Chris, my blogger friend out in Austin, TX, has been doing a photo a day project, or Khowaga’s 365 Project. This is his 50th photo, a milestone in a yearlong project. It’s a great portfolio so far and it’s not too hard to get through at 50.* No doubt more fantastic photos will be shot and posted. Bookmark and stay posted.

If there’s anything to learn from this recession is that nothing is permanent. Way before our economy tanked to where it is now, corporations adopted the layoff as a quick road to profits during the Clinton years. Downsizing, reducing redundancies, etc – it became the popular way for companies to slim down their expensive American workforce and seek cheaper labor abroad. Even when times appeared to be prosperous, such as the late Clinton years or the middle Bush years, the stable job was not as easily obtainable as it once was.
