From CNN.com: Zimbabwe introduces $100 billion banknotes

Zimbabwe's troubled central bank introduced $100 billion banknotes Saturday in a desperate bid to ease the recurrent cash shortages plaguing the inflation-ravaged economy.
...
As high as they are, though, the bills still aren't enough to buy a loaf of bread. They can buy only four oranges.

The new note is equal to just one U.S. dollar.
That's some messed up currency.

The Journey is the Reward

It's a Chinese proverb and a title of an early biography about Steve Jobs. It's also the way I'd like to view the world. Too often we're so worried about getting somewhere in life that we fail to see the beauty in the world passing us by. The destination may be the goal, but the journey is the reward.
