I love studies that show how some mundane aspect of your life reveals your personality type, because it all may as well be completely made up. Go »Two New Web Sites!
Okay, maybe they're not really worth an exclamation point. But I like 'em. Details in full text. The first new web site is for my Matrix-based RPG. Go »Piracy Tax
Still a fan of Randy Bachman after this news, Erik? Songwriters association pushes for 'piracy' fee. Go »Block Party III: Rock Around the Clock
It's been a while since we had one of these, and the start of a GOO round seems like a good time. This Sunday, you're invited to try Rock Block for the first time, and/or play lots of matches if you're already experienced. Go »Weasel Words Ripped My Flesh
"Just as the skill and processes are not compartmentalized in the creation process, the evaluation of outcomes will occur against a background of understanding that separation of outcomes into discrete components is subordinate to the evaluation of the total process as a comprehensive outcome. Go »

Anna just got fired from her job for writing about it on her weblog. She mentioned one of the company's clients in an old entry (now gone), then a service that searches for companies found the entry, and she was let go because of a "breach of confidentiality." The worst part, imo, is that there's no stated policy against this at the company - but now that it's happened, the company's going to have a word with all of their current employees about it, to keep it from happening again. It really bites to be fired from your job for breaking a rule that you didn't know existed (and may not have existed!) when you broke it. I'm fairly pissed about this situation right now. Let's have some words of sympathy and/or support for Anna.
