Thanks for pointing that out
bjchrist··on Is an MBA worth it?
Disclaimer: I haven't taken a MBA, so I don't have any personal experience with the program.

Personally, I wouldn't take any education, unless I was passionate about it, regardless of the demand in the job offers. Follow your heart ;-)

bjchrist··on Does Android Wear make Google Glass obsolete?
I found the google glass to be an interesting experiment, but nothing that I felt would ever have the potential of becoming mainstream, at least not in the current form factor.

I have used google glass for a while, but stopped because it felt unnatural, and feature were "fun", but not very useful.

Can't wait to try to watch. Makes a lot more sense to me.

From the website:

bjchrist··on The Unexplained Fear Of Remote Employees
I find this to be a very delicate balance, and it of course are heavily dependent on the tasks at hand. On one side you want peace and quiet, in order to concentrate, on the other hand you want close communication with your colleagues.

I think 37signals from lot of good answers to these concerns. I highly recommend reading from 37signals, Remote.

bjchrist··on San Francisco Parking App Refuses Shut-Down Order
Yes, it's a work-around, but it totally makes sense, at least until the city comes up with a better solution for the parking issues in the city.
