Save $ on your cell phone

When buying/upgrading your cell phone service, pay for the new stuff using your credit card – immediately.

If you add your new stuff to your monthly bill you’ll pay all the FCC fees that you do every month – except on a larger amount than normal. The FCC doesn’t break out your new stuff from the service fees. It’s all lumped together and taxed as if it all applies to service.

Hey, every little bit helps.

The Beauty of Being Shortwinded

.. is that if you don’t have anything to say, you say nothing.

(hence the sparseness of postings here)

Unwinnable Battles

There are at least two unwinnable arguments:

1) My wife is better than yours
2) My dog is the best dog in the world

Ten Minutes or Less

You can accomplish many things with ten minutes of focused work.

I lived off of ten minutes of focused work for an entire year. In those ten minutes I created some software that I built many things upon that year. It was the foundation of an entire year’s salary. I became known for those ten minutes.

Try it. Focus on your problem, your work, your plans, your future for ten minutes. See what happens.

It Seems To Work

There is a point in every project where you’ve built it and it is time to test. You begin testing and with a coupla tweaks you get to the point where it seems to work.

How long, how much more testing do you do before you move from “it seems to work” to “it works!”.

Quality is determined because there is a lot of time and a lot of trials until it is deemed to be “it works!”

These days, more and more products get to the “it seems to work” phase and then shipped. Soon people determine that it doesn’t always work.

Where is pride in workmanship? Has it been lost in cost cutting?

I’ll Never Forget Old What’s His Name

I have trouble remembering names. But I remember people – their faces look familiar, but their names never get to my tongue.

I still remember them, just not their names. Places & faces only.

wiht teh

Typing too fast can leave you with words like wiht and teh. But nearly everyone can figure out what you mean.
If you live with someone long enough, even noises can be easily understood – you can tell a whole story and end up rolling on teh floor!
Talk about being shortwinded!

It’s Not Yours Until You Do Something To It

When I buy a house or a car it doesn’t feel like it’s mine until I do something to it.
Paint a room, wash the car, add this or that. Then it’s mine.
(even though the bank may own the majority of either!)

Your idea is worth a penny

An idea, any idea, is worth almost nothing.

It is when you use that idea to create something that the idea becomes valuable

idea + action = worth
