News: eBay is selling houses -- http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1106-918249.html Comment: I'm impressed with the way that eBay has focused on finding as many things as possible to sell via an Internet auction mechanism. Cars, houses...what's next? Insurance? Plastic surgery? College educations? Of course, those of you who have used eBay understand that you have to really know your prices in order to get a bargain. You can actually pay more than retail if you are not careful. On the other hand, if you are a seller, you are delighted to have people over-bid the price of your product. News: Very interesting transcript of an online chat with a futurist -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/liveonline/02/business/business_celente 052202.htm Comment: This guy is apparently a famous spotter-of-trends. Among his predictions: continued slow economic growth, a completely new source of energy this century, continued worldwide overproduction but lots of cheap/high-quality manufactured products. Kind of a gloomy forecast, overall; but interesting reading. News -- Hurts so good? Article says "runners high" is an urban legend -- http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/21/health/fitness/21RUN.html Comment -- Well, now I don't feel guilty about feeling miserable when I run. Mostly I feel the best when I stop running! Click here to see current comments and add your own. 2:21:56 PM
