It's been a while

Holy cowsers, it's been a while since I've posted. Sorry... was busy with a good dash of lazy. Anyways, things that have happened since the last posting. A new iPhone is out, the 3GS. Apple seems to be pumping out revisions like crazy. The Gaza strip hasn't gotten that much better, and North Korea is even crazier than ever, but now with nuclear toys.

As for the state of the economy, still crappy. California just reached 11.5 percent unemployment which apparently is the highest level recorded in modern history. Higher than the Great Depression? Someone's going to have to check on that figure.

I was thinking, maybe around 10% unemployment is the new normal. It could be that it's just how things are going to be as we enter some kind of new territory. Seems like the market and the economy as a whole is evolving into this new form which no one seems to have a handle on yet. In the end, it's just too many people with too few jobs fueled by ever dwindling innovation.
