This shows the change in median income by state during the Bush presidency. [via CastraBlog, he got it from the Detroit Free Press, but his link doesn't work and I can't find the article]
In our last house, we had a neighbor who was pure evil. Since I am good at heart, more or less, I never gave him the rich thrashing he deserved (with the exception of calling the cops when he would destroy our property or peep in our windows). I did dream of having something like [...]
I used iBlog for so long because I wanted total control over my content, and I wanted to own the database. I was hesitant to give over my blog to a site like blogger or whatever, because my words are my own, ya know? Also, I wanted to be able to move my blog wherever [...]
Situation:Terminal » My Xbox Live HD Video Rental Nightmare I love posts like this (I’ve written several myself). It is one of the joys of our interconnected age that when companies give bad service, it is now our duty to tell the world. (Can you tell that I’m digging the “Press it!” button too much?)

Rough Type: Nicholas Carr’s Blog: Flattened by MySpace Nice article on the productization of myspace, but social computing in general
Once I figure out how to migrate content from iBlog into Word Press, I’ll begin moving the older content here. Until then, you can get to it at: http://www.unitcircle.com/blog/B1636488871/index.html
Friendly staff, ok atmosphere, out of the way location, but avoid it, avoid it, avoid it Amore is trying hard, it really is. They are new and they want to succeed in a location that several other places have failed in (the former location of Spice). However, they are cutting corners on the most important [...]
Microsoft’s media convergence strategy has been eluding me even as it has evolved. With the Zune imminent, the 360, and Windows Media Center PCs already here, I’ve found myself monumentally unimpressed with it all. Microsoft has the technologies, but not the integration. The individual technologies themselves are completely unappealing to me. However, this article from [...]
