« A fine specimen of an authentic Joulupukki, possibly exported
from Finland, in the Burlington Mall, Burlington, Massachusettes in
1998. »
I found this picture a while back when digging through some old
photos and I remembered watching the old guy for a while since the
beard and every detail about his costume was perfect. Had I been a
child, I would have wanted to believe this person was really Santa.
The Sanomat today had an article about how difficult it is to
find suitable Santas and, in England, kids can't even sit on Santa's
lap anymore due to a paranoid frenzy over Santas getting handsy. I
briefly entertained applying for a Joulupukki job on one of the cruise
ships for grins, but figured I'd just make kids cry by telling them
they were all going to get coal and switches under the tree. Ho Ho Ho.

Big Labor Changes Tack
Big Labor Changes Tack
04/09/2004 03:55 PMLabor unions in the US have traditionally been opposed to free trade
based purely on protectionist agendas. The flow of jobs overseas
reduces their political power, which degrades not only their influence
on government but their collective bargaining power with US businesses
who can simply go overseas when the cost of doing business cuts into
their margins too deeply. But in a surpising change in tactics, the
AFL-CIO (one of America's leading labor unions) has asked the Bush
administration to determine whether trade with China actually violates
free trade agreements by using government subsidies.

The scalability myth
The scalability myth
08/19/2004 12:45 AM
At one time or another, nearly every kind of information technology
has been judged and found wanting. The failures are often summed up in
that most damning of epithets: "It doesn't scale." The reason, of
course, is that at one time or another, for one reason or another,
every kind of information technology has failed to scale.
Unfortunately for the victims tarred with that brush, scalability is a
wildly imprecise term. Applications may be expected to scale up to
massive server farms or scale down to handsets. And size is only one
axis of scalability. Others include bandwidth, transactional
intensity, service availability, transitivity of trust, query
performance, and the human comprehensibility of source code or
end-user information display.
...
It's tempting to conclude that the decentralized, loosely coupled Web
architecture is intrinsically scalable. Not so. We've simply learned
-- and are still learning -- how to mix those ingredients properly.
Formats and protocols that people can read and write enhance
scalability along the human axis. Caching and load-balancing
techniques help us with bandwidth and availability. But some kinds of
problems will always require a different mix of ingredients. Microsoft
has consolidated its internal business applications, for example, onto
a single instance of SAP. In this case, the successful architecture is
centralized and tightly coupled.
For any technology, the statement "X doesn't scale" is a myth. The
reality is that there are ways X can be made to scale and ways to
screw up trying. Understanding the possibilities and avoiding the
pitfalls requires experience that doesn't (yet) come in a box. [Full

Based on the
reaction so far, it seems
like this piece went over well. It's
so nice to be able to
track reactions that way.

12/02/2003 01:26 PMSince the introduction of the original iMac in 1998, there has been
complaints that Apple's consumer models are not upgradable. It's true,
aside from memory, hard drive space and optical drives, that there
isn't much upgrading that can be done internally to an eMac or iMac.
It is also true that most consumers almost never upgrade anything
other than the memory or hard drive space on their computers.
