The legacy of Reagan economics ... next stop banana republic ...
The average middle-income American family had about $9,000 less after-tax income in 2007, and an average household in the top 1 percent had $741,000 more, than they would have had if the 1979 income distribution had remained. SOURCE. See Will Hutton’s talk and book titled Them and Us.

So I think I will do this ...
Maybe you have seen my Twitter-based micropublishing effort titled MailTip. Well, I have established an efficient workflow for it and started looking around for another similar possibility. Reading a review for some iPad apps the other day, I realized that I was reading them regularly, so why not post the best that I find? These apps can be pure delight in form and function. So here’s Apptwips at Twitter and at the blog where I place and index these for my future use. And yours. If you have an iPad or think about getting one (Do!), get my Twitter feed. Thanks!

So who needs a phone? ...
So what’s new about a text message? Well, this on arrives free to my iPod Touch and announces its arrival. Skype does not do this as yet. So when the other person isn’t available to chat with Skype, also free, I can schedule a call using textPlus, also free. I like free. Requires wifi, so this and a couple bucks will get you a cup of coffee and a call.
Cool use of the iPad ...
This might not be legal in copyright terms, but it’s something. Takes your Facebook and Twitter feeds and makes a magazine from them.

So I just realized where Barb is going paddling ...
Let's just say the video begins with a view of Lake Winona and ends with Hudson Bay showing up at the end.

Remembering Orvieto's cathedral ...
which explains what churches once were: places of unearthly beauty. These shots are good and better than mine. But I guess you have to be there. (Now that’s a good idea!)
Don't know if I care for this bug ... feature ...
Kindle books want to let you know when you have highlighted what everyone else does. Hmm.
Thinking about Etruscan places ...
Back in the last millenium, in college, a fan of Lawrence’s writing on Etruscans, I had a poster of the Etruscan piper.
From “Cypresses” by D.H. Lawrence:
The smile, the subtle Etruscan smile still lurking
Within the tombs,
Etruscan cypresses.
He laughs longest who laughs last;
Nay, Leonardo only bungled the pure Etruscan smile.
