The World Clock

This is a repeat of an older post, but I still love this site. Check out the world clock. Click the Now button and watch the numbers fly. Could Malthus have been right after all? Do you see any trends? Any of the numbers surprise you? Check out some of the other features on the site. Leave at least a 3 sentence comment (min 50 words)

100 Best Blogs for Economics Students

Click on Post title to be taken to list website

Review two blogs from this list of the 100 best blogs for economics students. Make sure they are from different categories, and don't repeat one that someone else has already done. Once we run out of blogs on this list you will have to search for another Economics blog somewhere on the net. Yes I realize that this means you will have to check the previous posts to see which ones have already been reviewed. The sooner you do this one the easier it will be. Reviews need to include:
1) Content
2) Appearance
3) Ease of Navigation
4) Apparent bias


**Due Sunday before midnight**

Welcome Class of 2014

Greetings future Economists! Your first task is to show me that you are able to find this site and leave a comment. So tell me one topic that you think that we will study this year. You may not copy anyone else's post, so posting earlier is better.
