I'm a fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, both in book and cinema form. It's not that surprising that I've been thinking about the fact that the third and final movie is now in the theaters, and I don't really have the time to go see it... darn. Anyhoo, until everyone does here's 11 Ways Peter Jackson Could Ruin The Return of the King.
Biculturalism
Several sources pointed me to Joel's excellent article, Biculturalism. It's programming-oriented, but I'd say it's a good read for anyone who bothers reading this blog regularly. The article doesn't deal as much with programming as it deals with the cultural differences between UNIX and Windows. I actually think it even helped me understand some of my friends a little better, and every little bit helps.
