Joel Oleson:  http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2008/03/12/moving-on.aspx

Jeff Atwood: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001074.html

Scott Hanselman: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BlueBadge.aspx

Craig Shoemaker: http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/craigshoemaker/archive/2007/11/14/366194.aspx
