IBM Creates Fund To Train Workers Who Might Be Outsourced
...It appears that IBM is realizing that it's very costly to lose good employees - even if their jobs are being outsourced. While smaller companies can't be expected to match this sort of training program, it is a good example of a company understanding that outsourcing certain jobs opens up new opportunities at home - and they might as well fill those jobs with people they already know. [Techdirt]
A nice example of non-pointy thinking by a large corporation. It's revealing that this sort of forward planning is rare enough to warrant a news item.

And some wonder why people live in the land of ice and snow...
Artists and architects converged in Kemi and Rovaniemi, Lapland to design architectonic structures out of snow and ice for The Snow Show.
Although all the installations are beautiful, I am most impressed by the work of Zaha Hadid + Cai Guo-Qiang (pics), Morphosis + Do-Ho Suh (pics), Enrique Norten + Lawrence Weiner (pics) and Lebbeus Woods + Kiki Smith (pics).
