Starting this weblog might be a Stupid Idea
Here's my plan. Over the past several years I have noticed more and more that when I read a piece of information I forget the most important details. Oh I might remember a small piece of it, but forget the punch line. Say for example "It was either 80,000 or 800,000 . . .". I remember the 8, but not exactly what factor of ten.
So I'm starting a weblog, possibly more private that my main weblog, where I plan to post little pieces of information that I might want to call back on someday (assuming that when someday comes this weblog is still alive).
Update:
I was planning on starting a third weblog for reading notes, but decided to wrap both a reading log and tidbits into one weblog with two categories.

Credit for Style
Thanks to emptypages for the index files and stylesheet for this weblog (called 2col) . Quite groovy.

US Census Income Stat
On average, over a lifetime a US citizen who has an undergraduate degree will make $600,000 more than a person with a highschool education. An individual who earned a graduate degree will make $1,011,000 more than a person with a high school degree.
Statistics reported on a poster for Cambridge College, citing the 2002 US Census, seen on Orange Line in Boston.
