640,000 Pieces of Paper Piled on Your Desk

by Hannah on July 28, 2010

When one thinks of 19,200 pictures, 640,000 document pages,or 2,048 MP3 files, the numbers are so extreme that they are hard to grasp. However, take a moment and imagine what 640,000 pieces of paper would look like piled up on your desk. It is several feet high, disorganized, and slightly leaning over. If you were to look for just one piece of paper out of those 640,000 pieces, how much work, time, and effort would it take? Maybe that paper is right in the middle (say around piece 320,000?). After you sifted through that many pages, you most likely would forget what you were looking for in the first place and have to start over.

If you are a sentimental person and tend to take hundreds or thousands of family photos, than you can grasp what too many pictures look like. However, can you fully grasp what 19,200 pictures would look like? If a photo album holds 300 photos, than you would have accumulated 64 albums! It would take a lot of time to organize these photos by date, event, family members, etc. When it comes time to actually show someone the picture from last year’s family reunion, how likely is it that you will find it in your massive pile of photo albums? Probably not very likely. [click to continue…]

Security is extremely important for an office building. The building may contain expensive electronic equipment, furniture, confidential files, and many other items that burglars or unscrupulous competitors would love to get their hands on. Executives may drive expensive cars to work and feel uncomfortable about leaving their vehicles exposed in an open parking lot in the middle of a city. Of course, anyone driving to work and parking in a metropolis area may feel some concern about having a car broken into. For these reasons, many companies opt to build fences all around their property.

A sturdy metal fence around the premises can be the first line of defense against would-be robbers. Often just seeing an intimidating fence surrounding property will deter a crook from trying to break through. He’ll go on to the next building that does not have fencing around it and commit burglary there. Although a fence isn’t a perfect deterrent, it’s inconvenient to have to climb over a fence to get in if there is another place that is easier to rob. [click to continue…]

Apple Crisp retried with Macintosh apples

March 5, 2010

I posted recently about the flop Apple Crisp my husband and I had when we used Gala Apples in our Apple Crisp.  The apples were tough and dry and overall it was just very disappointing.  We happen to like Apple Crisp enough that we were not about to give up (after all, we’ve made yummy [...]

Home Automation has to be a wonderful thing!  Who wouldn’t want to be able to use a remote control to dim the lights in the home theater (aka. the living room)?  Or what about that antique lamp from grandma that has the switch way down on the cord behind the couch that you have to struggle [...]

The first glance isn’t always what it seems

March 5, 2010

My husband and two older boys went out visiting some folks we know this morning and then made a little visit to the market.  The Markets at Shrewsbury have some great little shops.  I actually sell some items at the Pretty Pickins stand so of course I’m a little partial to that particular spot. My husband, [...]
