You can submit and vote on questions about the economy to President Obama. This is a continuation of his use of the internet from his campaign – what some call Obama 2.0
It might be interesting, or rather typical the questions that become most popular. After a quick glance at what is topping the charts so to speak in the 8 or so categories, are two themes… “What about me the responsible mortgage holder?”, and “What about legalizing Marijuana?”
I wonder if there have been some manipulation of votes, and I hope it makes enough sense to keep doing these. It is after all more appropriate to our times than fireside chats over radio.

You need to become a “member”. Basically sign up.
Read the first few pages, they divide people into these broad categories:
The Wealthy (Ws), the Financially Comfortable (FCs), the Paycheck to Paycheckers (PTPs), and the Further-in- debtors (FIDs). The first two have some different mindsets and skills, and the premise is that they can be learned.
Happy reading.
With all the hype about credit scores, it can be intimidating to actually go to one of those sites and put in your personal information. Some sites tout free reports then they try to sell you something. Here’s a place to answer a few questions and get a free estimate. No personal info taken.
There are three companies that report FICO scores and they can have a range of 50 points difference between them. It took about 5 minutes for me to answer the multiple choice questions and the estimate was spot on for me.
This seems so simultaneously a great idea and an absurd by product of the times we live in. Take a piece of paper, wrap it around your remotes, and make cutouts for those few buttons on those remotes for your guests to use. It will keep them from nagging you about how to use your home theater setup. Mark up any special instructions right on the paper.
This excels in putting information literally at your users fingertips, and focuses them at the precise time they need to use this information. It is like the ideal software designers user interface… its like a great waiter or butler, there lurking about but only visible when you need them- and they probably know what you want.
As a social convention, it reminds me of the post 9/11 period when all the news channels started the streaming ‘bug’ at the bottom of the screen, constantly parading the news across there. Some viewers wanted that constant drip of information, others’ blood pressure raised unnecessarily, still others advocated sticking paper across the bottoms of their TVs to block out that drivel.
Do we live in a society that has amassed too much information, and we as junkies can’t wean ourselves off it? Do we not know that there is an off switch? Are we really no better off simply because we do have too much information?
As usual the answer is not simple. But we can easily adapt to improve our lives. It can take more thought, a chance for us that welcome the challenge of using our noggins. Otherwise, we will have to depend on others to wrap paper around our free will, and let us know what our choices are. I’d rather design my own necessary blinders, thank you.
I’ve only spent a few minutes at this site but it seems to have ranges of rents for different areas, with color coded listings by cost. Let me know if you find an apartment using this site.
