The Coming Second Life Business Cycle
Just look at the burgeoning economy of a really cool virtual world where the virtual “state” does nothing to intervene.
Exponential wealth accumulation – that’s what! The kind the founders envisioned, that had we stayed with a limited govt, we’d have been a nation of millionaires by now – probably many times over given the power of compound int

Satire: I-35 Bridge Collapses: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit
“The I-35 westbound bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed, sending rush hour traffic tumbling into the river below. Rescue crews rapidly descended on the location only to be blocked by the media and onlookers stumbling over one another to get the best pictures of the carnage to upload to YouTube.” My response: Writing something edgy to get lots of comments.

Pinch Hitter
Pinch Hitter is a well-done little game. You unlock new challenges by completing tasks—hit a home run; hit ten pitches in a row, etc. You choose a name, team and colors before playing (the game records your achievements so you can continue at the same level at a later time). There’s a pale yellow cursor that indicates where your bat meets the ball.
Warning: Typical baseball noises, which you can mute with a button at the bottom of the menu screen. Unfortunately there are some other sfx before you get to that screen, so turn down your speakers if that’s a problem.
