The very large jar that you see in the picture was a solution waiting for a problem. Actually, it spent a week or two as a problem. It seems that a lot of useful looking manufactured goods these days are modeled on good old fashioned design but they […]

“On April 20th Pepsi will start selling versions of Pepsi and Mountain Dew that use real sugar, rather than nasty high fructose corn syrup. The drinks will only be available until June.” If we didn’t have farm subsidies, we’d already be drinking sugared Pepsi…
Speaking of which… “Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, […]
Private vs Public Water Provision
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
Readers will know that I favor neither public nor private (investor-owned) provision of water, since the problems of ownership structure are less important than the problems of monopoly. (And the solution to monopoly — if not competition — is careful community monitoring.)

The name IPAT could be mistaken for one of many products made for the iPhone, but no! It’s the new name for what used to be simply PAT, which in turn is the acronym for Playing Ability Test (for pool). I think PAT was designed for the […]
