Back to school
Back-to-school links:
- (First things first:) U.S. gov't lifts 1912 absinthe ban. (1), (2), (3).
- “eBay-style” lending/borrowing: Prosper, LendingClub.
- Check the electrical consumption of your devices with the Kill-a-Watt monitor.
- Manage finances between housemates/friends, free: Buxfer.
Cool, but not back-to-school-related:
- Bill Gates' Last Day at Microsoft (video)
- Ron Paul got twice as many votes (10%) as Rudy Giuliani (4%) in Iowa. (And he wasn't far behind McCain and Thompson, with 13% each.)
- Designing for flow.

Despite my personal bias, I think that Star Trib absinthe story came off real sharp.
I think something like Buxfer was described in the WSJ last year.
"Flow" reminds me of time distortion hypnosis, and this series at the BBC on "extra senses" seems like a group activity for the semester.
