Cody's was my favorite bookstore on Telegraph. I'm glad I went there when I was in Berkeley last March. I just wish I had known that it would be the last time I'd ever go there. </p> http://darkstar.frop.org/~zwhite/blog/2006/05/19/20060519-american-cargo-cult 2006-05-19T01:37:00Z 2006-05-19T01:37:00Z <p> This is an <a href="http://klausler.com/cargo.html">interesting piece</a>. Sadly, it's largely true. </p> http://darkstar.frop.org/~zwhite/blog/2006/05/03/20060503-work 2006-05-03T01:37:00Z 2006-05-03T01:37:00Z <p> <a href="http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item.jhtml?id=5289&amp;t=organizations&amp;iss=y"> Why Your Employees Are Losing Motivation </a> </p> <p> My boss needs to read that. </p> http://darkstar.frop.org/~zwhite/blog/2006/04/14/20060414-meandmyshadow 2006-04-14T01:39:00Z 2006-04-14T01:39:00Z <p> If you haven't been reading <a href="http://viewaskew.com">Kevin Smith's</a> latest series of blog postings, titled "Me and My Shadow," you're missing a great read. <a href="http://silentbobspeaks.com/?p=235">Check it Out</a>, he's up to part 8 today. </p> <p> In it Kevin details Jason Mewes' descent into drug abuse (mostly heroin and oxycotin) and his efforts to crawl out of the pit he dug. There's nothing particularly different about Jason's story, but Kevin tells the tale well and really makes you feel like you're there. </p> <p> If DARE and other anti-drug programs would have kids read stories like this, and watch movies like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180093/">Requiem for a Dream</a> instead of telling kids that one joint dooms them to a life of crime and poverty, we might have a chance at winning this "drug war". </p> http://darkstar.frop.org/~zwhite/blog/2006/04/14/20060414-easter-turducken 2006-04-14T01:37:00Z 2006-04-14T01:37:00Z <p> <a href="http://asteroid.divnull.com/?p=70">Holy Empty Calories, Batman!</a> </p>
