LOCUS DEMENTIA: August 2006
http://locusdementia.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 04, 2006. My friends lament how I’ve turned coat against the Java establishment and joined the ranks of Microsoft. For the past few years, I’ve enjoyed a model of efficiency that I hadn’t had since the early days of Java. Back then code was king, and writing software quickly and smartly is what made Java such a hit. I like .NET and will continue to espouse its efficiencies and support, but I can not say the same for ASP.NET 2. The Java Enterprise platform is much more friendly ...

LOCUS DEMENTIA: Money, College, and High School Sports
http://locusdementia.blogspot.com/2011/10/money-college-and-high-school-sports.html
Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Money, College, and High School Sports. I have a daughter who is a freshman at George Washington University. She has been in school for about 59 days now. For the last two weeks, we have gotten several appeals for more money on her "GWorld" spending card so that she can "eat.". We are able to get the transaction breakdown of her spending, which allowed me to come up with some metrics. 1263 is pretty high for food. You can get the NutriSystem delivered to your door for 28 ...

LOCUS DEMENTIA: March 2006
http://locusdementia.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 16, 2006. With all of the successful work with stem cells, why has the US government stymied further publicly funded research? Like many people, I found this apparent lack of vision to be frustrating. Why shouldn't the public be frustrated, with Christopher Reeves passing away, and countless young people resigned to paraplegia thanks to skiing or skating injuries. Who wouldn't want to see these people cured of their physical breaks? What exactly is an embryonic stem cell? That a human can...

LOCUS DEMENTIA: December 2006

Monday, December 04, 2006. I have recovered my love for All Things Zune. Turns out that many Zune users out there try to use the front-side USB ports on their computers only to be met with constant halts and failed synchronization attempts. I experienced the same. I am finally Apple Free! Friday, December 01, 2006. I like my Zune. The physical device is a great little media player. The one thing wrong with it is the software wrapped around it.

Tuesday, January 24, 2006. In the modern world, though, we have a variety of taxes. There is sales tax on sold goods, value-added tax on services, tax on your income, and extra tax on those vice-related items, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and gasoline. Then you have municipal taxes for business, property taxes for homes, and capital gains taxes on your investments. Phew! Everywhere you turn there is a tax, and they keep going up. So where did your employer get that $1 to pay you? How much is that? I comp...

Friday, June 09, 2006. There’s not a day in the world of money that does not report something about China and its emerging market. Heck, why not, with a GDP of over 8 TRILLION DOLLARS, twice that of Japan, and 6 TIMES that of the United Kingdom. China is definitely a powerhouse economy that is really heating up. Yet, today you can read about this $100 laptop that is being manufactured by a company named Quanta and distributed by Nicholas Negroponte’s. One Laptop Per Child. China: $8,859,000,000,000.
