Once upon a time, I could locate albums in my music collection by the color of the spine. The cover art provided a kind of stylistic fingerprint as unique as the music itself; it was tangible. The process of hearing something new involved the consumption of the cover, jacket, and any enclosed materials in concert [...]
The following is a collection of links which I have pulled (verbatim) from Sun’s website which I intend to return to in the future. They came from the Intro to Struts Tutorial (linked), but I’m more interested in the follow ups.

I recently came across this article relating to the USA Track & Field regulation against wearing headphones in sanctioned events. Here’s the opening paragraph:

Gender place: 1194/12610
Division place: 234/2263
Age Grade: 59.3%

I was reading the book “PRE” by Tom Jordan on the flight into Washington DC last night and ventured upon a short commentary by Mary Decker. If the name isn’t familiar, she’s known as Mary Slaney these days. Of course having spent a little bit of time on the track in the early 80’s, it [...]

That’s the remaining dollar cost average negative balance on the shares of Yahoo! that I own. I can not tell you how many times I swore that if I ever got “even steven” on that stock I was going to sell, Sell, SELL!
