Texting

05.17.11: In the Toronto Star today.


This really is quite surprising. I have found children don't have a lot to say around adults. Must be exhausted from texting all day and night.


I find it hard to believe a 60% increase in 2010 over 2009. There were 56 billion texts ... 154 million texts a day ... 107,000 a minute ... every minute!


I wonder if it will continue to increase, now that the rate has gone up 33%.

Electricity rates - Time of Use - summer

05.14.11:  If you aren't aware of the summer Ontario electricity rate.


I think this rate is the same as the standard rate used to be before Time-of-Use.
