Umpiring Quality
Great article on testing by James Rodriguez that I just came across, you can learn a lot in Little League!

This reminds me of a funny thing that happened last year. At the start of baseball season they have parents come together and help prep the neighborhood field. There were about 100 people all out there en masse doing grunt work with shovels and wheelbarrows. I was covered in mud trying to fix a drainage problem near the batting cages. Anyway, a guy comes through asking if there was anybody with carpentry expertise. Silence. Not that there was a shortage of folks ready for some other task. Suddenly another guy pipes up "need any software engineers?" to break the tension and a big knowing laugh went down the line. :)
