[Crosspost from Managed World] I was reading an article (blog post, really) from Jim Shore today that got me thinking. In the past, I've kind of boughten into the whole idea of "building the foundation first". Because of this, I wasn't really agreeing with him on all points in this article. However, there is a certain quote at the end of the article that not only got me on board, but served as a swift metaphorical kick up the side of my noggin' (Thanks Jim :D).

[Crosspost from Managed World] Well, it finally happened. After much noise and dismay for several months, the DVD drive in my XBox finally gave way. Luckily I had an extra XBox downstairs so I was able to transplant the working DVD drive into my main XBox.
