I am always on the lookout for a new word to play in Scrabble, particularly if it uses the "Q". My daughter actually found one for me yesterday while doing research for a school assignment.

Did you know eating fast food makes you fat?

I think there are lots of folks who would agree with this. It seems my daughter is convinced of this.

It was her last year before she could go to youth activities and it sort of became a tradition for me to drive through her favorite fast food for dinner.

Did You Know About Mechanical Turk?

Did you know about Mechanical Turk?

Mechanical Turk is sponsored by Amazon.com. Here you can find lots of trivial tasks that pay to get the job completed. Many of them only pay one penny but some pay a few bucks. They are not much pay, but I love the small tasks that can be completed in a few minutes. The earned money is put into an Amazon account to spend at their site.
