Preschoolers and Pedicures

Over at Silicon Valley Moms Blog there is quite a discussion going on about preschoolers and pedicures. Is it appropriate for a kid who is still sucking her thumb to be getting a pedicure? My gut says no way in the world but... Now the NerdPie (4) would love for me to paint her toe nails but NerdDad and I have always agreed that she isn't old enough. But some of the commenters had some great points. How is this different than getting a toy as a reward? Or ice cream? But on the other hand, girls who start things this young start to feel entitled to certain treatment and I don't want to have to deal with that issue. So what do you all think? Chime in here and let me know!

I want my Tax Stimulus!

So we all want to know when we are getting our tax stimulus package, right? Well if you go over to the IRS they have a chart of when you should get your money. These are for people who had their taxes processed by April 15th. It is broken up between direct deposit and checks in the mail.

Computer Programming Quotes

Dev Topics has a great list of 101 Great Computer Programming Quotes. I like many of them but here are a couple I loved.

"That's what's cool about working with computers. They don't argue, they remember everything, and they don't drink all your beer."
(Paul Leary) (Though I would substitute Chocolate;)

"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window."
(Steve Wozniak)

"Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves."
(Alan Kay)
