In the last two years I hired 6 college graduating seniors. None of them knew how to address an envelope... and only one thought to google for the answer. We had to throw out a ton of (customer conference) literature packets because the lab

"wisdom through concentration" As a buddhist-ish person for a decade now, I follow the path that meditation allows us to see things (and ourselves) as they really are, not as we've constructed or interpreted them. There may b

When my son was born, I paid $5K to a birthing center in Boise, a couple of blocks from the hospital. We visited frequently over the 9 months, and each time stayed for about 4-5 days in a birthing room with a hot tub. Also true after my son

My Amazon Fire tests were: charge up, leave unplugged, see how much power it had in the morning. For me, it was always drained. Power management in those devices is particularly weak.

The article covers why it might not be a great idea. That said, people not having any options to get home ignores the fact that people are heading out to spend money on alcohol to begin with. Budgeting for a cab ride home seems beyond every

As a 46 year old, 25 year tech veteran, white dude, holding C-positions numerous times, I think what it indicates is that the first hire of certain kinds of positions aren't likely to go to people like me anymore. It closes doors all a

The shit-eating grin must work for a particular kind of audience. It counter-signals hard to me. I know some real narcissists, and I think there's a moment before their narcissism is confirm-able that their "power" has more c

Incomplete story? Not sure you make a strong case for "for my own mental health its best", cause it sounded like things were quite good. Personally, I'm a micro-social-er. I joke with my son (and now, girlfriend) that we have

Here's something I've wished I'd had over the 20 years of web development efforts I've been involved in: for production sites, a site that crawls a path regularly and saves a copy of the site in a timeline fashion. How m

Many of the brands that are dominant in Whole Foods are also available, to some degree or another, in other grocery stores. But Whole Foods has a more targeted sourcing strategy for fresh veggies, fruit and meats. They carry more of those o

My XPS 15 has been a nightmare. Endless driver problems. Build quality isn't even close to what Apple delivers.. lots of false trackpad hits too. I'm a little conflicted about my next Apple purchase as well, but for me, the XPS 15
