Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Touching Story
This is just an amazing story from Kevin Sites. "Married at the age of four, an Afghan girl was subjected to years of beatings and torture, finally escaping to discover that within all the world's cruelty, there is also some kindness." Given what the news reports typically are, I had to remind myself that this isn't common practice in Afghanistan. "I think that all people are good people," she says, "except for those that hurt me." It's amazing that she could have such an attitude.
