Hulu Continues Its Takeover Of My Life

When Hulu was first announced, I was hugely critical of the hybrid startup/corporate mashup created by Universal and NBC but I was quickly proven wrong by its great interface and huge library of TV Shows.  The site has done an amazing job of providing great, fresh content [...]

Harvard Economics professor Greg Mankiw announced today that his publisher has put together a “blog map” which outlines relevant content on his blog and maps it to parts of his widely-used Economics textbooks.  As far as I know, this is one of the first effective instances of [...]

Oh the places you’ll go…

As 2008 winds down, I noticed a few other people posting their year-in-review travel recaps and thought it was a rather nice idea.  Most of these are also listed over on Dopplr, a great web app for tracking your travel schedule and comparing it to friends who [...]
