Some of you may want to find a way to kick that soda drinking habit, while others might want to remedy just part of it. Soda is full of nasty, addictive and delicious sugary little num-nums.

Probably the most influential person in personal computing today has retired. It’s what Bill Gates has done that actually seeded my interest in computers. If it wasn’t for him I’d be some successful movie/rock star, a doctor, or an inventor. Heck, I’d probably have a tan and crazy sexy hair all over my back and chest. I like how the hair puffs up around the neck when you wear a “V” neck t-shirt.
We’ve seen what changes he’s made in the world with Microsoft, now it’s time to see what changes in the world he will make through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Thanks!
I have done all of these, today was exceptionally busy with walk-in solicitors. Here is some simple math, if a solicitor spends 2-3 minutes explaining to you what they sell or what they are trying to unload. Lets say you get 2 of these a day totalling about 5 minutes of your time each day, 5 days a week. Thats 25 minutes a week mulitplied by 52 weeks a year (given you are open year round). 25 x 52 = (mumble mumble, carry the 1…) 1300 minutes. That’s 21.67 hours a year of precious time and this is not including telemarketers. You figure thats $5.3 billion dollars given there are 24.7 million businesses1 in the United States and saying the average pay rate of a typical employee who has to deal with the solicitor is $10/hr. Now that’s something that will make you want to cut your ear off.
Imagine how much bloggers are costing their companies!
