Ahh! It's March already! I can hear the bell tolling for me now..

Something I came across on daytraders.com:

Before you read this page, take about $10,000 in crisp, brand new one hundred dollars bills out into the back yard and pour lighter fluid all over them and then strike a match. Don't burn your money just yet, but stand there and always remember that at any given time, when you are day trading for a living, you are risking probably that much money or more and it may be in as much risk. Our analogy is fairly accurate and if that bothers you, then perhaps you might consider another line of work, because I don't know any GOOD day traders that haven't seen at least $10,000 go up in a puff of smoke during market hours and their learning process (and you thought college was expensive!).

Thanks for the advice.

While I'm quoting things, here's Jax's .plan:

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He is brave and gentle and wise!

Stronger than all the rest,
this mighty robot will pass the test,
Oh villains fear him, so we cheer him,
The amazing AstroBoy!

You can guess where that came from. KGL has a much briefer .plan:

I really thought I could make it to bed early for a change

Early being before three in the morning (Late for me is midnight!).

Oops. Had a drifting tag that KGL and Laz pointed out. Fixed now.

We've had pretty funky weather today. It started raining this morning. I managed to walk out just as it started (and hence got soaked by the time I made it to school). Around lunchtime it cleared up and the sun came out. I thought for a while there that we'd actually get a really nice day, but a couple of hours later, the clouds rolled in again and the rain just came on down. It's let up a bit, and I can see that it's brightening up in the distance, but we'll see what happens. I don't want to get wet on the way back (I gotta get milk too.. remind me).

Well, it seems as if my prediction was correct. The skies did clear and the sun did come on out to share it's light with us. What I didn't see was that there was an even larger and blacker cloud behind the clouds that dumped the rain on us this afternoon. Pretty funky weather indeed.

I better be quick. Laz has been working on that page of his, while KGL finally went to bed (relatively) early for once! That's about it for today.

Still not finished marking those labs *stares at stack* but I don't wanna get wet so.. I'm gonna get going. A bit of news about internet tax and the upcoming Palm IPO (tomorrow), but must dash!
