Step In Time with a Bag of Weed
Apr 26th
I really just liked the song because it’s essentially Step In Time from Mary Poppins. I just can’t help but think about all the tax revenue legalization would bring in if it were regulated like tobacco.
Until then, just say no.
At least they're honest

As advertised, if it were a bit cheaper, I just might buy one to say I officially have it!

The (Re)Birth of a Star(Playr)
Apr 11th
I was excited to find out last week that starplayr.com has been relaunched. With a couple new links and news that StarPalyr 2 will be relaunched.
Personally, without the convenience of a product like StarPlayr, I have let my Sirius XM subscription lapse with no immediate plans to subscribe again. I still have the Sirius unit in my car that was installed when I bought it and have never paid for a subscription on so I don’t feel bad about that one.
At work, I’ve once again fallen in love with Pandora and in particular PandoraJam.

You have to give credit where it’s due… and one teacher in Idaho had a pretty good idea. Selling the footer space of the paper he uses for his class to a business to help subsidize paper costs.
Doing a quick search on Google, I found that this wasn’t necessarily a new idea, but still a good one at that. Here’s another article for a similar thing but this teacher used a business model.
At 3 cents a page, his tests would cost more than $500 a year. His copying budget: $316.
$10 for a quiz, $20 for a chapter test, $30 for a semester final.
