I want to hate the health care law

So I know I’m late to the party. Really late. I was cleaning up my desk the other day in preparation to move, and I found this fantastic article about olive oil sitting on my desk. My Dad had given it to me, and I wanted to save it but I didn’t want this thing [...]

How much would you pay to use Google?

I got to thinking about how much I use Google to answer questions the other day. My search activity calendar looks like this every month: Even between Jan 1-3 when I was in Vegas I did 1-3 searches. Some months are even more heavy than this. So how much would I pay? I wouldn’t have [...]

On Paid Links

Yesterday I witnessed a pretty phenomenal panel at SES called “Are Paid Links Evil?” With a title like that, you know there is going to be some heat right off the bat. I wasn’t going to post at all, but I think I’ll throw my few cents in. First of all everyone on the panel [...]

Watch Cramer Lose His Grip

This video of Jim Cramer going ballistic about the Bear Sterns issue in the market last week is hilarious. This guy knows his stuff, and if you’ve ever seen his show you know how passionate he is.

A Computer Science Degree Does Hurt (A Lot)

The other day I was skimming through my feed reader and I came across a post by Leah Culver called A Computer Science Degree Doesn’t Hurt (Much). Having my own opinions about CS degrees (and degrees in general) this really caught my attention. Not surprisingly, I can’t help but disagree. Like Leah says, you spend [...]
