Interesting video from Katie to help you visualize the almost inconceivable amount of money one trillion dollars really is. And, as the video states, the most amazing part about all of it is the fact it is only ONE TENTH of the current bailout. America, fuck yeah!

One Trillion Dollars?
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009Depressing Article of the Day: Monday
Monday, March 23rd, 2009Thanks to Andy to providing me with a depressing start to the week. I get Rolling Stone sent to me, no clue why or when it started arriving, but I never read it cause it has not once provided me with an interesting article worth the calories burned turning the magazine’s pages. Anyways, I obviously missed this article over the past week and continued on in my life, blissfully ignorant until my rude awaking via an email from Andy in my Gmail inbox this morning. Now I’m putting this out there since I had to read it and be more informed (more and more these days informed seems to equate to depressed). Anyways, Andy probably described it best:
“A long, depressing, complicated and brutally infuriating article that’s unfortunately worth the read. I’m better informed, but a part of me wishes I wasn’t.”

Update from the ‘States
Sunday, March 1st, 2009Thanks to Andy for keeping me in the loop:
“Pats sign Fred Taylor; trade Vrabel to KC for a draft pick.
Celts sign Mikki Moore and Marbury.
We’re all gonna lose our jobs and die penniless in the street.
You’re pretty much up to speed.”
Despite Recession; KJ Says No ‘Coons
Wednesday, January 14th, 2009Kristen: a poor decision for you: eating a racoon because you are poor and we are in a recession
“In five minutes, Montrose, Mo., trapper Larry Brownsberger is sold out in the lot at 39th Street and Kensington Avenue. Word has gotten around about how clean his frozen raccoon carcasses are. How nicely they’re tucked up in their brown butcher paper. How they almost look like a trussed turkey … or something.”
……..
“‘During grad school, my roommate and I ate 32 coons one winter. It was all free, and it was really good. If you think about being green and eating organically, raccoon meat is the ultimate organic food,” with no steroids, no antibiotics, no growth hormones.’”
A Day in the Life:
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008A lot of people wonder what I’ve been spending my days doing since Matchmine had its doors forcefully closed…
Just kidding unfortunately, as that does look pretty sweet, most of my time has been spent interviewing at places I’m not really interested in (save for one or two) and working on my company’s website / trying to find a third person for our partnership to shoulder some of the development load. And no, this is not my company’s website.
