As I See It: The Donking Life
July 17, 2006 Victor Rozek
… Read moreIt’s summertime and the song tells me the living should be easy. And I want to believe it. But it’s Monday morning again and the fish aren’t jumping and the cotton is only high because my shorts are riding up. It’s going to be a long day and I’m already thinking about next weekend, feeling distracted, restless, and bored with my job; wanting to avoid doing it for as long as possible.
When that wave of restlessness engulfs me, obligations seem nearly intolerable and sameness becomes the enemy of sanity. I mean, how many times can I do the same

As I See It: The Great Disconnect
June 26, 2006 Victor Rozek
… Read moreThere is a reason why programmers don’t write code on typewriters: disconnecting software from a computer strips it of its utility. Without a machine to run it, the code might still be elegant, but it would no longer be relevant. And no matter how inspired and dedicated the programmer, without that essential connection, the results will be less than favorable.
The same can be said for the economy. Like software disconnected from a computer, the economy has become disconnected from the people operating within it, and the results are increasingly unfavorable. In an economic sense, we think we’re typing on

As I See It: Taking Care
June 12, 2006 Victor Rozek
… Read moreIt took my mother a long time to die. It wasn’t quick and tidy like Bing Crosby collapsing on the golf course while playing the game he loved. Her decline was lengthy, and difficult, and sometimes unpleasant. And, as the only child, the responsibility for her care fell to me. There were days when her problems were so consuming and overwhelming that I thought there was not enough time or money in the whole world to solve them. Of course, the biggest problem wasn’t solvable at all–she was dying–and no amount of visits, or medications, or trips to the doctor,

As I See It: Net Reality
May 30, 2006 Victor Rozek
… Read moreThere is a tug-of-war going on between giants. On one end of the rope, telephone and cable companies like AT&T and Comcast; on the other, software and search engine providers like Microsoft and Google. Both ends of the rope are manned by armies of lobbyists with pockets laden with cash. The venue is Congress; the issue is whether to maintain or dismantle what is popularly known as “net neutrality.” The prize is control of the Internet.
If the combatants are mammoth, so are the stakes. Three hugely important issues surround the fight over net neutrality: Who makes the
