• Young Son sent me a link to an on-line comic, Looking for Group. It’s good. In fact, it’s very good.

• Rogue Amoeba produces some fine Macintosh software. They also offer some cool freebies of which Soundsource is very good.

• The Journal of Irreproducible Results is quite good, especially for science (scientist) types.

• The Case-Shiller Index tracks housing prices. I heard a podcast in which the theme was bottomfishers looking for good buys in the housing market. We’ve been holding off the big push for a house, in part because I do not want to buy in a declining market. I reviewed the data for Las Vegas and they’ve seen about a 25% decline there. I’m wondering what it is up here in northern Nevada.

• ET Geowizards is an excellent set of tools for GIS work.
