A California State Attorney is reportedly being demoted, apparently because of providing a legal interpretation that was in line with the state law, rather than being in favor of employers.
Isn't it "nice" to see that corporations can so readily override the law?

DIY stop-motion, high-speed digital photography. Their samples include some great visuals of things being shot/shattered by ballistics. Especially cool is the amazing water-balloon suspended in air - without the balloon!

"Unisys Corporation... issued a public apology for the many human inconveniences resulting from its invention of UNIVAC I, the world's first commercial computer, introduced on June 14, 1951."

The church has issued a detailed reply to the situation. The kicker is this quote:
"It is also amusing to us that this company uses as a corporate logo an apple with a bite taken from it, which certainly appears to be a reference to that other famous apple. We have not forgotten that forbidden fruit, which would impart knowledge of Good and Evil, offered to Eve in that mythical garden by none other than the serpent, an avatar of Satan himself."

A blogger buddy of mine, replying to my e-mail announcing this new blog (my first) said:
"And you with so much to say... I can't help but wonder why it took so long."
My reply:
Larry Wall wrote in one of his Programming Perl books that the three essential qualities of a programmer are laziness, impatience and hubris.
Guess which one was winning out for so long :)
