There is, understandably, a lot of discussion about the economy right now. Eric Janszen’s article in Harpers strikes me as one of the better articles I’ve read on the subject. I find it interesting that he thinks the money is shifting in to alternative energy. It makes sense as a hedge bet, but is so capital intensive I can’t imagine it holds up for long.

UPDATE: Looks like the feds have made their next move. Hold on to your seat belts tax payers! It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

I know I’m about to demonstrate how “not with it” I am, but I almost fell out of my chair when I received my daily spamdeal mail from techbargains.com this morning. It’s not quite newspapers + friendship bracelets, but clearly someone was taking the Richter Scales’ thinking and running with it.

Maybe I should get one for my mother-in-law….
