My mother always told me that people could tell a lot about me by looking at
the company I keep.
(Of course she'd communicate this to me by reciting ancient Greek
idiom about this very topic; and always within the context of some
(sometimes not so) veiled view on the company I happened to be keeping at any given point in time.)
Well let me tell you, people, I've got a Facebook friend that even my
mother would be proud to have.

Duke.
That's right. Duke and I are BFFs on Facebook. Claim to fame: he's
written on my wall.
And because I am a regular reader of Duke's blog, I found out about
something that might interest all you student-types who are currently
locking horns with mom in that age-old "I don't like your friends"
refrain.
There's a new student contest where participating students can earn up
to $500 by developing a web application using MySQL and GlassFish,
creating a java.net project of their application and writing a review
of these products.
It might not help your mom come around as far as your friends go.
But it could put $500 in your pocket.
:-)
