In Silicon Valley there is a curious event happening, there's lots of investment, but still the area is losing technology jobs. Why?
C|NET has an interview with Stephen Levy, director of the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy about this strange trend in Silicon Valley. Many of the things he has to say, I find myself in agreement with from my vantage point of being here on the ground working in the tech industry.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Using guns.
In this case I agree with the sentiment, it wasn't blogging that got Mark Jens fired, but blabbing.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to read the particular Jens post that caused the ruckus. If it was truly about employee benefits, I don't know what he has to complain about. I've been on Google's campus, and it's very nicely appointed, and they have the creme de la creme of employee benefits: Free Drinks.
In Blogging and "information ownership" I discussed blogging and some challenges that arise when employees blog about their company. Several people have been "let go" from their jobs (fired, that is) over what they've written about their employers. Even when they do so outside company time, and on their own websites.
Made in lower-cost America (Published: February 8, 2005, 4:00 AM PST By Ed Frauenheim Staff Writer, CNET News.com): This isn't about the weak dollar making it attractive to produce goods in America. Instead this is about the cheaper cost of living in some parts of America, and how that can prove attractive for the outsourcing of tech projects. I mentioned this in passing a few days ago, but this is a worth-while topic to cover in depth.
I work in the Silicon Valley tech industry. I've been here for nearly 15 years, writing software in a series of companies.
Even after all this time there's one thing which continually takes me by surprise. It's the cultural diversity we have here. The diversity isn't just with the people that work in the same building, or on the same campus, as I, but the partner teams we have in several different countries.
Palace 'ghost' caught on camera

LONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?
