I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen. It’s by Sam Harris author of a book entitled ‘The End of Faith’.
Also if you haven’t checked out this site before ITConversations is a great resource to hear people talking about all kinds of interesting things. Everything from Web-development to Robots to Insects to Medicine to more. (If I wasn’t lazy i might even have given you links to examples

In the midst of laying off like a billion people Sun is at the same time hiring some new people to bring the Dynamic Ruby language into the fold. This is pretty exciting news for the Ruby community.
So the IronPython project has Microsofts backing and JRuby now has Suns backing. Are the two biggest software companies choosing sides in the dynamic languages space? Java does already have a working Python implementation in Jython so maybe the Java camp is going to end up with more choices? There are people hard at work on Ruby .Net integration. How long until MS decides to put some weight behind those efforts as well?
Yay! Launch party.
However I was too optimistic with my scheduling and ended up delivering the version they wanted later in the game than was expected.
Unfortunately because of this early let down all of my hard work and racing against the clock in the end was not rewarded with anything.
Lesson learned:
As soon as I see unrealistic dates or expectation I need to set them straight right away, and build in ample cushion time for unforseen problems.
Has this happened to anyone else? Just kidding.
Im currently upgrading my phone for 2 reasons:
1) The interface is too slow to respond to my commands. I swear this thing is slowing down on purpose to make me upgrade.
2) I have exhausted the selection of ring tones, and they all make me cringe when they go off.
So i’ve settled on a Motorola v330 from T-mobile. It’s just arrived and I’m powering it up right now.
This brings me to the point of my posting, my old phone a Sony Ericcson T68i has a bluetooth connection and I’ve been happily using it to control my PC and media systems here at home. When I pull the SIM card out though it becomes little more than a paper weight. Don’t I own this piece of electronics?
Why can’t I continue to use my phones other non-phone features?
Oh by the way I’m using a really cool program called Floats Mobile agent that allows me nearly complete PC control from a Sony Ericcson phone.

I’ve got like 10-15 spam in the past few days.
Anyone else notice this?
Might just be the best supporting character on the Simpsons.
