Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm glad they managed to save the exterior, aurelia.
Children's Hospital of Oakland managed to save the exterior of the old Mission High School. Beautiful building but it was abandoned to vandals for years and was a "beautiful eyesore". As soon as someone cleaned it up and preserved it, it VASTLY improved that neighborhood. I don't think a new building would have had the same effect.
Hell, you can't afford the materials and quality of work of a lot of 100 year old buildings. It sucks that workers were paid so poorly for high craftsmanship but as long as they were, why throw away what was built with it?
Yeah, if elected officials spent twice the money to make a new school pretty, I imagine they would be hell to pay.
I want many of these shoes. How rocking are they?
Snipers? Really? Or is that poor NPR-speak for "guns in schools"?
I'm going to start worrying about snipers more, just in my daily life.
Actually, when I lived in DC and had people come stay, it was fun showing them snipers. I didn't worry about those snipers, though...
There was that DC sniper guy... Edit: him: [link]
I never saw him! Just the ones on the White House, mostly.
Hivemind, can anyone recommend some resources - books or websites or I dunno, techniques, for making decisions collaboratively? We have a hard time finding time to even sit down and discuss things (like, possibly changing our health insurance plan, or where we will go for Christmas this year) and even when we talk about stuff, it is nearly impossible to actually decide to do something and DO it. (Note: I don't have this trouble at work at all, oddly.)
Developer 1 has been sent home to work from there because he has a cold. I'm feeling like I have a cold.
Boss is contemplating having us come into the office over the weekend. There is so much less for us to do this weekend than last go-live weekend. Also? I don't drive on Sundays. I'm not sure how to broach that.
