ASP.NET and Joe Stagner Speak at GLUGNET

On July 20th, 2006 Joe Stagner, Microsoft PM for ASP.NET spoke at our users group meeting on the beautiful campus of Michigan State University. Joe's presentation on Atlas was lively, engaging, and informative. Joe's energy and expert knowledge of Atlas encouraged me to go to work the next morning and replace the heavy JavaScript implementation of Atlas we were using with some of the Atlas Web Controls, like the Update Panel.

GLUGNET had a record turnout, and I would encourage anyone who gets a change to here Joe speak to do so. Thanks to Drew Robbins of Microsoft and Joe Kunk VP of GLUGNET for working so hard to bring our group Joe Stagner.

A Judiciary Supposes

that a housewife's endeavors are worth approximately $130,000US per annum. A man that goes to work every day knows precisely his minimum worth to an employer. I submit that what you can freely get or coerce from your "employer" is what your job is precisely worth at its lowest extreme.

Suppose a man only earns $50,000 dollars per annum and his wife attends to the children how can her efforts be worth more? For if they were then why shant the man defer compensatorially and permit the wife to collect such wages?

It is hooey that men and women are deemed equal yet in a divorce settlement it is assumed that women are equally entitled to property but unequally incapable of providing for the children without financial support from the man.

Outsource Yourself

I retired today. I outsourced myself. It finally dawned on me that if a big company could hire cheap foreign labor to reduce costs why couldn't I hire cheap foreign labor to work for me. I pay them a pittance and keep the rest. It works quite well.

So, I am sitting here on my yacht "Chillin' the Most" drinking margeuritas at 10am catching some sun.

I'm thinking that I will outsource myself at two or three companies next year and upgrade my yacht from the current 3' dinghy to maybe a twelve foot johnboat. If I outsource myself 50 or 100 times I can probably get a real yacht. (Now I just have to outsource myself at home because my wife won't do any housework.)
