True, the markup is crazy big I'm sure, but that pays for the other 99% of the books in the store that sit there looking cool and making the place look all bookstorish.

I never really got into Skunkworks. Not sure why either, it just never really appealed to me. I loved Chemical Wedding almost as much as Accident of Birth. But Tattooed Millionaire was special, and totally different. I have some fond memories of delivering pizza in college listening to Zulu Lulu and Dive Dive Dive. I didn't know he had a biography out. I may have to pick it up. Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.

Oakman wrote: Once upon a time unions served a purpose My father, who passed away in '82, worked for USS Steel for 33 years before he retired. He was a stauch union member (and straight ticket Democrat voter) for 30 of those years. He was thoroughly disgusted with the Steel Workers Union after 30 years because the union protected malcontents, milingerers and general deadasses and finally took a promotion to a management level that took him out of the union. I saw him man the picket lines for 180 days in the 1950s, his leaving the union was no small thing. Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh.

Interesting. It actually sounds like something O'Brien would have said to Winston Smith in "1984".

Before helmets became law here, I flipped over my handlebars when stopping using the front brake. I put out my left hand to stop myself, and broke my collarbone and a knuckle. Then the bike landed on me. Then I noticed the traffic had stopped. When I got up I felt no pain dragging the bike to the curb, until I got in the police car (handily at the intersection when I flipped). I don't go biking without a helmet now. Cheetah. Ferret.

Congrats! Don't feel bad. Before you knew it, they will all grown up. I can't believe my last one is almost a year!
