this is the news of the day, week, year, and decade.  If it works like they claim, and is self contained for 40 years.

Life in the Cube

One of the things that I begin to realize the more that I work in this sea of cubicles is that Dilbert is right.  I always thought Dilbert was a little funny, and read it when it was around.  Now that I am living the life, I can not read it.  It hurts to much.  It is like why race car drivers hate to go see other people in the hospital.  They know and understand that they stare into the real possible fate of thier own lives and do not wish the truth to interfere with excitement and glory of possibility.
I wonder if I should decorate my cube in some bizzare and non - tech geek way.  I mean, is there a website showing how people have decorate their cubes?

200 thousand miles...

WOW. This 1995 Ford Escort has had one owner. My wife bought it when it was new. It now needs a valve job, the cooling fan does not work, and the passive restraint seatbelts act up, but I am still driving it to work and back, a 60 mile round trip, every day.

200,000 miles! How fun. I think I am going to shop for a new ford focus next month.
