Software Pricing: Are We Doing It Wrong?
From the Coding Horror Blog
One of the side effects of using the iPhone App store so much is that it's started to fundamentally alter my perception of software pricing. So many excellent iPhone applications are either free, or no more than a few bucks at most. That's below the threshold of impulse purchase and squarely in no-brainer territory for anyth

E-books vs Real Books: What's the verdict?
From Will it Change You Blog credit: ginnerobot Like many other bloggers I’m a big fan of reading books. I’m also fairly involved in the online world, so I do a lot of online reading.

Interesting Architecture: Art Deco
Seen on Lamespotting Fredericton Blog Many cities have great examples of Art Deco buildings in their downtowns. This one was the best that I could find. I considered NBPower building, but all those air conditioners in the windows ruin the look. I have no idea whether it’s authentic Art Deco, or a recreation, but it reminds me of an old [...]

From the blog of Tim Scammell Here's a nifty address to an interesting blog about the York Street Station and some costs that may be associated with its repairs. <br /><br />Thanks to Mr./Mrs./Ms./Miss (?)

From the Coding Horror Blog

My wife, who was in charge of this purchase, dutifully unboxed the camera, installed the batteries, and began testing it out for the first time. Like so many electronic gadgets, it came bundled with a CD of software.

For many people, me included, doing what you love has more to do with getting away from the mindset of work and away from the money-generating world. Maybe you love going to the beach [...]
