For the Benefit of Mr Kite

Or is it? This guy says no in his article:

He makes some very good points, except I'm not confortable with the last point. I won't deny that programming is a quite creative thing and that it is rare for the same problem to occur twice however, using these points as a argument for leeway and flexibility is a bit of a jump.

Personally, I don't think that it should be just the "geeks" who get special privilages. Cubicles are evil and should be removed from workplaces anyway and strict dress codes have no place anywhere but the customer service industry. So, why can't these management principles be applied to all employees?

How exciting!

Around 1 this afternoon the fire alarm went off in our building - in fact it went off for all of kangaroo point tafe. Everyone from our rooms who didn't go to the pub looked warily at each other with an expression that said: should we evacuate? The answer of course was yes.

Unfortunately the building wasn't actually on fire. But on the plus side, we did get to spend 20 minutes outside and there were firemen and firetrucks (disappointingly firemen don't look like the do on the calendar in real life)

On our way back in I snapped this picture of the firetruck for the purposes of illustrating my blog entry.

Not the best picture but this bag is cool. You can get this print in lots of styles of bags. I'd really like one.

The buddha above is no ordinary buddha. This happy chappy is made out of delicious chocolate. If buddha isn't your deity of choice then you can choose from 30 others including Lord Krishna ( which is as popular as buddha ).

This is picture of Will Farrell and a doll made in his image. Very cool. If you record your voice the people who make these dolls will give it the ability to speak. Extra cool.
