This past weekend: Spent lots of time away from computer to think.

I installed IE7 and FF2 last Friday. Wow, this spell-checker utility seriously kicks ass ... how long until we have native WYSIWYG support inside of the browser? (Dealing with it with Javascript is horrendous to say the LEAST)

I realized a few days ago that I hadn't closed my experimental HSBC savings account - I opened it a while ago when they were running some promotion. I had put in $100 in it and forgotten that it had existed until this past weekend. That got me thinking, how awesome would it be leave $100 and have your great grand-kids find it (100 years later). By my calculations, if you leave $101 at 7%, in 100 years it'll be worth $87,000 (101 * 1.07 ^ 100). Sure, with inflation it won't be worth as much, but it'd still definitely be something cool to find out about.

It's like that episode of Futurama where Fry remembers he had a bank account with $0.93 in it before he got frozen - after a thousand years, he ended up being worth $4.3 billion (at a low rate of 2.25%!).

Perhaps it's time I open up a bunch of random bank accounts with random low amounts of money ... ;)
