I’m Reading…Not that it would be so terrible, given that Paul Krugman is clearly a fairly brilliant economist. But over the past few years, as he has become more and more of a shrill political voice, and less and less of a measured economic voice, I’ve found myself disagreeing with him more often than not.

It’s the end of the year, and this is generally the time when journalists will put out sensationalist headlines about their predictions for the upcoming year, decade, millennium, etc.
Well, I’m not a journalist. But I do have a blog. So let me indulge here in at least one crazy projection that might actually make strategic [...]

Today, the White House announced that it has signed into law H.R. 2764, with $555 Billion in total spending, and which includes over $10 Billion in earmarks. That part is not really good news. You can read the text of the bill, if you want to, here.
However, as Coinnews.net reported today, the [...]

After running this blog for almost 18 months, I’m realizing that it’s confusing for people to have to remember a URL like “psychohistory.wordpress.com” to find this blog. It’s my personal blog, and people expect to find it by typing “adamnash.com” into their browsers.
I haven’t decided to 86 adamnash.com yet, but as of today, this blog [...]

How can you not get lost in Wikipedia sometimes?
Here is their post on my favorite author, Isaac Asimov.
I’m still waiting for the conversion to the World Season Calendar, with its 91-day months and its special “Year Day” and “Leap Day”.

I’m getting a little tired of this.
Is it just me, or is the failure rate of new series going up? I’m not sure, but I’m getting a little tired of investing hours into a new series, only to find out that it’s cut off before it really gets somewhere. Maybe I should bag the whole [...]

Valleywag: LinkedIn Done Briefing Reports, Announces Developer Platform
I think it’s somewhat of an honor to be picked on by ValleyWag.
I will admit, I shouldn’t have been sitting hunched over for that shot… we did it last minute.
Oh well. The price of YouTube fame, I guess.

Sorry, I don’t know how I missed this news for two days.
Activision, maker of the hit series Guitar Hero, is merging with Vivendi Universal Games, which owns Blizzard, maker of World of Warcraft. Blizzard, as I’ve posted here previously, is in my opinion the best video game studio of the past decade, bar none.
According to [...]

OK, so as I poke around the creators of the very funny Bubble 2.0 video I posted last night, I discovered a couple of things:
1) They seem to be a group of former Stanford Fleet Street a cappella singers (thank you, Rebecca, for this tidbit. It explains Jerry Cain appearing in the previous video).
2) There [...]

Hits a little too close to home… especially on the housing prices in the Bay Area.

This article was funny enough that I had to share.
Engadget: Michael Bay’s format war conspiracy theory: it’s a Microsoft fix
Here is a tidbit:
Responding to a commenter angry over Paramount’s decision to burn Optimus and friends onto HD DVD only, Bay claims to have the inside track on the “corporate politics” at play here, suggesting [...]

Just a quick update here. It turns out that the woman who originally posted to Craigslist looking for tips on how to land a man making $500K+ per year actually responded. I found the article on Best of Craigslist.
Since that post continues to be one of the favorites on this blog, I decided to add [...]
