• Student expelled for one year after carrying Advil in her purse. via Petrilli. These kind of right-wing philosophies (zero-tolerance) make me wonder if the compassionate conservatives are depressingly full of "I’m OK, no one else is" mentality.
• Understanding Object Oriented Programming. No wonder why Phil Greenspun thought Java is an SUV. OOP is a wonderful paradigm, but as is with any paradigm, healthy dose of reality is required to make it practical. Comments by Simon Willison, Hans Novak, Kimbro Staken, Mick and Jarno Virtanen. To be fair, the example they have chosen to illustrate the merits of OOP is completely counter-productive. Other than somehow calling people who solves a problem at hand efficiently as hackers, this article, IMO, scares the hell out of anyone who is interested in OOP!

Back to Tylenol and NyQuil. I went to the doctor today and she gave me Zithromax that is apparently very powerful. I hope not to feel like having a dump truck operating in my head soon.
