WHEN THINGS OF INTEREST COME TO ME VIA DAYPOP
I always wonder where they originated. As I understand it, Daypop ranks the top 40 posts to weblogs based upon how often the posts are read or linked to or something. This implied that if something begins to run up the charts at Daypop, a bunch of weblogs are covering or repeating the item. Yet, I can't find where I missed this one in the weblogs I read today. It's no big deal. I continue to try to figure out how all these weblogs align with (and against) each other.
This was worth reading, though, and none of the weblogs I read today picked it up.

KEEP THEM COMING
It's great that the web lets you learn from the pro's in so many fields
Is it sharp or not? I've started posting images from my Nikon Coolpix 5700. I've now shot about 500 images. When everything goes well, the camera is awesome. It does take some getting used to the focus and manual settings, though. I'm still learning about the camera and probably will be for years. But, right out of the box you can see that it makes pretty darn nice and clear images. All of the images posted so far are unretouched images straight off of the camera. I think in the few hundred images I've posted so far you'll see a good range of different types of subjects. You'll also see that I used flash a lot (I bought a new Nikon SB-50DX flash that is pretty nice). [Scobleizer Radio Weblog]

A REAL ESTATE OR HOUSING BUBBLE?
John Robb: "The gain in homes over the next decade will make your head spin." [Scripting News]
Andrew is liberal in some ways that I cannot begin to fathom, but in personal finance and money management, he's been rock solid for an awfully long time. Take a look at Andrew Tobias's notions. Here's an excerpt.
Andrew Tobias: I get The Van Eck-Tillman Real Estate And Bank Letter, billed as “Adrian Van Eck’s Confidential Letter On The One-Half of U.S. Wealth in Real Estate” ($90 a year, call 800-219-1333). From its June 6 letter:
From coast to coast, the American real estate bubble has been puffing up ever more dangerously in the past 30 days. My gosh, when I think about the several boom-and-bust cycles I have observed and reported on in the past 40 years, I wonder just how high this one can go and how much longer it can last before it begins to come apart. When it will end is still hidden from us mortals. But the fact that it will end and end badly cannot be in doubt or dispute.

WERE THEY IRATE BEFORE THE CALL?
Can this be right, "it took the computer company more than two years to track down and fix the problem?"
Wrong Phone Number Costs Gateway. PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) -- Computer giant Gateway Inc. has been hit with a $3.6 million jury verdict for a wrong number that flooded another company's toll-free telephone line with calls from thousands of angry Gateway customers.

My military ambition. Not so long ago -- in response to my throwaway remark that the German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn looks like a Panzer commander -- someone commented: [Jonathon Delacour]
