But there's a reason the song isn't called "All You Need is a Job."

Video Of The Day: Comcast TiVo DVR - I'm hoping that TiVo as software becomes prominent in 2008, and that Comcast here in DC will start to offer the TiVo guide for their boxes.

It's a great middle ground for me and the wife — she likes the Comcast experience and I like the TiVo interface. This rollout looks like it could suit both of us.

Have Your Baby Before New Year's Day, Save Thousands - An interesting look at why December 28th is the "most popular birth date of the year."

How to deal with getting fired (from Yahoo)

Wow. If there's any columnist out there today who doesn't deserve to be fired, it's Penelope Trunk.

But she's been canned from Yahoo! Finance, according to her blog, because her career-oriented columns lower the overall CPM of the finance-related articles on Yahoo.

While this is a legitimate excuse, it's not like there isn't money to be made in career advice advertising. People will pay for material if they know that they'll be getting something valuable in return. Penelope's columns deliver that.

Even though she's written her last column for Yahoo, at least she gets to go out with a promo for her blog and RSS feed.
