Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...

At a sushi bar in Denver last week, I met a lady who worked for one of the biggest online airline reservation lookup sites. The sites name rhymes with “borbitz”. Her job, for the past five years or so, is to develop an algorhithm that can succesfully predict ongoing trends in air travel purchases for the purpose of gaining an intelligent system of balancing price and availability.
- ricos3plus3 | 02/22/2010 @ 14:17After about ten minutes of thinking about it (and her trying to explain it) i realized how absolutely impossible this task is. Just the randomness of “vacations” alone boggles my mind. How do you predict that??! People all over the world at random times choosing a place to vacation, often in a totally different place than last year.
From now on when i hear the term”Central Planning” i will think of that nice woman.
It is folly to believe that any one man or woman is capable of “predicting” or “steering” the movements of free markets. The very act of attempting to “steer” the market robs it of the whatever freedom was there in the first place.
