When it comes down to who actually does the work, it is about 2 people for a moderate sized IT project. When it comes down to who talks about what work needs to be done by the group, it amounts to about 8 people. So for every 4 people talking, only 1 actually has any ability to [ READ MORE ]

The boy is visible under the skin. At all times. His back and his butt is always pressed outwards on my wife’s tummy now. I can imagine he is feeling a bit cramped, so I can understand the need to stretch out. Honestly, I think I am ready for him to be here. [ READ MORE ]

From here: General Motors finally gets it. The company’s announcement that it is embracing compact cars, shutting down four truck plants and possibly even dumping Hummer shows GM — and, by extension, Detroit — realizes fuel prices aren’t coming down and SUVs are a dead-end.

I liked it. But of course I would. I am a total nerd. It was different, it was new. It pushed the boundaries of what “Indy” is. I think that is why I liked it so much. And that is exactly why my wife did not like it. She was expecting another [ READ MORE ]
