Offline for a week…

I’ve been offline for a week, due to various personal issues. Still sorting through the 1300 messages left after I deleted the spam (down to 1000 at this point). Lots of work to do, so they might have to wait a bit.

Quoted in San Francisco Chronicle article on The Enron Tapes

[Here’s the article, with pictures. The second quote really needs some context… I was speaking, in general, about the fact that these folks really truly believed in Enron, the company, as a power for good in the Universe. They believed they were on the side of God, mom and apple pie, and that Enron’s role […]

Archival postings on The Enron Tapes now easily available.

I’ve created a section under my personal web site (with the very capable assistance of Godmoma, my wife and in-house web designer) to make the various postings related to The Enron Tapes that I’ve made on this blog more easily accessible. I encourage folks to link back to this site, and of course to Seeing […]

Wherein your author takes on a professional economist re: the manufacturing vs. service sector jobs debate.

research firm.
During the past three years, however, only 264 companies went
public, and the average deal was close to $300 million.
