More basic economics from Disney.

That's right, I'll Ajax the crap out of your site. Nothing, and I mean nothing will be static. I'll pull your data asynchronously from every orifice of your server. Your clients will be SOOOOO impressed.

What's more, I'll use jQuery to do it all!!!! Imagine the look on your shareholders faces when they view source and see that your site is calling jquery-min-1.3.js?!?! Oh, BTW, using jQuery costs extra ok, that magic dust don't come cheap.

This is the funniest resume I've ever seen and I think Noah is entirely serious. I'm going to hire him ASAP.

When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem.

Wow... what a slogan: "Make Dysentery Fun Again"
I'm reserving judgement on this remake until I play it, but I hope somebody is working on a true port of the original Oregon Trail game.

Older laid-off workers face a particularly tough job search, says Ms. Lahey, the economist. In a 2005 experiment, she sent 4,000 mostly identical resumes to firms in Boston and St. Petersburg, Fla., with the only difference being the age of the job applicants -- 35 and 62, as indicated by date of high-school graduation. The study found that a younger worker in either state was more than 40% more likely to be called back for interview than a worker 50 and older.

This is hilarious. The bulk of the article is about older people who are laid off suing for supposed discrimination, then they wonder why they have a harder time finding jobs. If you look like a lawsuit risk should you turn out to be a bad fit for the position, smart managers won't even give you a chance.
Litigiousness is never a free lunch... it'll cost you or people like you in the long run.

The press never reported that Democratic strategist James Carville said he wanted President Bush to fail before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But a feeding frenzy ensued when radio host Rush Limbaugh recently said he wanted President Obama to fail. 

This whole kerfuffle is stupid and results from sloppy use of language. Persons of either political persuasion who want the opposition to "fail" are not in the slightest wishing for the failure of America as a whole, they simply have a different vision of how the country can best succeed. This division is natural and healthy in a republic, but the toxicity of our public discourse over the last few years is not. It's time for a new tone and some good faith discussions on a national level like the ones we have with our friends and neighbors.
(Okay, I know that was naive, but a guy has to dream!)

At the end they were impressed with the public nature of the criticism, and its candor: "There are still elements within the government that take personal responsibility seriously." He found himself wondering if the Marines had been "too hard on themselves." "But they are, after all, Marines."

By contrast, he says, when the economy came crashing down, "nowhere did we see a board come out and say: 'This is what happened, these are the decisions these particular people made, and this was the result. They are no longer a part of our organization.'

Wonderful essay from Peggy Noonan regarding responsibility.
I'm in awe of the grocer who publicly forgave the pilot just one day after losing his family in an entirely avoidable accident. That man's faith is stunning and inspirational.

He has also broken my skull open with the ball-peen hammer of his awesomeness. Here’s the opening track, “The Mother of All Funk Chords.” So amazing, so illegal. What are we going to do with you, future?

Amazing creation. The internet is full of win.

Recruiters say the percentage of online applications viewed by an actual human being ranges from 5% to 25%.

A few weeks ago I realized I don't want to work at a company that uses automated screening and rewrote my resume with human beings (real management, not HR) as the target audience.
