Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Monday, 2024.04.29 
Many people with jobs have a fantasy about all the amazing things they would do
if they didn’t need to work. In reality, if they had the drive and
commitment to actually do those things, they wouldn’t let a job get in
the way. Unfortunately, if given a lot of money, they are much more likely to
end up addicted to crack, or even worse, World of Warcraft. If you’ve
been institutionalized your entire life (school, work, etc.), it can be very
difficult to adjust to life on "the outside".

Project Valour-IT – 2007

It’s time again to contribute to Project Valour-IT (Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops). Like last year, I’ve kicked in $100 and joined the Marines (gotta support the boots on the ground) lead by Soldiers’ Angel – Holly Aho.

This is a good use of technology. The voice recognition software is quite impressive and continues to improve.

Please note:

Division among military teams is purely for the purpose of friendly competition. Any blogger may join any team and all money raised supports the wounded as needed, regardless of branch of service.
