So yesterday was Earth Day and I missed it. Unsuccessfully tried to get the Mrs. to by a hybrid, failed. Me, I find an average of less than 30 mpg unacceptable, but I’m weird.
This is sad, sad, sad (pun intended).
Torture: Maybe it works, but is it really necessary??

The mid-size version of the lies and thievery of Micro$oft: Here and here.
Seriously, is there an explanation for this: People who preside over losses and other managerial failures get bonuses? It’s bad enough a board isn’t canning inept top managers, but giving them bonuses? WTF, indeed. Maybe the Times can run a piece explaining it….
