Blogger's New "Easy" Template Tool

Google's Blogger has quite a ways to go yet before their so-called "easy to use" template tool is perfected. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to get it to duplicate the template I had before I upgraded and it crashed half a dozen times. Not what I would call easy. (But, let's cut'em some slack, after all it is free!)

Energy Profits

I got tired of the hype about "excess" oil company profits and decided to get the facts. It turns out that the oil and gas industry generally is near the middle of the pack of American industries earning about 8% on sales in the 3rd quarter of 2005 as compared to the average of about 6.5%, but far lower than, for example, the semiconductor industry which earned about 14% on sales in the same period, or pharma & banks which both earned more than 18% on sales.

Barry Schwartz - The Paradox of Choice

MediaPost Publications - Americans Get More Channels, Watch Fewer Of Them, Especially Broadcast - 03/13/2006 Ironically, Barry Schwartz spoke at PC Forum last night about the Paradox of Choice, and what did I wake up to this morning.

I'll have to ask Prof. Schwartz about that today.

50th Anniversary

Like most, we've had our ups and downs in fifty years, but on the whole have been blessed with good health, three fine sons and nine grandchildren. Looking forward to the next chapter.
