http://byrneseyeview.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 21, 2006. We Meander and Really, Why Not? When I noted that I really didn't think government was necessary for, well, anything. Byrne, you can't name a single example of that working in practice.". Well, first of all, there's Somalia. So, you're saying it's right, even though it only works in Somalia.". Yes Somalia and everywhere. That's all.". Besides charity and altruism, is there any difference at all. Posted by Byrne Hobart @ 6:25 AM. Brooklyn, New York, United States. Thursday, June 23.

Sunday, June 26, 2005. Update (Only five days behind! On Tuesday, we staggered into a routine: Wake up, discover that coffee has miraculously appeared I'm still not sure how, since the only people who drink it are the ones who sleep in and have some cereal and toast for breakfast. It's not particularly Irish (no Bailey's, after all), but good. And then, work. 9:00 Be at work, in theory. 9:30 Be at work, officially. 10:00 Okay, now are you working? 11:30 Tea time is officially over. 4:30 Clean up the site.

Wednesday, September 27, 2006. There's nothing sillier than trusting unsourced information from entirely anonymous Internet sources, but I can't help but mention the "Enron/ AEP. Bittorrent users can get the complete collection here. Is minimal, so any sudden action should definitely show up. Granted, a few low-fi recordings of someone who could easily be an actor shouldn't be worth more than a percentage point or two of lost value. But. Posted by Byrne Hobart @ 9:40 PM.

Byrne's Eye View: October 2005
http://byrneseyeview.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2005. Melancholy Thoughts at 4 AM in IHOP. A note before I start: A while ago, I said I was posting the edited gist of letters to my girlfriend. We've since broken up, but old habits die hard, so now you're reading a letter to my ex. What are friends for if not to enable us to indulge in our weirder bad habits? But I did okay, and the bread was really good. Turns out she's a staunch Catholic. I noted that I was really, really sorry, hoping that as a Catholic she's been trained to ...

Intangible Wealth: July 2005
http://intangiblewealth.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
A random walk through the markets and the economy. Thursday, July 21, 2005. Dumb headline of the day. Well, it's actually from yesterdary, but never mind. As seen on FT.com: " Wall Street bounces back after GM disappointment. It takes a brave (or foolhardy) soul to forsake a cushy Wall Street post to join GM. Wild conspiracy theory: he knows the current management team will probably be run out of town sooner rather than later by Kerkorian and could emerge as a credible candidate for a top job.

Byrne's Eye View: When a price hike is more than a price hike
http://byrneseyeview.blogspot.com/2006/10/when-price-hike-is-more-than-price.html
Saturday, October 28, 2006. When a price hike is more than a price hike. I hope I never have to file this under the 'could be worse' category, but fares for Zimbabwe's national airline are up 500%. They cite the usual excuses: Official inflation at 1000% per year, unofficial inflation at 4000% per year, but a better answer might be 'cluelessness'. Not, of course, that Zimbabwe in particular happens to be clueless: It's just generally true that some commodities are really. Posted by Byrne Hobart @ 11:27 AM.
