Definitely not rooting for that hoity toity Pekingese, that's for damn sure. #Westminster
I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.

£268 is NOT $100. Its just under $400 USD.
"The final version of the machine ended up costing about $188 and the OLPC group has only sold about 600,000 of the machines."
Go figure. $188 cost, $210 profit per machine (minus all the usual costs of course).
Being taken for a ride.

Um, the 268 pounds/$400 is for TWO of the machines, one for you and one for a child in a developing nation. So OLPC and Amazon really aren't making much money on the deal.
