Yesterday I called the school where I got my EMT certification for information about their CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) program. I was half hoping the woman I spoke to would say “Class is full.” only because I wasn’t sure how I felt about trading out 120 hours over the next month to take another step down a

I remember being absolutely impressed--as a curious elementary school student--when we learnt in geometry about π ... The Pythagoras Theorem was also really neat. It felt magical that I could not do anything to alter them. They determined the fate of geometry, and we had to simply obey them. Awesome.

Businesses are sitting on a record hoard of cash, but they're not using it to hire workers or pay existing ones better wages. Broadly distributing the fruits of economic growth is the only way to sustain that growth. Corporate America, it's time to spread the wealth. (Michael Hiltzik,

Or is that out of the habit? Quiet here lately. Work deadlines with more to do that the time necessary to accomplish them. 18 months with little billable hours. Now a salary and 60-hour weeks.

As usual, Amanda Marcotte has a number of insightful comments on the latest developments on Mad Men, but I think she gets a little ahead of the known facts and unduly narrows the focus with some of this:
