September 19 Talking about Your Digital Lifestyle: Girl from MarsWhere do I download this song??? Your Digital Lifestyle: Girl from Mars September 16 Talking about Wheeler 20 Second Workout I'm going to have to categorize this one as "Entertainment"... because that's what it is. LOL... oh Mike, absolutely priceless June 05 I'm all about 'Pork and Beans' baby!Viral video tutorial in 3 minutes 'Pork and Beans' by Weezer May 06 23 Tons of Nickels. Blessing... or Curse?So let's get this out of the way first. I don't blog. It's blogging hard work ("blog" is the new "smurf" after all), and I don't expect a new entry anytime soon. I had thought that Spencer would have picked up this topic on his own blog, but I just checked and it looks like it's open season. So... what the heck would you do if you "found" 23 tons of nickels? I mean if you just walked outside your house and there was a truckload of it just sitting there. If you need the conversion breakdown 23 tons of nickels is 3.6 million nickels, sitting in 900 bags totaling about $180,000. Let me say that again... THREE POINT SIX MILLION NICKELS!!! I have to believe that it could take 20 lifetimes to properly launder that kind of coin and not draw too much attention from your local arcade/Laundromat Well, according to this article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6826757), someone went out and got them all those nickels. The article is a little old (but I remember reading it back in January), so I don't know if they ever did find the guy who stole it. But C'mon... this is pretty ridiculous. What would you do with 3.6 million nickels? Here are a few ideas I’ve come up with.
April 15 Blogging is HARD work....And I'm a lazy bastard... So what the heck were you expecting? But hey, at least I got my taxes filed! December 18 Like a Lemming to the Flame... or something I've joined in on the bandwagon and bought the same phone that half the people who work in my building already own. Was it just too good to pass up, or did I just want to be like everyone else, or was I simply afraid of blending in and wanted to find a niche to fit in with my co-workers?... hmmm.. Nah! The way I see it, it's a cool phone, the price was reasonable, and if I ever have questions on how to do something with it I'll never run out of people to ask about it. So given all these facts, why the heck not? The bandwagon is nice and cozy, jump on in. BTW - that phone would be the Audiovox SMT 5600 |
