There are 5,000 janitors in the US with PhDs

Just read an article in Gizmodo on the value of a bachelors degree.  I used to feel sympathy towards the people in 3rd world countries (i.e. India, Philippines, Pakistan, etc.) where the local economy couldn't provide the educated class a good paying job.  I just realized that America was also in that category.  What a gyp!

The Rube Goldberg Smartphone

Topic: Technology

Here's an interesting article in lifehacker.com on how to turn an iPod Touch into a phone.  Once I get some money, I think I'll try it out.

Natural Burials

This article is a bit of a grim topic but its something I think is important.  Its about how we've been trained to think that we need to spend a bundle on funeral homes.  Frankly the surviving family members need the thousands of dollars more than the dear departed.  Face it- they're gone and blowing a fortune isn't going to make them think better of you.  You had your whole life to prove yourself to them.  If your concerned, speak to your family about it and ask if it's alright with them.  Anyway, I hope you read this article and hold your skepticism back a bit.  

Also, my interest doesn't coincide with a desire on my part to "kick the bucket" anytime soon.  Just in case you might of been concerned.
