BusinessWeek has an article about the changes coming to the Wall Street Journal in 2007. I had a suspicion that something was changing, since I got a letter in the mail today offering a year’s print *and* online subscription for only $99. Usually, the online subscription alone is $99. I’ve had an online subscription for a few years, but I let it lapse a couple of months ago. I may sign up for the new deal. It’s been a while since I subscribed to an old-fashioned daily paper. Not that I’ll have time to read it.

Zunafish
Well, I signed up for Lala and posted some stuff yesterday. We’ll see how that goes.
There was an article about Zunafish in the NY Times today, and now I’m curious about that too. Zunafish lets you trade DVDs, books, and other stuff, not just CDs like Lala. But it seems to be less flexible, if I understand things correctly.
The Irish Trojan’s blog
This guy seems to have known more about Katrina than FEMA did.
Dork Tidings
John Kovalic has links to some disturbing Katrina-related news items on his blog.
Katrina
Lots of stuff on Katrina at crabwalk.
How Costco Became the Anti-Wal-Mart
Interesting article about Costco from the New York Times.
Cosmic Crash Won’t Destroy Comet or Earth
I just love this headline from SPACE.com. Because you *know* someone thinks it will.
Pogues Posts – New York Times
David Pogue’s blog-like page at the New York Times. He’s one of my favorite tech writers.
Election Dejection
I definitely know a few people who are suffereing from election dejection. Besides this NY Daily News article, there was a piece on NPR last week, plus today’s Opus comic touched on this subject too. I like Opus’ solution: peaches! (I’d link to the strip, but it appears that the Opus strip is not available online. Strange.) Most of the people with this problem are too young to remember Reagan.
Josh Benton
Josh Benton is blogging from Zambia. Some interesting stuff, and a bunch of fairly mundane (but still kind of interesting) stuff.
