A quick post about the subprime mortgage meltdown

Here’s an awesome post at Good Math, Bad Math about some of the thinking in the banking business that led to the growth of subprime loans, the housing boom, and the current housing bust.

Baby, it’s cooold outside!

Right now, it’s a balmy -10F.  It’s 30 degrees warmer "back home".

The dotter has lost a second tooth and I again successfully performed the Tooth Fairy Move.

I have a new computer, a Christmas gift to myself; spent many hours today configuring and re-configuring my network router and home network (entailing schlepping laptop and new computer up and downstairs a few times between office and dining area, where the router is located), finally figured out that the reason my new speakers weren’t working was because they weren’t plugged in (duh!), and am dealing with Vista.  And a clacky keyboard.  The office is full of boxes.

The tree is trimmed.  Pics to come (assuming my camera plays nicely with the new computer).

Damn, it’s cold!

More tomorrow…
