What's Your Cubical Like?

On a number of occasions I will point out that a job is equal to "cubical-slavery" but whether you plan on leaving it like I am or living in it your whole life, its the place you are at the most so why not make it look cool. CNN did this awesome article on some nice cubicals. The picture shown there is very interesting but a bit small so here you can see another nice cubical design from LifeAfterCoffee. I would show mine but I emptied it since it'll soon be vacant. Just simple papers and tasks there now. If you got a cool cubical post a link to its picture in the comments section.

My iPhone 3G Waiting Time

Yesterday before going out to see the amazing Dark Knight Movie I went to go buy a 3G iPhone but with no luck since every place here on Long Island was completely sold out. Its not much of a surprise because of how hot the item is and being a store owner myself I completely understand running out of a hot item. Yet, the wait times for the 3G here is about 20 business days from time of purchase! I thought Apple was making enough 3Gs to accommodate the obvious huge surge in sales...which I think they did but the retail stores sure didn't note it from the looks of it. Luckily I did get to test it out a bit as a demo and my anime site came up pretty fast indeed. I simply love the apps and might join in the apple dev group to make my own. Other than not having one yet, I've seen no issues with the 3G. Any issues on your end? (if any of you do indeed read this)

BTW for CAS (Chuck's Anime Shrine) I will make a mobile version for iPhones and other phones.

College and Its Credit Bedfellows

I know, yet another post about college but I simply had to put this out. Looks like the country's financial issue stems alot more into the whole University-to-Cubical-Slave dogma then even I thought. Check out this article just posted by BusinessWeek. In it they show that colleges and alumni associations get paid HUGE money by banks if the they sell student contact info to them for of course credit card applications and student loans. It continues to amaze me how we continue to throw our kids (and our wallets) into universities like sheep to the slaughter (as seen in the articles lovely pics shown here).
As stated in my previous post about how worthless a college education is now and the sort-of hidden motives by colleges; this article just shows that this country's lack of money stems right at that focal point. $400K homes and the ever raise in the cost of living wouldn't have fallen to this economic depression we are in if people were taught the truth that the best point of wealth is not to rot in a cubical of a job (jackass of boss) all their life but instead be their own boss down the road with a job as a buffer. I did post a length comment on this story under the name Chuck G. of course, so if you want to add on to this here or on BusinessWeek...be my guest. The picture below shows the amount of money some universities get. Its absolutely sickening.
