Problems with the USB

Ever try to add files to your USB only to find there isn't enough room on the device? But wait, there are no files on the USB and I should have 4 GB.

Clear your trash can. Files aren't fully deleted from the device until you clear it from the Trash. Then you will see the full amount available.

How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis

Good poem I just found. It can be found at www.felixdennis.com

Good fortune? The fact is
The more that you practise [sic],
The harder you sweat,
The luckier you get.

Ideas? We've had 'em
Since Eve deceived Adam,
But take it from me
Execution's the key.

The money? Just pester
A likely investor.
To get what you need
You toady to greed.

The talent? Go sign it!
But first, wine and dine it.
It's tedious work
With a talented jerk.

Good timing? To win it
You gotta be in it.
Just never be late
To quit or cut bait.


Expansion? It's vanity!
Profit is sanity.
Overhead begs
To walk on two legs.

The first step? Just do it
And bluff your way thru' it.
Remember to duck!
God speed...
and good luck!

Work is a Philosphy

Mike Rowe is a great speaker. Listen to this inspiring video about work, dirty work, and rethinking how you think about the things you do. Watch the Video.

So cool.
