		<description>Who is &quot;General Failure&quot; and why is he reading my hard disk?!

PS: Have you seen this?
Dilbert&#039;s Law: Engineers vs Business

Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now we have a mathematical proof that explains why this is true:

* Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
* Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows,

    Work
    ------     = Power
    Time

Since

    Knowledge = Power 

and

    Time = Money 

we have:

    Work
    ------     = Knowledge
    Money

Solving for Money, we get:

    Work
    -------------     = Money
    Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity! - regardless of the amount of Work done.

Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.

Note: It has been speculated that the reason why Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard&#039;s math program was because he stumbled upon this proof as an undergraduate, and dedicated the rest of his career to the pursuit of ignorance.</description>

<p>PS: Have you seen this?<br />
Dilbert&#8217;s Law: Engineers vs Business</p>
<p>Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives. Now we have a mathematical proof that explains why this is true:</p>
<p>* Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.<br />
* Postulate 2: Time is Money.</p>
<p>As every engineer knows,</p>
<p>    Work<br />
    &#8212;&#8212;     = Power<br />
    Time</p>
<p>Since</p>
<p>    Knowledge = Power </p>
<p>and</p>
<p>    Time = Money </p>
<p>we have:</p>
<p>    Work<br />
    &#8212;&#8212;     = Knowledge<br />
    Money</p>
<p>Solving for Money, we get:</p>
<p>    Work<br />
    &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-     = Money<br />
    Knowledge</p>
<p>Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity! &#8211; regardless of the amount of Work done.</p>
<p>Conclusion: The Less you Know, the More you Make.</p>

		<description>You go, Daya !

Hey I like the style and you could be onto something with your selection of content.

Maybe increase font-size a bit for older readers (like Uncle Chris!)
I think mandatory for any blog should be some humour too...

eg. Some common Oxymorons (and Bush not even on the list!) :

45. Act naturally
44. Found missing
43. Resident alien
42. Advanced BASIC
41. Genuine imitation
40. Airline Food
39. Good grief
38. Same difference
37. Almost exactly
36. Government organization
35. Sanitary landfill
34. Alone together
33. Legally drunk
32. Silent scream
31. Living dead
30. Small crowd
29. Business ethics
28. Soft rock
27. Butt Head
26. Military Intelligence
25. Software documentation
24. New classic
23. Sweet sorrow
22. Childproof
21. “Now, then …”
20. Synthetic natural gas
19. Passive aggression
18. Taped live
17. Clearly misunderstood
16. Peace force
15. Extinct Life
14. Temporary tax increase
13. Computer jock
12. Plastic glasses
11. Terribly pleased
10. Computer security
9. Political science
8. Tight slacks
7. Definite maybe
6. Pretty ugly
5. Twelve-ounce pound cake
4. Diet ice cream
3. Working vacation
2. Exact estimate
1. Microsoft Works</description>
