I'm in San Jose CA for the next month on a project.

johnrobb @Changeist That type of thing is on the table in the some of the darker scenarios (mostly to keep 5-10% homeless).
johnrobb @deichmans This is on top of deep declines already. Can't see how they can raise needed capital in this environment -> bailout.
johnrobb Holy crap. http://tinyurl.com/5m4l7n The US mortgage industry has collapsed today. Taxpayer bailout now a necessity.
johnrobb "We Killed the Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs." The decline of the US middle class. http://tinyurl.com/66rot6
johnrobb Looks like Indymac is going to close up shop this afternoon.
johnrobb Lehman looks like a dead man walking. Many more to come.
johnrobb Wow, this financial crisis continues to pick up steam. Parasitic hijacking of the knot -- the critical process -- of the global bow tie.
johnrobb @robpatrob Headed towards a virtual holiday?
johnrobb @selil The death of science? It's working out great in the financial industry right now.
johnrobb @robpatrob No, TP is periodically crashing.
johnrobb @shloky Exactly. My T's are just about to ripen.
johnrobb @cascio Exactly. It's always good to hear people say, "my head hurts, in a good way..."
johnrobb @selil Ah, that's different. Sounds like you had a strong hand in spending the money on specific upgrades.
johnrobb Lehman is in total spin mode right now. Testing the gullibility of the street.
johnrobb @selil Wow, that's a lot of money. Should have cost only a couple of hundred grand, at most.
johnrobb @selil Nice post on the glidepath towards virtual ed.
johnrobb @selil Not much. Big push towards telecommuting and virtual schools over the next decade. Order of magnitude cost reduction.
johnrobb @fester986 Thanks much. He held off on girls/parties to complete Eagle and go to nationals with Academic Decath. Big price, but worth it.
johnrobb @zenpundit They do have enough for a small strike. Might be all that is needed.
