My Letter to Congress
Senator, The $700,000,000,000.00 bailout is a fraud. Don't borrow to make the Treasury Secretary the richest man in the USA. We already have over $500,000,000,000.00 in deficit spending this year, DON'T pile an even bigger burden on taxpayers. We don't need to borrow $700,000,000,000.00 from China to save people that KNOWINGLY gave loans to people that could not repay. DON'T save companies that KNOWINGLY bought bad loans from those that made them. Remember the GOVERNMENT guaranteed Fannie & Freddy, not every other company that copied their bad practices.

Cadalyst
One of the backbones of the Architecture documenting industry is Cadalyst Magazine. As a new graduate from USC, I read the magazine regularly at my job. They covered hardware and software. Since the software portion of the industry is dominated by Autodesk, they covered Autocad and its family of products extensively. One particular column was entitled "Hot Tip Harry." The magazine started an online componant where you could download AutoLisp code from other readers. Contributers were given a shot at $50 for best tip of the month. Now that the magazine is exclusively online, they have compiled all the tips into a searchable database. Enjoy!
