This is a great new service for sending and receiving cash through your cell phone - almost like a Paypal for cell phones :-) And the great news is, they are paying you $5 to sign up for this service. The service itself is absolutely free and there is no contract. This is sure to be a huge thing. It should be great for paying your half of the lunch you had with a friend, or the movie tickets that your friend bought for you or for making and receiving payment on craigslist etc.

Wired News:
Have you ever heard Coast to Coast AM - it sure is a strange radio station. The only times I have listened is when I am traveling and trying to find some late night talk show on the AM dial in a different city - this program is always there. They talk mostly about paranormal - Area 51, UFO's, out of body experiences, etc. but it has great entertainment value. On the other hand, it's kind of representative of the superstitions and illiteracy of the middle-America - the continuing debate over evolution vs. intelligent design, etc.
The Dilbert Blog: Wisdom for Grads
Wisdom for Grads - Scott Adams
I’ve been asked to compile some Dilbert advice for new graduates who have no idea what’s awaiting them in the business world. I’m talking about practical advice. Here are some of the ones that come to mind.
The person who sits nearest the boss’s office gets the most assignments.
Your potential for senior management will be determined by the three H’s: Hair, Height, and Harvard degree. You need at least two out of three. (Non-Harvard schools will be acceptable if it’s clear that you “could have gone” to Harvard.)
Your hard work will be rewarded. Specifically, your boss’s boss will reward your boss for making you work so hard.
There’s no such thing as good ideas and bad ideas. There are only your own ideas and other people’s. If you want someone to like your idea, tell him he said it last week and you just remembered.
Teamwork is what you call it when you trick other people into ignoring their priorities in favor of yours.
Leadership is a form of evil. No one needs to lead you to do something that is obviously good for you.
You can estimate the time for any project by multiplying the number of idiots involved by one week and adding the number of capable co-workers times four weeks. (The competent ones are busier.)
In any group of three coworkers, at least one of them will be a sadistic loser intent on grabbing your ankle as he circles the drain.
Non-monetary incentives are every bit as valuable as they sound.
Business success is mostly about waiting for something lucky to happen and then taking credit.
Preparing a Powerpoint presentation will give you the sweet, sweet illusion of productivity.
It is better to be an “expert” than it is to do actual work.
The first month on any new job should be spent talking smack about the “idiot who had the job before you.”
Here's a great collection of Cheney shooting jokes - I think this issue has bi-partisan support - whether you are a republican or a democrat, you can't deny the incredible comic value of this incident. One feels sorry for the guy who got shot though - I hear that now he's had a heart attack as a result of the injuries sustained in the shooting incident. Hope he comes out OK.

Here's an excellent live video camera looking out towards Monterey Bay from the Aquarium. Even at night when you can't see anything, the audio of waves crashing and the sea birds is fabulous.

A good primer to quench your thirst for useless knowledge.
Like Pascal said "Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything."
