Popularity of Bud Light
One of the most puzzling things here in the US is people's love for Bud Light. It's cheap, I understand that. What I don't understand is how people(including the so called "young professionals") with 60+K/year salaries can drink that crap! These are people who don't hesitate buying expensive clothes and other luxury items. These are people who eat burgers and fries.
It's really quite astounding how many people around here drink Bud Light. This is not what I was expecting to see here in San Francisco.

Amazon Prime
Amazon Prime is a feature of Amazon.com. It is a service that costs $70/year. In return you get free 2 day shipping on tons of different items.
Since signing up about 2 months ago, I've ordered the following items, not usually associated with Amazon: iPod, HDMI Cable, Body Wash, Deodorant, Brita Water filters, Bed Sheets and most recently a ladder.
Amazon Prime: Loving it !

Conserving Energy
Recently there has a been a large push towards clean, "green" energy, especially here in California. Lots of people are driving hybrids, many households are installing Solar Panels, etc.
I've been pretty much oblivious to this phenomenon; however today, while shopping at Costco I finally made my first environment-conscious purchase ! I bought 10 fluorescent light bulbs (~75% power savings) for an incredible price of $1.5 ! (that's right, 15 cents per individual light bulb).
I wish other opportunities for energy conservation were just as attractive financially. Until that happens, there is absolutely no way that we (by we I mean the entire world) are going to get any greener !

Wirth's Law
Well known Moore's law, which states that computer processors get twice as fast every 18 months. However, there is another law, stated by Niklaus Wirth in 1995, that states the following:
Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.
Fascinating, isn't it ?
