Go Bush!?!

Bush comments on high CEO salaries and packages. He warned boards to step it up, and commented that CEO salary/packages should be correlated to performace. WOW, um WOW.

Phone Blogging

So I just wanted to see if I could blog entirely on my phone. It appears I can only do txt, pix must use java, boo.

$55k/yr

Well I just received my first job offer:

$55,000 per year with benefits, 2 weeks paid vacation, health care, 401k.

So there we go. I'm the first one (technically besides Liz) to get a 'real' job.

The company is called ECD Ovonics, they make super cheap solar cells and are in Rochester Hills, MI.

Stewert the Dog

Stewert is a dog. He is very much a dog. However, he is also a dog that smiles. He smiles when he is happy to see you. Of course, his tail wags vigorously when he smiles as well. I want a dog like Stewert.

Selling Out

In the words of Dildo Dumphey,

"Look at my FUCKING head!"

Very soon I need to sell my soul to corporate america in hopes of a livable wage, with benefits. I figured if I'm gonna be a bitch, I better start looking like a bitch, smelling like a bitch, and dressing like a bitch. This is important because I expect the man to pay my bitch ass well. So step one was to, in the words of my father, "Cut that fucking hair." Step one complete.

I've also resumed the daily maintance tradition of spraying/wiping some smelly shit on the undersides of my pits. MMMmmmm smell that yummy goodness.

Next up, blowing a few hundred dollars of my hard earned monies on a new wardrobe- should I got all out, head to the nearest mall and go straight into Ambercrombie and Fitch??!!??

Solar Power Towers vs. $400 billion DD budget

Ok so I just read a post:
Aussie Sun Power
And it had some numbers in there that I wanted to crunch. According to Wired: each solar collector (big tower w/ Li Na as a heat transport medium/thermal battery) is capable of producting 154 MW each, and costs ~$420 million (hehe). Hookay, so that means that w/ our $400 billion DD budget, we could build ~1000 of these bastages (!) so that means we could bring 154,000 MW of renewable clean energy on line with ONE YEAR'S DD BUDGET! 154TW! Ok so now I gotta ask, how much energy does the US use in one year, and how big is say 1 nuclear plant?
So after figuring out some retarded units; the US consumed 2.76E7 TW(hrs)/year in 1998. One new nuclear power plants are typically 1TW meaning 8700 TW(hrs)/year. So you could get the equivalent 154 nuclear power plants.

As of Oct 2005 there were 104 nuclear power plants opperating in the US there by creating an equal chunk of the energy pie to nuclear which is currently at ~20%
