via Why Conventions Matter :: phly, boy, phly.

My point is this: there will always be more than one way to do things when you’re programming, and you may not always agree with the decisions your team has made, or the component library or framework you’re using has made. However, if you poke around a little and play within those confines, you may find that those decisions make other decisions easier, or disappear altogether.

I wholeheartedly agree. It reminds me of The Paradox of Choice – Why More Is Less

>From an anonymous chain letter I received. I thought it was worth sharing:

To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask  someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to:
A premature baby.

To realize
The value of one week::
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the a train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.

You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.

To realize the value of a friend or family member:
LOSE ONE

>I love living in Anaheim:

Voters in California’s tenth largest city will have an opportunity to ban red light cameras in November. On Tuesday, the Anaheim City Council unanimously endorsed the idea of placing a charter amendment on the ballot that, if approved by the public, would ensure that automated ticketing machines never appear on city streets. Mayor Curt Pringle, a former speaker of the California State Assembly, offered the measure even though his city has never used cameras.
