RethinkDB challenge: find a bug, get a job

http://www.rethinkdb.com/blog/challenge/

It's a trick: This Database _IS_ the bug.

XXX days since the last workplace accident.

I'm quite certain now that I need one of these but for new "Databases".

Why people? Why are you all wasting your precious life building these things?

Philips Hue

I bought a Philips Hue, and I love it.
I ordered the day it went on sale in the Apple store, and 10 days later I tried to order more bulbs to replace most of the lights in the house.

Unfortunately Apple is all sold out, and they are back ordered 1-2 months.

Lets all just meditate on that for a minute. $60 light bulbs that no one had ever heard of before are sold out 10 days after going on sale.

Amtrak Business class

I have to give it to Amtrak. Business class is really nice. A very civilized way to travel.
