The Black Keys

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

If you dig the Raconteurs or the White Stripes, The Black Keys are going to blow you away! They’ve been on my list of bands to check out for years, and I’m seriously disappointed that I’ve not listened to their stuff sooner. Give them a listen. They’re brilliant!

Quote of the day

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

“As economics is known as ‘the miserable science’, software engineering should be known as ‘the doomed discipline’, doomed because it cannot even approach its goal since its goal is self-contradictory. Software engineering presents itself as another worthy cause, but that is eyewash: if you carefully read its literature and analyse what its devotees actually do, you will discover that software engineering has accepted as its charter ‘How to program if you cannot’.”

– Edsger Dijkstra
