The Basic Problem with No Child Left Behind

This is one of the things I love about using StumbleUpon. Sometimes I find articles that I really want to write about, even when they’ve been out there for a while. And with school starting later this month, the No Child Left Behind program is quite relevant. Too bad, as this study points out, its goals [...]

Steal of the Day: Pottery Barn Rhys Media Tower

Unless you're a discriminating minimalist, you probably collect a lot of crap (or good things). Books, DVDs, bowls, frames, souvenirs, knickknacks — it all adds up. And then, we need a place to put our consumerism on display. To ease the buyer's remorse, it helps to have a storage unit that comes at a highly discounted price. That's where the Pottery Barn Rhys Media Tower ($199) comes in. At $500 off, it's a superb steal. It also doesn't hurt that it's classic, with clean lines in basic black....

How I Got Started In Software Development

It’s a quiet friday afternoon with all of our devs in training today, so I figured I’d take a breather and respond to this meme I’ve been tagged with by Keyvan and others. How Old Were You When You Started Programming? Have I even started really programming yet? I guess I got my first taste when I was around eight with my first computer, a TRS-80 Color Computer. That sucker could display 9 colors, all at once, believe it or not. My programming experience back then was pretty minimal. My da...

Cupcake interview with Lauren Bacon and Emira Mears, authors of The Boss of You

Note from Rachel - I've known Lauren and Emira via email/the internet since way back in the days of their site Soapboxgirls, and was thrilled to see they'd written The Boss of You. I've read about half of it so far (not because it's not good, I'm just busy!) and have found it applicable to my life in various ways. I wanted to interview them because of course this blog is about the joy of cupcakes, but it's also about cupcake bakeries and businesses. We often get emails asking us for advice on st...
