Interesting. I’ve always thought I was unusual in that I average significantly less than 1 drink per week. Turns out 60% of Americans can say the same. On the other hand, 10% of American adults drink a little more than 10 drinks a day. Holy crap. I never drink alone, by the way. And when it’s just Julie and me, we rarely have a drink. We’re social... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

This relates to the item I posted a week or two ago by the woman who talked about what it’s like to be working poor. Some people commenting on the post said, well, you know, it’s her own fault. She had kids when she couldn’t afford them. She eats junk food and smokes. She doesn’t take care of her appearance so she can’t get a job facing the... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

Are Google apps on iPhones and iPads ever going to support extensions? The new version of the Gmail app is optimized for the larger screen on iOS 6 and 6 Plus. But it doesn’t support extensions or the new notifications. No support for extensions or iOS 8 notifications in Google Maps either. Nor in the Google+ app, where its lack is particularly... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

"It’s all very well to talk about deregulation, but not if that’s a code-word for keeping protected national markets," says Europe’s outgoing top telecom regulator.

And just silly. Everyone knows that waffles are far superior than pancakes.
And French toast beats them both. - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

> Middle class wages are flat, and their wealth is still falling. At least during the bubble years, rising home prices gave people access to credit that helped mask their stagnant wages. But no more. Home equity lines of credit are down almost 25 percent from their peak, and are still declining. The middle class, in other words, can’t borrow from... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

Hosting a data center is an expensive proposition, requiring specialized skills, plenty of real estate and copious electrical power. But it also provides carriers with competitive advantages, giving them... - http://mitchwagner.tumblr.com/post...

"If it isn’t making money, what’s it for?" Our doctor and dentist have both sold their practices recently, and we’re concerned the new guys are a little too focused on making money.
