| Snootastic 'Metropolitan Diary' One-Liners
For the first time, I had charge of my three-year-old grandson, Hoover, for the full weekend, while my daughter took some much-deserved personal time in the city. I decided to take Hoover to my sister's home in Connecticut. When we arrived, our driver, Jasper, carried our luggage up the driveway to the door; Hoover and I followed behind. I could see Hoover growing more and more perplexed as we stepped toward the door; he began to look around quizzically as we stepped into the foyer. "Hoover, dear, whatever is the matter?" I asked him as he furrowed his tiny brow. "Grandma, where is the doorman?" he asked worriedly. "Don't they have doormen in Connecticut?" How Jasper and I laughed at little Hoover's precocious Manhattan view of the world! .
Larry Sinclair Polygraph Test Indicates "Deception" In Obama Claims
I've sent to following E-Mail to: N.Y. Times, L.A. Times, Chicago Tribune, Plain Dealer, News Herald, Free Times, and Scene. (I have yet to recieve any responces). Ok, so you have a presidential candidate being accused of using crack-cocaine in 1999 (which goes way beyond his teens. Barack Obama claims in his book he stopped using drugs in his late teens), having oral sex with a random person, while cheating on his pregnant wife. Larry Sinclair's youtube video #1 has over 500,000 views. Larry has taken a polygraph test (whitehouse.com), and also a drug test. There is huge controversy over polygraph testing in general. Obama supporters were claiming on internet message boards (previous to the polygraph results) that a polygraph isn't CREDIBLE. There are NEW allegations that David Axelrod paid Dan Parisi of whitehouse.com $750,000 (everything leaves a paper trail).

Open Source Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Do open source developers deserve a premium? Posted in: General Development management content values Today we have another one of those reports that tend to drive me crazy. It's from the Bluewolf Group of New York, located just off Madison Square Park, which calls itself "the world's leading provider of professional services for on-demand software applications." But it's not about Software as a Service. Instead it's a statement pulled from a survey of IT salaries that open source developers make more money. This has Matt Asay happier than Tom Cruise on a couch (above), but it's his bosses at Alfresco who are going to have to spread this extra green, and it begs the question, why? Is developing on an open source platform really different from developing on a closed source platform? Are the skills needed to develop for one any different from those needed to develop for the other? It reminds me of a complaint my lovely bride of 30 years often has, when the skill sets at her employer change.
