"On "The Bachelor," [31-year-old] Michel, a management consultant from San Francisco, took 25 women on elaborate dates, slowly eliminating them like tribe members on "Survivor." In the end, he did what a lot of men would: He picked the 23-year-old blonde with the fake breasts." -- MSNBC
Yet, as a fan of "Blind Date" (which, based in LA, [insert joke here]), "The Bachelor" didn't appeal to me at all.

Now this is pretty cool: free email advice from "elders", a very 21st century tribal kind of thing.
Why do people call Psychic Hotlines?

Java packages use a physical file layout to form conceptual structure. C#'s conceptual structure (namespaces) is independent of the physical file layout. C++ splits the difference with header files and source files in different physical locations but representing the same conceptual structure. I like C#'s approach the best, but the real question is, why do I think about these things at 4:40 am?

I was an intern Program Manager at Microsoft a couple of summers ago. I keep thinking about "what's strategic" for my thesis, "cutting features", and the "features/resources/time" triangle. I can't get it out of my head. Maybe that's a good thing?

The weird thing about programming in two (or more) languages more or less simultaneously is that I tend to transfer concepts between them when it may or may not be appropriate. MyJavaClassesLookLikeThis and so do some of my C++ classes (instead_of_like_this). Same with methods/member functions, etc. Also, I went overboard with packages in Java and I ended up doing the same with namespaces in C++.
That's just whining. The real problem is when I start to depend on things in one language but not the other: "Where's my finally block?", "What is this compareTo? It just needs operator< and that's it." "Where's my using keyword?"
