Beginnings

I have been using my webpage to communicate with students, distribute datasets, and post course materials and such for years. While I manage to keep some parts up to date, my page only gets a real update every 6 months or so. I have promised myself I would to this more often, but things never work out as planned. Experiments with early webboards went badly, as I spent way too much time cleaning up advertisements and such posted by forces unknown. So, maybe this will work better, and will create the illusion that I am keeping up to date. My goal here is a periodic (bi-weekly?) post (musings on the global economy and such) with additional links and posts for my students and fellow travellers. As such, topics are likely to track what is going on in the classroom discussions.
