Paul Graham: Revenge of the Nerds. "The disadvantage of believing that all programming languages are equivalent is that it's not true. But the advantage is that it makes your life a lot simpler.

CNN: Governor's daughter, 15, gets hardship license. "Gov. Rick Perry's 15-year-old daughter has been granted a hardship driver's license after her mother indicated the first family faces 'unusual economic hardship.'" Astounding. I'm now patiently waiting for Texas Republicans to call for an independent counsel or just begin impeachment proceedings.
