My household employment numbers recently went from 50% to 100% (I took a job) so there may be a drop off in content during the week, particularly once it gets warm out and I start installing skylights and gardening. However, I am resolved to keep this website going, if for no other reason than it [...]
The only real player left in the economy is the US government. Rich people have dumped their equity and commodity positions and followed the herd move into US treasuries. They are doing this and will continue to do so for a while because that way the government can take all of the losses while all [...]
I am writing this and I don’t have any media on. I wanted to get this out before I let any of today in (since most of these stories are backed up from the weekend or earlier). I expect huge losses to begin rolling in now that O is seated. Maybe give it a few [...]
I like NPR. If I am in the car, and the radio is on it will probably be on NPR – as long as they aren’t playing classical music. This morning, the otherwise competent staff at Morning Edition had the following two stories in succession:
1. The Afghani EPA’s struggle with air quality in Kabul

My Dad passed along a link to Certified Energy Consultants, which looks like a tame enough website. He thought they might have the kind of green collar job I am looking for so I checked it out. As far as I can tell, they only sell something called a power factor correction device which I [...]
I was listening to Sean Hannity talk about the Gaza invasion today and something occurred to me. Most Americans (and particularly liberals) neglect to realize the deep-seeded hatred on both sides of the conflict.

The lack of regurgitation has a direct relationship with the lack of news consumption going on with me these days. I am out of work and in a new place which you should allow plenty of time for reading and looking for doom. Quite to the contrary, my life seems fuller than ever with distraction. [...]

Electric cars racing, Californians and Hawaiians making a Better Place and my neighbor buying $200 in lingerie for his girlfriend. Maybe things are not so bad after all…
Gotcha! I think this stuff is cool, but I also think that is a bad sign. I am weird. I do not think like the average American [...]
Life goes on. I am stuck in my head trying to write something coherent about oil prices. I have found some interesting information, but there are so many inputs and generally speaking I think that peak oil theorists got the oil price predictions wrong. On TOD they had polls earlier in the year about when [...]
I am getting so lazy with this. No funny pictures, no nothing. I get the feeling lately that I am right on the verge of making sense of something. Do you know what I mean, just this elusive but close feeling that you almost can get your mind around something. Just out of reach, but [...]
