We had to lay off a couple of people in my department today. It wasn’t my responsiblity to make the decision, or to deliver the bad news, thankfully. Still, I’d rather it hadn’t happened, and I wish there was something I could do about it. Check out this Bob Lewis column from InfoWorld for a couple of thoughts on being downsized.

Worried about DDoS attacks yet?
Mike Lin
Does it ever bother you when a 17-year old seems to know more about programming that you do? And you’re 34? (Actually, it doesn’t bother me much, and he seems like a nice guy, so it’s cool. He’s written some neat stuff, too!)
a general update
Aside from adding the blog, I also updated my links page today, and played around with the page formatting a bit.
I recommend you check out Scott McCloud’s I Can’t Stop Thinking #6. It’s a pretty cool take on the whole Napster thing.
