“IF you buy a big pork shoulder and take your time, as you should, the classic Puerto Rican pork roast called pernil can take you nearly all day. The last time I roasted a large one it was in the oven for seven hours.” Me too!

Funny shirts, I just wish they didn’t charge $100 for them. I’d go for the one that says “Your Mom is not a valid test market.”

Oh, hell yes. Politicians that might give a damn about issues the rest of us care about? NO WAY!

One of Chuck’s points is “Challenge Your People – Encourage Them to Make Mistakes.” I’ve often said that I only know what I know because of all the stuff I’ve screwed up and had to fix. Sometimes that’s the only way for people to learn.

“The Xserve RAID product page now encourages you to purchase the Promise VTrak E-Class RAID. (You can purchase it from the Apple Store.)” About damn time, as the owner of an Xserve RAID I have to say they kinda suck. Were cool, not anymore.

“Talk honestly and openly about your product’s strengths and weaknesses, and let your product stand, or fall, on its own merits.” Xen, rock throwing, and glass houses.

Hot damn, I get $25 back from the man.

“CPAN is a bit of a mixed blessing.” Um, yeah, you can say that again. One of these days I need to write a post about dealing with CPAN.

These folks have photos of AMAZING aquaria.
