The Evolution of a Programmer
Check out the "The Evolution of a Programmer" link, as it is so, so true. I just hope I don't fall under the "Middle Manager" or "Chief Executive" categories. :)

Will Novell last?
An article came out last week stating that Novell had fired their CEO and CFO all in one day. Now, I remember Novell in its hey-day, and it seemed like such a cool company back then, but I guess times change.
What technology companies will even be around in 20 years? It probably is not even a good idea to look that far ahead into the future when it comes to high tech since this industry changes so quickly.

Can't take the burning
Many of my neighbors insist on burning their garbage and yard waste, and it drives me nuts. The neighbors just to the north of me were burning so much that I actually knocked on their front door and asked them to stop the burning as it was affecting my health and making it hard for me to breathe. While driving home about a week ago, I noticed another local neighbor burning something, and their fire was belching out large amounts of smoke that lingers over the road. I actually turned the car around, walked up to this house and asked the residents to please not burn as it was being extremely disrespectful to their neighbors and the community at large.
I just don't understand what is going on in these people's minds. Do they enjoy releasing noxious gas into the atmosphere that help contribute to the greenhouse effect? I've decided probably the next best step is to write to the local county representative and ask the county that I reside in to implement a law that enforces a permanent burn ban, since they implement a burn ban during the summer.

The Perils of PC Posture
Deborah Rothberg wrote an article recently for PC Magazine that details the proper ways to work on a computer, including posture, hand position, etc., and is definitely worth a read.

Dependable Software by Design
Being employed by a software company, and involved in the industry for the past 10 years, I can sympathize with those end users who are frustrated by poor software design. To add my two cents to this article, I am very supportive of anything that can help do away with bad software design.

Go to sleep
My brother sent me the following
link that questions how much sleep the average adult should get a night. I'm not quite sure what to think of the blog, but it definitely did get me thinking.
