The television network has killed the best show on television, Eli Stone. Please sign the petition to save it.
Check out A Visual Guide to the Financial Crisis. Do you understand all the connections?
Staying on that theme, check out this video (long). It’s a cross between Mulder and… I’ll go with “Dragon’s Lair.” But there’s some scary stuff in there about the growth of the money supply. Almost everyone has something to learn from this.
Some of you have been wondering when I’m going to drop some science again. Here we go: this year’s Nobel Prize winner in Economics, Paul Krugman, wrote a paper in 1978 entitled The Theory of Interstellar Trade. The abstract says it all:
This paper extends interplanetary trade theory to an interstellar setting. It is chiefly concerned with the following question: how should interest rates on goods in transit be computed when the goods travel at close to the speed of light? This is a problem because the time taken in transit will appear less to an observer traveling with the goods than to a stationary observer. A solution is derived from economic theory, and two useless but true theorems are proved.
The best part of this abstract is the assumption that there’s a body of economic work surrounding interplanetary trade that needs to be extended.
Those of you who follow me on Twitter may know that I’m not a fan of the Toyota “Saved By Zero” commercials. (Full disclosure: I drive a Toyota Corolla.) Now there’s proof: these commercials can kill.

I’ve emailed a good friend that works at Toyota to get something done about these commercials. And did you just like Eli Stone because of Katie Holmes? Don’t lie…
