JetBlue’s “All You Can Jet pass“, which offers unlimited flights from September 8 to October 9 for just $599, was sold out 36 hours before the publicized deadline.

I was going to add a new Wobo this week, but then an email from Sandy changed my mind. I thought I’d share her comments on ASI Berry with you.

Quitting is a difficult habit to break, so is slacking off. I used to do both. I think they could be broken.

I find me often losing myself in front of my PC working on my blog and other web projects; obsessed with little details in attempt to make everything as perfect as possible.
