no longer true but still funny. via talking points memo:

Across the street from our office, some people have just taped a big paper sign on their balcony that reads "@cliffbot: twitter is down"

5-year-old boy plays "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash

I had to cut off the game of "chase the laser" despite having a juvenile dog, juvenile cat and two kitties in a very entertaining game. The little dog is beyond OCD, he's totally chasing the dragon. He gets this expression with his tongue sticking out just a bit, his eyes all wide, and a shallow little fight-or-flight pant. Little dude gots it bad.

anyone know a website (ideally free but not necc) where one can stream live video from webcam that has a simple design, no ads? or maybe this is a custom job. i am helping some young artists with a project where they drive around for eight hours and webcast themselves over Portland's WiMAX system

Maybe I should make an economic page so I don't clutter up this one? In any case, I think this article from Bloomberg last year is an important history lesson: Bond Vigilantes Who Gave Bush a Pass May Ambush Obama or McCain.

"You mean to tell me that the success of the economic program and my re-election hinges on the Federal Reserve and a bunch of fucking bond traders?'' Clinton raged at aides....
Yes Mr. President, yes it does.

To come back to the present week: Auction Results: Less Than Festive. I know the equity markets are way up, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and the S&P all threatening to break through important resistance levels - but it just can't last. Eventually I'll be right! :-)

Jim I dont know where our just for fun exchange is where I said AAPL $150 by June, well I was a month off:>)......I found this one from a year ago

Damn, Apple (aapl) is getting hammered after hours (down 11.2% to $147.98 right now.) They reported earnings today. Looked good to me, but I guess Wall St. didn't like their guidance for next quarter. If I believed in the market at all and had extra cash I would be buying in the morning.

$200 buy 2009, $300 by 2011
- Skinny 7-22-2008 9:40 am [edit]

I don't know about $300 - that would be an insane market cap. But I could imagine $200 in 2009 no problem (assuming the market doesn't collapse as a whole, and that Steve Jobs stays healthy - some pretty big assumptions.) I see Notebook and iPhone(/iPod) market share driving the increase. $152.31 right now.

Steve just has to be careful not to fuck up.
- mark 7-22-2008 11:17 am

Ouch. I don't see it happening to aapl though, unless it's just following the whole market down.

Apple doesn't have a juggernaut of a competitor like Intel, and their hit products (iPods/iPhone) aren't just crap they got lucky with (Razr.)
Standard disclaimer applies: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Closed at $162. Should have jumped.

Light introductory NYTimes article on the fascinating subject of high frequency trading. It's not mentioned in the article but I've read that ~70% of all trades in equity markets are made by these computer programs. There is a real worry about the stability of markets given this situation. And the story of Goldman possibly front running the market is very interesting.

proof positive that humans are masochistic - squeaky chew toys for dogs. theres got to be more humane (for humans) ways of keeping them entertained that dont inspire thoughts of caninicide in those within drooling distance.

Jason Kottke has a great collection of youtube vids about "what fast looks like". I've posted a couple before - these are pretty fun.
