I have often wondered about specialization. We can often find
ourselves in ruts if we specialize too much. But on the other hand,
specialization can lead efficiencies in some cases. In my work as
a consultant, I often find myself in new situations where I have to
learn fast. As one of my associates states -- problem solving is
the key skill. Kevin Barnes article Three theories on how to use developers efficiently is a good read about the subject. | | |

I recently purchased a USB protocol analyzer from Total Phase.
The device will analyze full speed USB traffic and works well with
Linux. On Linux, the software makes use of libusb, so there is
very little setup required to get the device working -- very
nice. At a price of $400, there is really no reason not to have
one if you are doing any type of USB development.

Economics In One Lesson by Henry
Hazlitt presents an interesting and logical view of economics.
The book presents many ideas that seem right (like saving) and provides
very logical arguments to back them up. Even though the book was
originally published in 1946, the topics covered seem very applicable
to today (The Blessings of Destruction, Public Works Mean Taxes, Taxes
Discourage Production, Credit Diverts Production, The Curse of
Machinery, Spread-the-Work Schemes, Disbanding Troops and Bureaucrats,
The Fetish of Full Employment, Who's "Protected" by Tariffs?, The Drive
for Exports, “Parity” Prices, Saving the X Industry, How the Price
System Works, “Stabilizing” Commodities, Government Price-Fixing, What
Rent Control Does, Minimum Wage Laws, Do Unions Really Raise Wages?,
“Enough to Buy Back the Product”, The Function of Profits, The Mirage
of Inflation, The Assault on Saving)
The
book can be found:
The following article presents some of the realities of finding talent
in places like India. It is encouraging that the basic economic
laws of supply and demand still work.
