September 13th is the grand opening of the Mill City Museum here in Minneapolis. Sounds like an event to pencil in on the calendar.
Hmm. Seems indymedia is censoring posts that don’t agree with the moderators views. Not surprising, but it’s nice to have someone remind me of it now and again.
I found an interesting site that has The Lord’s prayer in 1221 languages. Many of them are fun to look at, but I was particularly impressed with the Ebonics version [jim]
The Devil’s Dictionary (2.0) is adding to the lexicon. See the archive for the full listing. There aren’t a ton of words there yet, but it’s growing. [accordionguy]
The New X-Men talks about XP (eXtreme Programming) and how it’s working for some folks. I keep thinking about trying XP, but it’s tough when you’re working for companies that don’t think much of those ideas. I suppose I could go off and try it all by myself, but that would miss the pair-programming part which people say is one of the most valuable bits of XP. I'm hoping that The Career Programmer: Guerilla Tactics for an Imperfect World ISBN:1590590082 will maybe point out a solution.
