Do you hate pennies? I know there's plenty out there who probably do. I mean, you can't put them in vending machines for soda for starters. They get bulky in the pocket. They're worth one measly cent (face value, but... still...). I mean, it can't mean much, right? Well, now's your chance to get rid of 'em!
Every day starting today, I'll bring a plastic cup with me to class. For people who hate pennies, they have a place to throw them away. Woo hoo! "What? Where are those pennies going?" one might ask. Well, fear not. They'll be put towards a good cause, besides melting them down and reselling the metal for higher profit. (U.S. Mint won't take kindly to that one, so..... don't try it please....... they'll likely retaliate against you if you do).
There's this site right here. They do lots of things, such as install Linux-based operating systems onto other peoples' computers for a nominal fee (with support services included), promote Free and Open Source Software, and most importantly, they put together computers for the kids of Austin, Texas. Most of the kids there have to do assignments on a computer, and those who don't have a computer have to get alternative lessons/assignments. Talk about embarrassment. I mean, geeze! So I'll begin today, and on November 6, I'll deposit all the pennies into my account, and donate them to the Lobby4Linux guys.
Other than that, this week is full of tests, reading, reading, more reading, writing, and oh so much more! Yay!
