04.29.08Moving and throwing awayAbout two weeks ago my son, wife and myself moved into our new house. As everyone who is familiar with moving knows, the "how-to" move and getting "rid of stuff" is a very important process.

The recent proof of this is this entry in this blog. It is a side by side interview with Simon Horwith and Hal Helms. Kind of reminds me on the OS war between MacOS and Windows :-) My own opinion lends toward of the gentleman's interview on the right side in the above blog.
