My new AT&T plan is the cheapest family plan they have.  I do not want to pay extra to send text messages and I don’t want to pay extra for a data plan.  So if I were to send and/or recieve data through the phone anyways, AT&T will charge me $10.24 per megabyte I transfer.  At that rate, it would have cost me around $5,900 to transfer the amount of data I did last month on my home internet connection.

Damn

Just a little food for thought:

According to wikipedia:

Enthusiasm originally meant inspiration or possession by a divine afflatus or by the presence of a god.

And I might be mistaken here, but I believe it is taken from the greek entheos, which literally means ‘the god within’.  Puts a different spin on the word, methinks.

You know, I haven’t listened to a great piece in 3 in a while.  The 2nd movement from Sibelius’ Third Symphony has so many great moments.  This recording by the Halle Orchestra
