time to calculate the odds
For the trip home, I did something I haven't done in at least a decade of travel between Las Vegas and Los Angeles: I checked my bag. "What are the odds," I thought, "of Southwest losing my bag when it's the first time I've checked a bag on one of their aircraft in over a decade?" It turns out ...

First time I've ever seen the guy putting up adds also put up directions on how to block them. Not surprising, but still cool to see.
I can't wait until someone gets a viable micro-payment system going.

regarding advertising
If you're reading this via syndication, you'll notice that in the last few days, small ads have shown up at the end of my posts. I'm experimenting with including some advertising in my blog, including my RSS feed and on my actual site. This experiment will run for about 90 days, when I'll run so...

Paul Graham has a worthwhile essay on high school nerdliness.
Having spent most of my life up to high school in a non-conformist private school I wasn't (usually) bothered by being "not with the in crowd". It was interesting that the "in" crowd reacted differently to me than to others since I didn't care about the boundaries.
"Yeah, I'm a member of the Chess club -- why do you ask?" ;)

my mind is filled with silvery star
This is the second time in about forty minutes that I've wanted to change the title of an entry. First: "when i'm boss of the universe . . ." should be called "new slang", or "gold teeth and a curse" if I wanted to be slightly more obscure and rewarding to anyone who figured it out. "i call the ...

Dude,
The most important thing you can do as a parent is not solve the problem but teach them that it *is* a problem.
I think the true tragedy is the kids who just accept crass behavior as a normal part of life and never think to do anything about it.
There are many techniques to dealing with bullies but they all start with the same thought: "I'm not putting up with this!"

Nothing pisses me off more than finding out that some jerk upset one of my kids, and there's nothing I can do about it. I know that in the long run, the best thing I can do is offer love, understanding and support, but parents out there probably know what I'm talking about; that feeling of help...
