“That is so last year

Variations on the same idea exist in other ringtons, that take the usual ‘cutoff’ age to hear them even younger, I think late 20s-early 30s.”

Scott is a punk.

3.2 million - Number of teachers working in U.S. public school
2.8 million - Estimated number of new hires needed by 2015
30% - Estimated percentage of new teachers who quit the profession within three years

Why Teachers Quit:

Lack of time to prepare - 60%
Too heavy a teaching load - 51%
Class sizes too large - 50%
Poor salary or benefits - 48%
Student behavioral problems - 44%
Lack of influence in school - 42%

Engadget - Desktop Computers in Starbucks

I seriously laughed out loud when I saw one of the computers loading Windows 95!
Actually, all the pranks these guys do are hilarious. If you check out their website they have another great prank in which they (about 50 guys) go into a Abercrombie & Fitch shirtless. [In that store there is a shirtless male model that greets everyone at the door, along with huge posters of shirtless men, and a statue of a shirtless man] Hilarious!

In unrelated news, I finished John Grisham’s new book….and it was awesome!

A ringtone that old (defined as ~50 for this case) people can’t hear…..

Can you hear the ringtone?

I’m extremely happy I was finally able to set up a ftp server from home.

Now the only problem is that when I’m at school the files don’t download to my computer very quick.  I’ve got the fastest connection Mediacom offers, 1mb upload speed…but I only got a portion of that the few times I’ve tried transferring files from home to here via FTP.

In other news, it’s Wednesday.  That means it’s mens rec day!
I need it because about half my dress pants don’t fit around the waist any more without me having to stretch the buttons to their limits…and maybe past.

And in other other news, I was able to jailbreak my iPhone to version 1.1.3.  I’ve also modified a bunch of the icons, so it’s looking pretty sweet!
