I’m moving the site to new software over the next couple days, so please pardon me if the feed temporarily disappears. The move should be seamless, but one never knows. Also, the new feed is currently going to be only in RSS format (rather than Atom or other formats). If you’d prefer something else, please let me know and I’ll get a conversion working. RSS seems to be the main format these days, but I want to oblige. I’m excited about the new software, but I’ll explain more on the other side.

“The island upon which New York stands was bought from the Indians for the value of twenty-four dollars by Peter Minuits in 1626. Yet, if the purchaser had put his twenty-four dollars at interest, where he could have added it to the principal at the rate of seven per cent., the accumulation would now exceed the total value of the entire city and county of New York.”

They call you Packrat, but who’re they sending to wake the Princess? Not only has the faraway Prince failed to deliver, but it’s just come out that a hefty royal loan has had twenty years to accrue in default, and the repo giants are on their way.
