Back (!?)
Okay, it’s been a long time since my last post (though not as long as Marc Andreessen, who just posted yesterday after being silent since last August; and, yes, that may be the only time Marc and I are compared publicly).
I just returned from sabbatical (a marvelous benefit given by eBay after you’ve been with the company for 5 years), during which Melissa and I took a month-long trip to Iceland, London, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. In my experience, long vacations - at least two weeks - are pretty effective in helping reestablish “healthy life habits”. We’re eating better, keeping better hours, and staying more relaxed than we were for the last year or so.
In keeping with those trends, I’ve decided to try posting again - but, because I intend to do it in a relaxed and non-compulsive way, I offer no promises as to frequency or regularity. :)
I’ve compiled a few economics topics over the last few weeks that I’ll probably want to touch on briefly in the next few posts. Stay tuned…
