Can versus Bottle of Coke

Prices from a Vending Machine

  • 12 fl oz can: $.65
  • 20 fl oz bottle: $1.25

Price per oz:

  • 12 fl oz can: $.05416… per oz
  • 20 fl oz bottle: $.0625 per oz

Most likely, you’re paying more for the ability to close the bottle.

But still… you’re getting less coke if you get the bottle.

Seriously… I’m going to venture a guess and say that people normally buy cans of coke to drink where they open it. Don’t know the percentage, but I think it’s probably going to be the #1 use case.

I wonder if people actually gave it some thought… At least… I’m nerdy enough to think I do.

Nook: Open Courtyard - South Union

After roaming the campus for a bit, I settled on a very peculiar place to sit down and write. Peculiar, at least, for me.

Outside.

The funny thing is, this textmate file was a sheet of paper, it would have smudges and holes from all the erasing I’ve done.

Something definitely stops me from writing like a maniac a couple of weeks back.

I guess I could start off with the usual personal entry, but even that… I’ve reached my quota. Let’s put that off until later.

Maybe by listing off some stuff I want to write on, it’ll help me focus a bit better.

  • The crazy Digg insanity that occured last night… and my thoughts on that…
  • That Facebook post that gets larger and larger every time I open it…
  • The Buy.com versus Amazon post…
  • The post on programming books…

Wow. Lots to write about.

Tomorrow’s Plan

I really really hope I can just find a nook, get a cup of coffee, and write write write.

To Grainger I go!

Maybe the last time…?
