My Mom is finishing her last year as a high school teacher: "All week long I have been carrying 23 years worth of high school teaching paraphernalia to the trash, to my car, to my house, and to the thrift store. I have carried books and papers, student notes and George Foreman grills, paper plates, cough drops, and post-its."
Talking Points Memo is growing, and Josh says Don't Miss This: "At TPM, as you know, our core mission is news and reporting.

As part of his ongoing analysis and coverage of Google, he often finds gaping holes in the mainstream coverage of teh GOOG: "I think it's pretty clear that Google is using Google News to collect information to improve the overall search experiment...

This story in the Times proceeds from that zero-sum perspective: Google News is not dominant, not growing, not clubbing the competition; therefore something must be wrong with it. However, Google operates with different principles in mind. The more other content sites succeed, the more Google benefits from their success."
There's a new definition for patience in software development: "After 15 long years of active development, Wine software which makes it possible to run native Windows applications [without Windows], has reached it's milestone 1.0 version.
