blog that makes me like it so much.

I heard back from my work today and they told me it’s totally cool to continue writing on my blog despite it being kind of similar to what I’ll be doing for them.
