Yes folks, economics does work out.  Exports Help Economy to Modest Growth, from the NYT.

I just find it hilarious that people fail to understand that a falling dollar makes our exports more attractive.  That of course helps close our insanely-high trade defecit and guess what, helps the economy.

It’s just like China… except without the artificial undervaluing… and less widespread human rights abuses (hopefully).

So, I just watched Secretary (on the prompting of f13) and… I really don’t know what to think.  Well, outside of realizing that “Yes folks, James Spader can get more creepy.”

I liked it quite a bit though, I must say.

Just upgraded to WP 2.5 today (which is like two weeks late, heh).  You also may have noticed the new theme.  I was looking though WowAceUpdater for a couple mod modules and stumbled upon a mod called ClassButtons and found the author’s page and wanted the theme (and header) ASAP.

I still need to find a way to hack up the bottom to not look retarded (my links sort of break the format), but that’s a decent enough project to undertake.

Enjoy the new shiny.

Whenever we arrive at some impasse in a campaign, Sean (our campus’ organizer) will say, “Well, we can quit, or we can work really hard to get this thing done.”  Of course, because I feel whatever we may be working on is important, I’ll go with the later.

When it’s something personal though, I ask myself the same sort of question (I’m lame like that)… and usually arrive at the former.

Peer pressure’s a bitch, ain’t it?

(While I’d love to end which such a concise phrase, I really don’t mean anything negative by that statement.  Just… I sorta do some (very) crude utilitarian analysis and personal stuff usually comes up short.  Well, that’s not entirely true either, since I can sit and play EVE all day and that doesn’t benefit anyone, but it also doesn’t require much work.  So it’s not strict utilitarianism relative to absolute actions, but more towards unit effort.

I guess…

Yeah, that’s some crude intellectual masturbation there.  This is why I don’t post to this thing much, Twitter‘s 140 characters keeps me from the above quite well.)
