Remember that scene in Office Space about having a million dollars? Here is a neat little animated refresher:
In the movie, Peter goes on to say that if he had a million dollars he would do absolutely nothing. That is the whole point. If you have enough money that you don’t have to work for a [...]
I can’t believe how long it has been since I have posted anything. At some point I just fell out of the habit of blogging and I started thinking that any posts that could break the silence would need to be quite substantial in order to warrant the infrequent posting. I don’t like that.
