I do think it's ironic that Barbara Corcoran says making more than $500K is what allowed her to do IVF, in this ridiculous NYTimes piece: [link]
Samurai umbrella will not make you a real samurai
Well, this samurai umbrella is kind of neat. It's an umbrella, see, but it has the hilt of a samurai sword. You won't be able to slice and dice anybody with it, but you will be able to keep yourself dry when it rains. And I'd like to see a real samurai do that!
I think it's cool. Sure, it's just an umbrella, but watch everyone quake in fear... before you open the umbrella, anyway....
I know that top executives get a lot of their income from sources other than their salaries, so being capped at $500K shouldn't put them out on the street. I'm wondering how many companies are going to find ways around this - subsidize their execs' lifestyles without actually giving them that amount as salary. (cynical? moi?)
I had an addictive afternoon with geni.com - which is free. It's sort of like social networking plus genealogy. It doesn't have information, but lets you make trees and add a lot of info.
Also, if anybody wants subscription Ancestry documents, drop me a line - my work subscribes, and I think I can download pdfs and email them.

Ooo, I"ve had my eye on some census print outs. If I can get my computer at home fumigated properly, I'll see what I need.

Rats have rights too.

I just want to note that my housemate made the Bacon Explosion recipe for a Super Bowl party and I am eating the leftovers for lunch today. Mmmm, bacon.
What I find intriguing about all the hubbub over the enormous bonuses paid in 2008 is that, of the people I know in banking, all receive their bonuses in February/March, based on the previous year. So, while I think most executive pay is outrageous, it's not really fair to say that the bonuses they received in 2008 were based on substandard performance.
