1. Power Line: It's Over, Thankfully. Interesting comments hypothesizing about why the Dems are so obsessed with Roe v. Wade.

2. It seems Apple's share price closed at $80.86 the day they announced their first Intel-based product (it did!) (via reddit). Neat!

3. Raganwald: What I've learned from failure (via reddit).

   With that in mind, I've taken a little time to jot down some thoughts about situations where I've personally failed. I'm not going to tell you about some theoretical anti-pattern, or relate some broken thing I've fixed, I'm going to share things that caused me to leap from the deck of a burning boat to avoid drowning.

   Some of them, in retrospect, would be comical if it wasn't for the human misery, damaged careers, and money wasted on failed projects. Or worse, in my opinion, the opportunity cost of putting good people to work on things that never end up delighting the world. I weep for what might have been.

   Well, that certainly strikes home.

   His essay seems good throughout, though I have to finish reading.
