I knew I liked Woz for a reason…

I would love to see people’s faces when he does this…

BTW, here’s where you can buy uncut sheets of $2 bills
$2 bill

Gotcha | Futility Closet:

As a prank, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak sometimes buys uncut sheets of $2 bills

from the U.S. Treasury
and has them bound into booklets.

Then, when buying small items, he’ll pull out a booklet and cut off a few bills with scissors.

This is perfectly legal, but it’s caused at least one alarmed inquiry by the Secret Service.

Isaiah memorial

This guy worked at the Wawa right by where I work

I can remember him as a somewhat reserved quiet guy

having to wear Bandaids to cover the tattoo of his name in

a calligraphic script - probably a Wawa Corporate measure…

I came back from vacation to find this memorial to him

on the front counter, which is fitting, at least for me, as that

is where I best remember him.

I had to pull out the Razr and snap a picture of it -

one of the women who works there sort of gave me this

knowing look as if to say “I know why you have to do this”

From the Philadelphia Tribune:

The bloodshed continued into Saturday, where at 1:51 a.m.
police were called to the 2100 block of South Saggett Street.
Police found the victim, 19-year-old Isaiah Sizer, of the 5800 block of Pentridge Street,
inside a parked car with a gunshot wound to the chest.

A second victim, an 18-year-old male,
was found at the same location with a gunshot wound in the leg.

Both victims were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Sizer was pronounced dead at 2:36 a.m.

Rest in Peace.

Godspeed.
