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.

Math for Programmers
Here's an interesting post called Math for Programmers. It suggests an alternative math curriculum for students which is designed to be more relevant for programmers. Some of the comments are good too, obviously pointing out that some people won't become programmers and other branches of math will be more relevant to them. I do agree that there's lots you can learn on your own these days and students should be taught that math isn't scary and isn't that difficult and can be learned.
