I watched another good Bollywood movie, Dil To Pagal Hai. It stars Karishma Kapoor, Kareena's older sister, and Madhuri Dixit who reminds me of Rani Mukherjee.#
The movie is a fairly clever. The biggest disappointment with it was that there was little tradition style outfits and dancing, which has become my favourite aspect of these movies. Still it was very cute, and Amanda cried at the end.#
I've listened to some interesting lectures recently:#
Brad DeLong it shouldn't be forced, thus it shouldn't be done. Logic at its finest.#
Scott Beaulier posts the most safe and most dangerous cities list. Interesting, Newton, MA is at the top of the safe list. I think this is strange because it is a stone's throw from some tough neighborhoods in Boston. I wonder if in compiling this data they to into account that the inhabitants are likely to routinely go into more dangerous areas?#

The Graphing Calculator Story#
I used to be a contractor for Apple, working on a secret project. Unfortunately, the computer we were building never saw the light of day. The project was so plagued by politics and ego that when the engineers requested technical oversight, our manager hired a psychologist instead. In August 1993, the project was canceled. A year of my work evaporated, my contract ended, and I was unemployed.
I was frustrated by all the wasted effort, so I decided to uncancel my small part of the project. I had been paid to do a job, and I wanted to finish it. My electronic badge still opened Apple's doors, so I just kept showing up.
