安迪的垃圾堆

今天公司送了 100 張 (一個人兩張) The Rolling Stones 給員工. 抽中機會應該是滿大的. 大約有 30%. 我號碼最後兩位數是 95. 結果 94, 96, 97 和 98 都抽中了, 就是沒有 95. 沒有去看 The Rolling Stones 的命… Side Note: DOT launches traffic aids for cellphones, PDAs Less math confidence equals more math competence Scientists see video games in education “Personality of a car” an indicator of road rage Life-or-death question, but debate was hidden for years More Seattle schools likely to face closure, board president says Medical Side Note: Report says benefits of fish outweigh risks New, costly type 2 diabetes pill arrives Study tallies drug reactions Turns out it was better to inhale pot Steroids show no benefit for seniors, research claims Study finds risks, benefits in Ritalin for preschoolers

應該已經有兩三年多了, 常常接到找 John, the computer guy 的電話. 我們問了那些打電話來的人. 告訴的電話號碼竟是和我們家的電話號碼一模一樣, 連區碼也是一樣. 後來我們發現到, 我們以前的電話公司, 不知為什麼? 把我們家的電話號碼, 分配給了一個當地的電腦商店. 儘管我們注意到, 這個電腦商已經有了新的號碼, 但是這個錯誤還是隨處可見…網路上的電話搜尋, 電話簿等等. 因此我們還是一直接到這些找 John 修理電腦的電話. 有時候一天可以接到個兩三次. 真想不如就當壞人, 把他的生意給搶了… Side Note: 5,000 to get free UW tuition Medical Side Note: Study finds link between heart attack, severe forms of psoriasis Whooping cough, school vaccination policies linked Young cancer survivors at risk later
