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.
So pissed at @thomashouston right now for not reminding me about James Blake last night.

Yeah but why should I pay $40-$60 to "recycle" these thing when they just end up poisoning third world countries due to the companies just dumping them there.
I'd rather save green and dump my old monitor on the empty lot 2 blocks away.

How do you poison people in third world countries when you dump your old TV "2 blocks away" from where you live???
If you do that, you're ONLY poisoning yourself and your neighbors - NOT people living thousands of miles away from you in third world countries.

I think ecco was referring to the expose that some recycling centers here in the US are shipping the "recycled" monitors/tube tv's to third world countries, whose governments in turn are paid a "tipping fee", and the tubes are piled in mass open "graves"

You can also recycle your electronics at Best Buy now. you pay $10, but get a $10 giftcard in return. You can either bring it into the store or have them pick it up at your house.
