I am off to the beach this weekend, so blogging will be light. But I wanted to ask for help on a technical issue first.

I have not posted all day because I have been spending most of the day doing site maintenance — importing the data from the credit crisis timeline into a database, which will make it a lot easier to update, backfill and make changes to the timeline.
