Go! / Mets win 3-1

HUGE win. I love afternoon midweek baseball. Mets in first, lets see if they can stay there.

I love this gem from Tuesday…

“We’ve lined up Endy Chavez to be a guest on The Nooner to talk about the Mets tough loss…wait, hold on, my producer just informed me that Endy will not be here in time because third-base coach Luis Aguayo gave him directions to the YES studios instead of SNY.” - The Nooner

“With a new round of shake-ups in late-night television set to begin next year, Lorne Michaels has decided to try to get a jump on things by starting NBC’s next edition of “Late Night,” with its new host Jimmy Fallon, as a nightly entry on the Internet.

Mr. Fallon has been named as the replacement for Conan O’Brien when Mr. O’Brien takes over the “Tonight” show from Jay Leno next year, and Mr. Michaels, the long-time boss of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” who also serves as executive producer of “Late Night,” told television reporters here Sunday that he wants Mr. Fallon to work out as many of the rough spots in his presentation as possible in performances on a website.

This is either brilliant or a recipe for complete and utter disaster.

I have a feeling Murray couldn’t be enjoying life more.

If you live your life by the tenets of Murray and Steve Martin, you’ll be a happy, fulfilled man.

Episode 2 of Nite Fite: Bermuda Triangle.

The presence of “essence points” is undeniable.

Congrats to Michelle and the entire Next New Networks team on this. Meth Minute is one of my favorite shows, and I think Nite Fite is a fantastic extension of the brand. Love this bartender too.

Tulip Mania

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:53:00 -0400

reading up on my new building, I notice a serious discussion/argument on the role of speculators in a free market economy.

Someone brings up tulips, tulip mania to be precise. Apparently, the first “significant speculative bubble” occurred from 1636-37 in the Netherlands, over tulip bulbs. Tulips quickly grew in popularity throughout Europe during that time, seen as the Rolex or Hamptons summer home of their time. French speculators quickly escalated demand, and the Dutch actually created a futures market around bulbs.

At the peak of their popularity, a speculator paid as much as 12 acres of land for a single bulb. Bulbs would go for between 3,000 and 4,200 guilders; a skilled craftsman at the time earned about 150 guilders a year.

Economists still argue today whether tulip mania actually constituted a bubble. “For tulip mania to have qualified as an economic bubble, the price of tulips would have become unhinged from the intrinsic value of bulbs.” I can’t see how anyone could argue that a bulb would be worth what they paid, but I’m no economist.

I’d love someone to explain this to me in more detail. Intrigued.
