Where's Bill?

Where's Bill? 12/02/2003 02:39 PM
If you can offer the world a strip like Calvin and Hobbes, don't you have a responsibility to keep working? The Cleveland Scene travels to Chagrin Falls, Ohio, trying to track down its most famous (and famously reclusive) resident, Calvin and Hobbes author Bill Watterson. Along the way, the reporter contemplates micturating Calvins, burning paintings, the cost of hewing to one's principles, and the utter vacuity of Jim Davis's soul. In the end, there's even a brief encounter with a man who may or may not have once made millions happy by drawing a six-year-old boy and his stuffed tiger.

Bill Joy Still Worried

Bill Joy Still Worried 11/19/2003 02:16 PM
Wired Magazine's latest interview is with everyone's favorite worrier, Bill Joy, talking about why he's both optimistic and pessimistic about the future. He remains, as you might expect, quite opinionated, believing that there are plenty of near term opportunities for technology as computers get more powerful. However, he's still worrying about how we're all going to blow ourselves up if we don't come up with some sort of Hippocratic Oath for technologists.

Don't Just Spy On Employees, Bill Them

Don't Just Spy On Employees, Bill Them
As Well 02/01/2005 09:43 PM
While many studies have shown that spying on employees tends to make them less motivated and less productive, that still hasn't stopped any number of companies from coming out with tools to help show just how much you distrust your employees. The latest, however, goes a bit further than the usual reports of just what various employees have been doing while surfing the internet. This one tracks exactly how much time and bandwidth an employee uses on various websites so that an employer can bill the employee for that time. Do you think the companies that install this will also bill the employees for the amount of water they drink out of the water fountain? Maybe the wear and tear in the parking lot from driving their car into it each day as well would make sense. It's not clear why this needs to be repeated so often -- but such micromanaging of employees doesn't tend to do much good. If an employee isn't getting their job done, that's an issue that should be taken care of. However, monitoring what they're doing every minute of the day -- and then even stooping so low as to charge them for the time, is a plan that's only going to backfire. Hopefully, the first employee presented with such a bill will turn around and present a bill to the employer for any phone calls or emails handled at home as well as the time, gas and depreciation expenses of driving to work each day.

$3,500 Cell Bill

$3,500 Cell Bill 04/22/2004 05:19 PM
Joi Ito's roaming comes home: $3,500 bill for mostly data (3rd item): Ito is a former venture capitalist and deeply involved with two companies I hold dear: Technorati (which tells me when folks link to this site) and Movable Type (which powers this site). But even such a globe-spanning sophisticate such as he can get it socked to him. The Wall Street Journal reports that Ito's $3,500 cell bill, $2,800 of which was for cell data roaming charges representing 188 Mb of transfers, will appear in the next issue of Wired magazine....

Use A $2 Bill At Best Buy; Get Arrested

Use A $2 Bill At Best Buy; Get Arrested 04/07/2005 03:22 PM
There's an old net.legend that's been passed around plenty of times about a Taco Bell employee refusing to take a $2 bill, because he thought it wasn't real. It's not entirely surprising, given the rarity of the $2 bill in common usage. However, it appears Best Buy has taken that Taco Bell story to an entirely different level where they decided to have a customer arrested for using $2 bills. Apparently, no one at the store or in the local police force recognized that $2 bills are perfectly legal currency.

Dinner with Bill

Dinner with Bill 07/30/2004 11:52 AM

Jeff Maurone, an intern at Microsoft, shares his experience having dinner at Bill Gates' home.

Further and further you descend, past what seems to be an annex library, as it was certainly not the primary librarian that houses the Leicester Codex (Bill's original DaVinci notebook, for which he paid approx $30.8 million). Elegantly non-intrusive but screaming geekhood were sparsely placed digital canvases that, ever so often, changed the artwork on the wall. We passed the movie theatre, rumored to be the most advanced movie theatre in the world. Finally, we reached the bottom level of the entertaining portion of the home. To the left was a room with a design so powerful that it could only exist in the home of the richest man in the world.

After hearing about the security surrounding the house and the amount of work Bill does, it makes me appreciate the ability to sit on my back porch, eat a popsicle, and watch the sun set.

One hell of a bad bill

One hell of a bad bill 06/05/2005 11:10 PM
Sen. James Sensenbrenner (Rep., Wisc.) has introduced H.R. 1528, a bill that would mandate a ten-year minimum sentence if you smoke pot within 500 feet of a child. And that's just the beginning of its badness. If you see someone using drugs anywhere near a child, you must tell the cops within 24 hours or go to jail for 2-10 years...unless you're the parent of the child so wickedly exposed to someone smoking a joint, in which case you're sent away for 3-20. Yeah, forcing people to become informants. That's what's made this country great. The bill has been referred...

Reagan should be on a $3 bill

Reagan should be on a $3 bill 06/11/2004 07:06 PM
Reagan should be on a $3 bill "For the funeral of Ronald Reagan, they took the body from Beverly Hills to Simi Valley, the white Los Angeles suburb, where it stayed for a day and a half or so then they drove it in one of these two hearses to the airport and flew it to Washington and then they had a march and afterwards put the casket into the Capitol for crowds to pass by and now there was to be another march and a religous service and then a drive to the airport, where the casket will be shuttled back to the airport south of Los Angeles and in a hearse to the final ceremony at his library on Friday. That is quite a funeral. They buried George Washingon in half the time. You keep thinking of Harry Truman, whose code was, "Do not impose." He left an order that there were to be no eulogies at his funeral."
