* For fun, I created a podcast. I don't know how often I'll do this, but you can subscribe to the feed. I put the link on the right side of the page, so you can add it to iPodder or whatever client you use. I created the file with the free Audacity tool. I'm using a free storage site, so while I did upload it, there seems to be a delay. Link will be provided whenever it's up. And iPodder will automatically grab it of course.

* While were criticizing Iraq for not reaching an agreement on their constitution at the deadline, when was the last time you remember the US federal government or the state of California having a budget by the deadline? Just a thought.

* What are you doing to combat higher energy costs? Is it affecting you?
