demographics

NPR's blog alerted me to this interesting feature, tells you what the demographics of the consumer of a product and even readership of a website.

They have me pegged a bit wrong for my car, a Toyota Echo, right on the female, wrong on the 35-49 age group.

Now if you read my blog you are most likely male and younger than 18 years old, true???? Apparently I'm not familiar with all my readers.

the muslim invasion

Because its a hot-topic, I found The Economist wrote some pretty thoughtful articles on it:

Tales from Eurabia & Look Out Europe They Say

Even today in conferences sponsored by academics and practitioners I find people saying some pretty awful, unknowledgable things about Islam and its interactions with the West. If you don't already know, I'm pretty opposed to Huntingon's Clash of Civilizations, only because Islam, Christianity, and Judaism really come from the same civilization; which kills his entire argument. But here I am trying not to get carried away by an issue too close to my studies, my work, and my heart on a blog where I made a promise to show how it is not consuming my life. I am interested in your thoughts though.

pearl jam

I should've could've but didn't post on the awesome experience of finally living to see my biggest adolescent wish, and that is a pearl jam concert. Once I was thwarted and too ill and 120 miles away from said concert, but this time, I strolled to Chinatown, had a drink and some lamb lollipops at Indebleu before walking across the street to see my ultimate high school crush (the size of a sideways paperclip no less from our nosebleed seats), Eddie Vedder. Wow. The voice is still as velvet as ever, and his charisma and charm still managed to radiate across 10 times the number of the alphabet in Verizon center seating to make me fall in love all over again.

DCist did a pretty good review.
