			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>I was <a href="http://michaelgracie.com/2008/06/19/wednesday-lunch-at-the-brown-trout-school-caddisflies/">fishing</a> Wednesday, and I had an all day meeting on Friday (which unfortunately was on a river, so I couldn&#8217;t use <a href="http://michaelgracie.com/2008/05/22/revisiting-newsgator-makes-a-fan-out-of-me/">NewsGator Go!</a> to stay abreast).  Saturday I pulled another all-dayer - there was no business talk but there was <a href="http://michaelgracie.com/2008/06/22/testy-moments-in-fly-fishing/">plenty of discussion</a> regarding &#8220;life aquatica&#8221; and how to fool them.  Some folks might think I missed a lot:</p>
<ul><em> The AP giveth, and the bloggers taketh away&#8230;</em></p>
<li>The bastion of bias <a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20080617/0740561432.shtml">lays out a price list</a> for what is legally free.  Techcrunch asks them to <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/19/the-ap-has-violated-my-copyright-and-i-demand-justice/">pay up</a>.</li>
<li>Maybe the AP should chase after their <a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/6/the_ap_s_real_problem_isn_t_bloggers_it_s_newspapers">member news outlets</a> and leave everyone else alone.  The <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/huffington_post_going_local.php">Huffington Post</a> is doing it.</li>
<p><em>The secrets of success&#8230;</em></p>
<li>According to George Soros - <a href="http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/06/wsj-interview-w.html">accept losses and move on</a>.</li>
<li>According to Bill Gates - <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7464074.stm">compete against stupid, lazy people</a>.</li>
<li>According to Carl Icahn - <a href="http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/6/carl_icahn_angry_blogger_">be angry</a>.</li>
<p><em>From the housing market&#8230;</em></p>
<li><a href="http://connpolitics.tv/index.php/2008/06/18/dodd-and-ct-residents-speak-out">Senators from Connecticut</a> have all the fun.</li>
<li>Living in Southern California?  <a href="http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/2008/06/chris-thornberg-possible-50-house-price.html">Not so fun</a>.</li>
<li>And renters may not be losing their shirts, but they are still <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/opinion/23krugman.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin">second-class citizens</a>.</li>
<p><em>And the environmentally-friendly, in the world according to Forbes&#8230;</em></p>
<li>Here&#8217;s to the upcoming <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/19/natural-gas-hydrogen-biz-energy-cx_wp_0620natgas.html">hydrogen economy</a>, and why the same ol&#8217; players will control it.</li>
<li>You can&#8217;t turn water into wine (without grapes, of course), but someone will try turning <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/05/28/alternative-fuels-biofuels-tech_sciences_cz_kad_0528fuels.html">algae into oil</a> (with the idea that gasoline comes next).</li>
<li>Big dams are <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/19/dams-methane-warming-tech-water08-cx_bb_0619dam.html">making a comeback</a> - I wouldn&#8217;t mind a few more tailwaters, but I hope big fish get some consideration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Interestingly, Forbes threw in a note - people <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/12/travel-parks-america-forbeslife-cx_rr_0612parks.html">aren&#8217;t visiting national parks</a> like they use to.</p>
<p>Maybe they&#8217;re too busy keeping up with the news.</p>
