Fruit-flavored

so this is my first post from my mac.

got it today over lunch, and have been playing with it since the boys went down earlier this evening.

Information Markets

Speaking of Terrorist FuturesTM, I found an interesting article from the New Yorker that explores Information Markets. Very interesting stuff.

Decision markets also skirt the political and personal issues that so often clog the flow of information within organizations. Because people are rewarded only for being right, they have no incentive to hide information, pursue agendas, or go along with the crowd.

i can see that we’re all

doing something. or something. so i thought it tidy time to tell you all what i’ll be doing for the first 10 days of august.
we’re going to sturgis for the annual bike rally. we’ll be at a new campground this year. so i’m hoping all goes well.
just thought that possibly someone would care to know where i am when my gigantic amounts of posting prowess dissappears for a week. wait a minute, nobody will care. nevermind.
UPDATE!:
oh, and for those of you who don’t already know. michelle and i are due with our second child in january.
just so you know, if this is the first you’ve heard of it, i’m sorry, but i will not accept any comments or emails detailing how disappointed you are that we didn’t tell you first. or second or 31st. and that you had to read it on my silly little weblog post. well, too bad. you know now! be happy with us. come see us once in a while.

i know i am quite grossed out by this…

(if i was a boy i would be just as grossed out as by fly-boy’s story)

i did enjoy reading a quote from a north dakotan senator referring to this idea as “unbelievably stupid”…

Wait for it…
