If I could, I’d… – 3x Thursday

1. If you won the lottery, and could win as much as you wanted, how much would you take? What would you do with it?
A hundred million would probably be enough. Take care of family and friends. Some of the schools I’ve worked at (toss a couple of mill’ where I always would have put some tech dollars. The shelters and the crisis hotline where I’ve worked. I don’t know if I’d want to do some outreach here or in another country. Probably set up some institute to further technology use/adoption, if it was in another county (Costa Rica?) I’d probably need 200 million they have a lot less infrastructure. A very low number of students have technology and even less have Internet (and those are mostly around San Jose). I was just reading something on this today so it sticks extra in my mind. Oh! And I’d blow 20 million on a trip into outer space! Is Russia still selling rides?

2. If you could have any car/truck/environmental killing machine that you wanted, what would it be?
Actually I’d like an environmentally sound convertible (that I don’t have to refill every hundred miles).
3. If you could, would you want to be a professional student? Why/why not? If so, what would you study?
Definitely! Everything! Art, astronomy, a language or two, cutting edge technologies, did I say everything?
Bonus Question for Comments: Does it take a lot of money and goods to make you happy? How much/little? Why/Why not
Yes and no. I can live pretty simple, but I do like my techie toys (and my convertible). I could have cardboard furniture and a rusty car as long as I have my cool powerbook, iMac and home theater (and mp3 jukebox in the car).

From 3x Thursday.
