'Law & Order' Actor Jerry Orbach Dies

This is sad. The article reveals that "last month, Orbach's manager Robert Malcolm announced Orbach had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had been receiving treatment for the disease since the spring."

Thanks to a fellow blogger and co-worker I know who I am most like (those who do know me are probably chuckling):

Visit Google: Pictures of Googleplex

I lifted this link off the Google blog feed. 6S (a Search optimization company) visited the Googleplex. All can say is "Wow!" Those fortunate to work in this environment and others like it...you are a lucky few. It is no wonder people in world class facilities (generally) are inspired to turn out world class products and services.

And please don't leave me comments about how H & P started HP from that garage in Palo Alto.

I know not all of us work in world class facilities and (still) turn out some amazing products and services.

Not all of us are there at the start of a great company. In later generations of a company you might need something more than a great product or service to maintain morale. An extrodinary investment in employees through your office set-up, benefits and cafeteria show what you mean to the Joe or Jane in the cubefarm.

Columnists : Dave Barry -- on Herald.com (and why the "free" Web site subscription model should die),

I would post a link on my blog to Dave Barry however, his home newspaper the Miami Herald chooses to use a sign up to receive greater access to his column. Additional "benefits" are described as "Offers from our partner Cool Savings".

This is what is wrong with the Internet. I start reading Dave's "Year End In Review" and because I have exceeded some arbitrary number of pages on the Herald's Web site I am repeatedly shown a sign-up form. How utterly annoying! Not only this but, because of this subscription model, Dave's blog is merely a list of links to news items sent by his astute readers. Boring.

Guess, I'll catch Dave's column in the local paper. Thanks anyway!
