I guess these guys deserve a little break too...

Pirates!

For a change of pace from all the fancy finance news, check out this Planet Money podcast on piracy (although you do have skip through some of the finance stuff first). They take a purely economic look at the pirate business. All it would take is one small shift in the model (more violence, armed cargo ships, higher insurance premiums) and the whole business falls apart - economically anyway.

Logos

So much for the frequent blogging... Shame on me. The last few days I've been giving some serious thought to stepping up my photography marketing. In fact, I've found a designer to come up with a logo for branding. The designer is actually an old high school friend that I reconnected with on Facebook. Yes Facebook does have some merit, but I still don't need to know what everyone is having for dinner.
