“This is America. Pick a job and then become the person that does it.
See, I was going to Blog this Quote when I saw it (on Mad Men) last night, its appropriateness uncanny to the earlier events of my day, when I took a big leap off a really comfy mattress and decided to go freelance doing whatever it is that I do.
What I’m going to do is pick a few American Jobs and see which one offers the best bennies. All about the benjamins. By which I mean sense of lasting cultural contribution.

L(ong) T(erm) E(volution)
Apparently, the next format war (at least as regards the telecommunications industries) is one over the 4G spectrum between WiMAX and something called LTE.
Long Term Evolution is the name give to the project by the International Telecommunication Union. Does this frighten anyone else? Am I right to feel icky? Call it something else, please. Let’s let actual long term evolution keep its namesake and you find some other name with which to market your crazy frog ringtones.
The world is very old.
