Not sure what you were thinking when you read that title, but if you are any of my siblings you are wrong. Gas Buddy (actual site is gasbuddy.com) is a pretty cool site that shows the gas prices in a particular area of most of the gas stations. It is updated in real-time by volunteers and generally for any area with decent populations stays pretty accurate. How exactly would you use the information? There are a couple of ways…
Anyone else noticing around a 10% jump in gasoline pricing this week? You can largely think the federal reserve banking system for that. Yeah, the same folks that were largely involved in the wall street bailout because several brokerage banks were too large to fail have screwed middle class America once again by causing what will likely end up being over $3.00 per gallon gasoline in the very near future. I am sure some of you are saying wait just a minute, what can the federal reserve do to effect gasoline pricing and wasn’t there a refinery fire this past week as well?
I have not had a good list of those little observations in a long while, partly because most things of late have been a longer post. However, I have come up with several shorter pieces of information to share over the last few days. They range from some comments on the Nobel Prize for Physics concerning the invention of a graphene to the tea party’s hijacking by the likes of Glen Beck and a very personally disappointing Sarah Palin. Somewhere in between there will be some comments on about how I think Toyota got a raw deal from the government regarding the recall, but that really goes back to September. Mixed in there somewhere will be a little bit about the FreeCycle concept what I think is wrong with it working as well as it should.
Comments and Ethics
By Ray on October 10th, 2010
I am left with some kind of an ethical question that I seem to have a bit of issue resolving. I certainly know which I am leaning, but I invite readers to make a suggestion or comment on the matter. The question is one of comments made about a blog post, but not made here on the blog site. Instead, as so much of my promoting the blog site is done on various social networks including the likes of Twitter and especially Facebook, good comments are often left on those mediums instead of back here on the blog. That is, in itself perhaps not surprising. However, it derails the conversation here on the blog that some could be involved in that are otherwise not seeing those things on the secondary sites like the afore-mentioned Twitter and Facebook.
