Now with 20% less ink!

A group in the Netherlands has designed a font (sans serif of course) that uses 20% less ink when printed--each letter of the font is embedded with small "holes" (non-printing white circles) that does not greatly affect its readability but uses less ink when printed.

Investing for Beginners

Just a few days back I bought a $400, 13-Week Treasury Bill for the auction price of $399.99. Meaning that when I get my money back in 13 weeks I will have made exactly $0.01. Today at the gym I found $0.02 in the bottom of a locker and another $0.11 on the bench at City Bakery while eating brunch.

I'm thinking that there is something wrong with my investment strategy.
