Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

I’ve never really discussed it on Slope, but I’m a lifelong fan of maps, particularly old maps. I own a few ancient maps, some in full color, dating back nearly 500 years. I was thus quite intrigued by this gargantuan online map of medieval Europe. For those of you similarly inclined, please check it out, because the detail is astonishing, and it’s hard to imagine just what a mosaic Europe was back then.
More than a few people have asked me how I managed to grow a $100,000 virtual account into, at one point just a week ago, over $15 million.
