Memorial Day (US)

In remembrance of those who have fought and died defending our rights…  Maybe, some day, we will again have a government that respects the Constitution.  Need a refresher on what these dedicated men and women fought for?

Homework sucks…

Interesting article over at BoingBoing on the case against homework. I have long thought that significant amounts of homework can be counter-productive. Kids have very busy schedules and more than a little stress, after 7 or so hours at school the last thing they need is more work. Check the article for more info on homework statistics and studies on the effects on kids.

The Google Killers?

As usual, Robert X. Cringely has some interesting commentary on the threat from within at Google. When you pack an organization with so much talent, you can’t possibly use all the good ideas. Some of those talented people will have some entrepreneurial drive and want to see their pet projects implemented.

While I am not sure that the success of former Googlers spells the end of the search king, it is interesting to consider. See the article for why he believes an exodus of some of the talent is imminent.
