I watched this video from CUSEC 2008. Partly it’s about how the ACL (Access Control List) is not a turing complete language, but mostly it’s about working within a huge corporation and all the crap thattends to go with it (and advice for programmers in general). I have very little experience of this, but he reminds me why I’m happy working at a small company.
Warning: Lots of cursing, and a little bit of southern accent
It was a fairly good year for the garden, although I didn’t get to devote much time to it. We doubled the garden size from the previous year and had two whole different seasons of growth (spring/summer, and fall). We can do this since we’re in Florida. We grew (in descending order of success): green beans, black beans, basil, tomatoes, radishes, various types of lettuce, egg-plant, green peppers, and spinach.
We also started a few pots of strawberries but I’m not really counting them since we haven’t had any fruit yet.
We had an unusually warm December, so we still have lettuce in the garden. :-)

Really good talk about the “Happiness Advantage” and how you can cultivate happiness. If you like the talk, consider buying his book, The Happiness Advantage

WWII poster (source: treehugger) I plan on expanding my vegetable garden this year. Last year I had some success with okra, green peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, as well as basil and rosemary. There’s nothing like growing your own food. I highly recommend it.

If you collected all of Earth’s water into a sphere, how big would it be?
Our water sphere would have a diameter of 1,385 kilometers (about 860 miles), and span the distance from Salt Lake City, Utah to Topeka, Kansas. A sphere this far across would have a volume equal to about 1,386 million cubic kilometers (roughly 332,500,000 cubic miles).
