Greyhounds

I have always been a dog person. Some people are cat people (up to the “crazy cat lady”), some are dog people, and some people shouldn’t do pets at all. Currently, I have Greyhounds. Two brindle boys, who are 3 years apart, and are half brothers. Garrett is the elder statesman, quiet, reserved, and eh loves to sleep. Tate, the junior hellion, is the high energy, outgoing...

I came of age at a fortuitous time. In high school, the Apple ][ computers arrived and were in a lab that you could take a course. I learned a lot about microcomputers there, and soon saved my paper route money to buy my own (not an Apple, way too expensive, I went the Atari route – better games).

Remodeling advice

Not that I am remodeling, or anything that ambitious, but I have some advice nonetheless. When you remodel say a bathroom, and there are two sinks (his/hers, very common), don't buy just two sets of fixtures. Buy a spare. This is so that in 5/7/10...
Physicists = bad developers
P
I was in a meeting yesterday, and our engineering director made an offhand comment that made me cringe. He commented that our principal developer for one of our products (he really is the only programmer) "like most good programmers" was a physici...
