The aquarium photos
I finally got around to pulling the aquarium photos off of the camera, and I’m quite impressed with many of them. It wasn’t possible to use the flash, but some of them turned out quite nicely. I decided not to use Flickr for this, but rather to put them in their own gallery.

China
Tyler Cowen shares my concerns about China, namely that they can’t take a punch, or in this case, an economic downturn.
If you are not convinced, raise your right hand and repeat after me: “China in the 20th century had two major revolutions, a civil war, a World War, The Great Leap Forward [sic], mass starvation, the Cultural Revolution, arguably the most tyrannical dictator ever and he didn’t even brush his teeth, and now they will go from rags to riches without even a business cycle burp.”
It’s worth reading the whole thing.

I’m in danger of receiving my first payment check from Google Adsense for the ads on Jargon Database. I’ve almost cracked the 110,000 page view barrier as well.
