Must... Fight... Back!

Okay everyone, we all remember when that poor sod in England got sacked for blogging about his employer... Here's more food for the fire. I found the following article, actually, the link was sent to me in an instant message.

My question is: WHAT do all of you think about this? Do you think it is fair? Do you think employers should have the power to do this? Should the First Amendment protect all speech? Where is the line to be drawn? Are we going to have to draw up more detailed contracts with our employers so we know where the boundaries are? Will we have to have our real persona blog and an anonymous blog? AAARRRRGGGHHH! If you set complaining blog entries to "friends only" is this supposed employer going to be able to access our musings? What silliness.

Have a blog, lose your job?
Workers with Web logs are everywhere, and they're starting to make corporate America very nervous.

This is where I got my data:

Anything You Can Do Somerville Can Do Cuter.

The Gates fever has travelled well beyond Central Park since their official opening February 12th. Plenty of Bostonians are heading south to see them over the long weekend. One Somerville residence, however, has taken matters into its own hands. The Somerville Gates website shows how several rooms have been infested with mini gates crafted by "Hargo". The 3.5 inches orange replicas seemed to be well-received by the owner's adorable cat. The site also gives a handy guide to the differences between Christo's and Hargo's Gates, including a price comparison- $29 million vs. $3.50.
