Reading an every-week-day-morning-must-read-blog Daniel Altman's (from IHT) Managing Globalization blog, came across a nice quote to be jot down here to long-live forever..
"The market for oil is one of the poorest-informed markets in the world. Sure, there are plenty of analysts, traders and spies trying to find out just how much is being produced and used in every corner of the world. But scarcity, the main force that drives all markets, is uncertain in the near future and ultimately unknown. It’s why people worry about conflicts in the Middle East, demand from China and India, sabotage in Nigeria and politics in Russia and Venezuela. And putting aside the vicissitudes of short-run supply and demand, may I remind everyone that we lack a geological map of the entirety of this planet’s insides?"
If you want to connect online, don't miss earthlink's $6.95 deal for the first 6 month. No commitment is necessary. On peak hours, the wireless speed is slow, but acceptable (no streaming videos, or music though)
Unfortunately, Verizon and Comcast internet services are still too expensive. If you don't bundle up, then $45 (inc. tax) is too high. There should be a more affordable way.
By the way, verizon FIOS is very expensive to install on those streets you see the thick black cable hanging out next too the other air cable, but they are committed to make money, so they ask for your commitment when you sign up for their services.
Today's post is a dramatic one. It has been a long time, and not much love has been given to this blog for a long time. Retail work environment is very demanding. It is both fun, and sometimes could be tiring as well. If any one of you work in retail, would you mind sharing your experience with us.
Counting down for the Black Friday. Illusion, perception, drama..
Here is one creative video clip. My equation for this video is desire and illusion mismatch!

7.45pm and it is 22 Degrees (in C, not F) outside, Is This October In Philly?
Today we share a couple of news briefly. Let's begin with some environmental action. ZDNet publishes an article about Colin Beavan, who is trying to live very environmental on a ninth floor of a Manhattan building. Image from NYTimes article, if you want to read the full story, you may click the image. Also, check out his blog called NoImpactMan. By the way, while I was linking to his blog, I thought what if there will be a new legislation that will be restricting this kind of linking between websites . It would be funny, huh? People excavating the web through guessing the links like this one:

or a more complicated one:

Nezt...or in proper english, Next...
In Philadelphia, "thousands of men pledge to patrol for peace." After hearing stories of killings in some parts of the city, this is a great initiative.
In NYC, you may want to be a cab driver, but you know what, they are not happy either, they recently went on strike for some reason, more on Businessweek.
China did it again. Now, people are accusing them "of rerouting search traffic to Baidu (China-based search engine)." Now, let's think how safe we are surfing on the internet.
I like this website, but do not have much time to explore it. It is definitely worth to take a look and then love it! My suggested reading is about teamwork posted in this awesome Bnet blog.
Global Heritage Fund has two nominations from Turkey for their 2008 preservation projects.
So far, that's it, I guess. For now, take care. keep warm or chill, I cannot tell, is the summer over yet?
