tired
I should have studied math
It's 10:54 pm and I've just gotten home from the studio. I should have studied math. I could have been a great math teacher or I could have just set up a small store front business where I did math problems for people. I would have called it "Math for the People". Need to know how many square feet of pink tile you need to cover your entire house? No problem! Trying to figure out how old your dog is in human years? I've got the answer. Wondering how much thrust it would take to get your car airborne? Well, that seems to be more of a question of physics. Plus, I think you have overlooked aerodynamics in your haste to put your car into orbit. I can't answer that one, but I know some people and I'll see what I can do.
But no, I chose to be a painter. Not an honest respectable painter of houses and signs, but a fancy-pants, shiftless artist! An artist who sells fireplaces.
Today a guy called to ask how to light his pilot. I asked if he had access to the internet (there is a step-by-step illustration online). He hesitated a second and said "...err....no, I just have an on and off switch". I am tired. Wake me up when you can surf the web on your fireplace.

These will be taking the country by storm in no time -- and maybe you could even scan the bar code and have it go directly to web van for delivery.

now bbq's, that's a whole 'nother subject. I think we can all see the need for your bbq to access the net.
Maybe even have it re-order the bbq sauce automatically when it gets low. That could be the killer app for LG's frig. They just need to a wireless LAN to connect to the bbq and then funnel the order to webvan.
Foolproof. I should be in marketing.
