Work Hard, Play Nice

Work without purpose is prison

Knowledge is power. It is also employment.

Sometimes you just have to work.

What are your texting habits?

I don't text that much, but holy mackerel! I don't come anywhere near 1,000, let alone three times that. You kids are amazing, or something.

CNN ARTICLE

Here is an interesting financial tidbit on texting from CNNMoney about
America's Biggest Rip-offs.

*Text Messages -- 6,500% Markup*
Text messages are such a tiny piece of data that they cost carriers only
about one-third of a cent to deliver, according to computer scientist
Srinivasan Keshav, who testified before U.S. senators on the issue last
summer.

But on a pay-per-text plan, the 160-character messages typically cost 20
cents outgoing and 10 cents incoming. That's a markup of as much as
6,500%. OMG! =-O "It's pretty much pure profit," Keshav says.
