by Ironic?
Just minutes after posting my article, “BYOD (Bring your own device) – Worst Idea of the 21st Century?,” I received an email message from my nephew saying that he needs to raise $1,300 for the high school orchestra trip next spring.
As a result, he would like me to buy some crap I don’t need so the crap-selling company can make a whole bunch of profit off the backs of school children. Ironically, the school has yet to tell the kids where they will be going. Sell crap first, ask questions later!
If you need some useless crap or are just feeling generous, my nephew and I humbly thank you. His student ID = vth8435 if you need it.
With much gratitude,
D.U.G.
