Argh. I’m way too busy. I’m stressed out with my trip to the East Coast tomorrow, my Econ homework, my Farsi homework, the stories that I’m working on for various publications, my thesis, worrying about getting a job vs. going to grad school (I got rejections from SIPA [Columbia] and SAIS [Hopkins] today). I’m graduating in two months. Scary.
Congrats to Boing Boing for all their success winning at the Bloggies. I’ve been reading for about 9 months or so now — keep up the good work!
I was thinking the other night about paradigm shifts in online usage as it applies to banking and billing. My generation, I think, is probably the first that has grown up in a purely online world when it comes to that stuff. I’ve always used online banking since I’ve had a checking account (since 2000), and I have paid every single one of my bills online, too. DSL bill, PG&E bill, credit card bills, all of it. It makes my life easier, and does things likes keep track of my payment history, and account balance and all of that so I don’t have to. This is amazing — a far cry from the ledger books of my grandparents’ day.
