Love at first sight?

I must say, this is pretty cool. So I think I'll have a go at the whole blogging enterprise. I wonder whether I'll enjoy blogging enough for it to stay fun, or whether I'll tire of it as quickly as I did of "diary-ing". I think posting daily up through Easter is a reasonable, if not artificial, goal to aspire to. Let's see how far I make it.

But before I sign off, a couple thoughts. If you make $80K per year, and we assume that the marginal cost of your labor equals the average cost (of course it isn't, but hear me out), then the marginal cost of your time is: $80K * (1yr/50 weeks) * (1 week/40 hours) = $40/hour * (1 hour / 3600 sec) =
1.1 cents/second. A penny a second. Every second of every day: another penny. Somehow that just seems like a lot. You can almost hear the penny falling into the piggy-bank with every tick of the second-hand. If you think about it for a while, it really makes you value time a lot more and money a lot less.

More time calculations: If you live to be 83.3 years old, you will have lived a thousand months. Every month of your life is 0.1%.

There are ~50 weeks per year, so every week is 2%. There are only 100 weekend days of the year, so every weekend night is 1% of the weekend nights for that year.
