I like the idea – just reading the headlines, they look like things I’d be interested in reading. And that map – wow, do I feel dumb – I had no idea the population un-density was so much in the midwest. (Terrible grammar there, sorry – I must need more coffee!) But I found that very interesting.

So as just a once a week thing, or a once in a while thing – I think this is a good idea.

I found the US population map quite interesting. It almost appears as if there is a vertical line that says if you live west of here you need to be in a big city which may be related to agriculture conditions. It also made me look into the US population density which turns out to be about 80 per square mile but many of us live in areas where it’s over 4900 per square mile like my little suburban city. We’re not over populated, we’re just not spread out enough.

John, I was just thinking of something similar, something along the lines of a “link dump” :) I like the idea a lot. I still like to break out some blogging thoughts, but on those busy weeks, it’s a good way to remind folks that the blog is still alive!

BTW, love the email updates.. I normally check in during the morning, but when it’s in the email, it makes things much easier..

Papers, Please! Arrested at Circuit City

Great story, I will keep reading up on that to see what the final outcome will be.

In the Philippines it is normal in supermarkets and stuff that they check everything in your cart vs the receipt when you leave. But when you shop like me once a month and push out 3-4 carts, then that process takes time.

I hate being treated like a criminal just because I choose to spend my money in their store and it frustrates me enormously…

Maybe another post on Stuff that Piss me Off is in order :-)

Kim:)

Thanks for the links John, I’ll check them out when I get time. :)

I like the idea John, links to interesting articles. Cool idea !!!
