O'Reilly Book Covers

How do you guys come up with these animals?

O'Reilly publishes computer books and, on the cover, there's usually a picture of some completely random animal that has nothing to do with the book. What is up with that?!? I was thinking about this today while going through some old books and took a picture to show you what I mean.

Dodd-Frank#

Intro

I promise not to mix politics into this blog and I don't normally post poetry but, as someone who once worked at a Big Bank, I enjoyed this and thought it was worth posting.

<Dodd-Frank#>
I used to write code at the Bank
...and then along came dodd-frank
...and then my job really stank
...I no longer write code at the Bank

Career Advice From Zombies

Normally I would pass on an article with this title but, as a subscriber to the Dice.com blog and someone currently reading World War Z (a great zombie book), I was intrigued and gave this a quick read...

This is a great article -- not just for job seekers but for everyone with aspirations to advance a skill and/or their careers, or those with a specific goal. Zombies lead by example: they demonstrate how to set goals and achieve those goals with a focused tenacity that all living persons should aspire to emulate.
