Starting Monday, it costs more to mail http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/10/stamp.prices/index.html Shoot… got to go get the 2 cent stamps… dude! Only if I had bought the forever stamps… Wait a minute… huh? Why the hack then would anyone buy the 39 cent stamps or 42 cent stamps? The cost is one issue, and going to the post office to get the extra stamps is another. Two strikes against that. I don’t get it… I mean… why not everyone stocks up on stamps? Ever since 1919, the stamp price has ever been increasing [ costofstamps.org]. So then, why not simply buy the forever stamps? ...

You got to check this out! Susan Boyle got the hearts of the judges and the audiences not by her appearance, but simply by her singing! Against all odds, people recognized the true beauty below the surface. Besides this being an encouraging story, I have liked the song “I dreamed a dream” ever since I first listened to it.

What a song! 順子 -- 回家 [youtube &hl=en&fs=1] 回家 作詞：順子　作曲：順子　演唱：順子 我還不明白 為什麼你離開了我 沒有你的電話 沒有一封信 我每天晚上在這裡 那裡也不想去 可是　我好愛你 我覺得我會離不開你 可惜　我丟了你 慢慢我的眼淚留下來 回家　回家　我需要你 回家　回家　馬上來我的身邊 Oh~Hm~~Yeah 別再哭　就讓他走 再多痛苦的等候　相信我也能承受 閉上眼　不再留戀 你卻一遍又一遍　出現在想你的夜 別說　不會有結果 永遠永遠　別說分手 而你　又怎麼能夠 就這樣的放手　一去不再回頭 ...

That’s not cool man… Then I came across this blog post that talks about Credit Karma, still in beta, offering free credit scores with ads. Here is an interview with Credit Karma CEO Ken Lin on his purpose of setting up his website. ...

From businessinsider.com What I like about twitter is that: 1. You get to tell people whatever you like to, and vice versa. 2. You can choose from whom you want to hear. 3. I get tweets on my phone, meaning it’s instant and convenient. What a tool!
