There's already a huge (imsho negative) trend of offshoring more and more high-salary IT work out to other countries, where people work for less money, longer work weeks, and it seems like less job se

I wanted to create a wish list so people can do me a favor, and help the site out, by buying me used books. I tried Half.com - it didn't allow me to share the list.

These links open new windows to Trulia's lists of recently sold homes in the zip code.

This list of links will open new windows displaying Zillow's recently sold listings for homes in the zip code.

This is a list of community names and zip codes, linked to their respective Redfin market-conditions pages. The links will open new tabs, so you can click a load of them.

Microsoft is trying to file a patent for their Ribbon interface element that groups toolbars into a tabbed interface.

This is a short list of links to groups that organize unions for programmers and other computer-based workers, and lobby organizations. This document is undergoing revision.

Fedora was just too slow for me, so I tried Xubuntu. This is an Ubuntu derivative (Ubuntu being a Debian derivative), but it runs with the Xfce window manager instead of Metacity.

The NYT, LAT, and Huffpost have made a big issue of Obama eating spam musubi.

I dropped my computer and the hard drive got tweaked. Maybe it got damaged. In any event, the operating system was lost, but data was not. So, I took advantage of the mess to install software.

This is a shocking entry in Wikipedia, but it shows how far racists will go to ensure that they can continue to segregate.

This code has never been run through php. It's a first draft. It's here because this needs to be worked out before real implementation, and, maybe someone will find it useful.

I've been working with "unbound forms" and, ay ay ay, what a pain in the butt. Unbound forms are regular forms, except that the controls aren't associated with any data source. An unbound form is like a panel of controls, without wires behind them, and no information being shown or recorded. It's like a prop without a performance. It's weird to use an Access form that doesn't seem to work, because the data structure behind it doesn't exist -- without information, there's no animation.

Bill from Belle Harbor rebuts anti EFCA arguments on Paul Krugman's blog:

The National Labor Relations Act was passed in order to stimulate demand by putting more of the fruits of labor into the pockets of the working class. The logic for its passage was that the demand for goods and services of one wealthy business owner couldn’t match the demand for the aggregate demand for goods and services of an entire work force. Collective bargaining afforded millions of Americans, both unionized and non-unionized, with a standard of living that has heretofore been unsurpassed. Collective bargaining, if and of itself, does not lead to a more affluent workforce, however, unless the concerted actions of the union members result in higher wages. A major reason for our economy’s current crisis is that wages have been lagging behind productivity gains in America for more than 30 years. Cheap credit replaced fair wages as the preferred mechanism for stimulating demand. Now that the faucet of cheap credit has been closed we are seeing the demand for goods and services dry up. Collective bargaining, with enforceable rights, is a recipe for our recovery. Ideolgical obstacles, implemented over time and intended to impede the exercise of America’s right to bargain collectively, have reversed 50 years of progress.
