New Year Resolution
The New Year typically brings forth the idea of New Year resolutions. Out with the old, in with the new. Resolutions about our weight, work practices, and the like.

Clif Notes: Do MultiValue Better? How?
Well surprise, surprise. I bet long-time readers never expected to see this column, let alone the current lead article of the magazine, be about New Year's resolutions. If you look back in the last two to three years of January-February issues at Clif notes, you will see that I have a habit of poking fun at the idea.
