11/12/2003 04:31 PMBack in April, when the new iPods came out, a photo circulated of what
looked like a black iPod, but which turned out to actually be a
regular white iPod that had been backlit to show off its illuminated
buttons. Somehow completely missing all this and failing to even do
the most cursory factcheck to determine whether these actually exist
or not, Gotham magazine just wrote up a piece touting Apple's "SLEEK

BUSH
EMPLOYMENT PROMISES - UPDATE
BUSH
EMPLOYMENT PROMISES - UPDATE
08/07/2004 12:14 PM

As
promised in February, here's
an update on the US employment data. After a lot of ballyhoo in recent
months, the US Department of Labour has released terrible July
employment growth data, and quietly revised downwards the employment
data for the previous two months. The latest 'preliminary' (subject to
additional revision) numbers for June and July are 131.24 and 131.27
million respectively. Even assuming a resumption of the very modest
increase rate in the Spring, employment is unlikely to reach 132
million by the end of the year. This compares to 132.4 million when
Bush 'took' office four years ago, and 135.3 million promised last
January (though by one interpretation of his mangled speech, he was
really only promising 132.5 million). This would make Bush the first
president since the great depression to record an absolute loss in
total employment during his administration.
In order just to match the 150 thousand new entrants to the labour
force each month due to population increase, employment should be
rising by 1.8 million per year, and should now be nearing 139 million.
What's worse, the quality of
the new jobs created has been exceptionally poor. Rather than creating
high value, knowledge-intensive jobs to replace the jobs offshored to
lower-wage countries, nine out of ten of the highest-growth sectors of
employment are low-wage, low-expectation jobs (food service,
secretarial etc.) Most growth continues to be in part-time and
temporary jobs. No surprise that so many have just given up looking
for
work. So much for trickle-down economics, and the promised stimulus of
Bush's tax giveaway to his rich friends.
Yet a recent AP-Ipsos poll reports 46% of Americans 'approve' of
Bush's handling of the economy. Who are these people and what have they been smoking?

DIRECTORY UPDATE - FEB.10/04
SALON BLOG
DIRECTORY UPDATE - FEB.10/04
02/10/2004 01:32 PM
I have just updated the
full Dire
ctory of Active Salon Blogs.
You can download it in Excel format by clicking on the link at the top
of the right sidebar just below my e-mail link. It contains current
information on the owner and subject of each blog, plus current
sortable data on hits/month and inbound blog counts. Please send
me details of any missing and new Salon Blogs, and any errors in the
Directory. I promise to post any updates I receive to the Directory
spreadsheet regularly. Here are the summary statistics for the last
month:
- Total
hits for the month were about 950 thousand, down 12%
from last month (the decrease was due entirely to a drop in hits for
two blogs). Of that total, 700 thousand hits (72%) went to the top 11
(7%) active blogs. Median hit count remains about 700 per month, or
about 20 hits per day.
- Inbound blogs totaled about 3700, up 16% from last
month,
with the top 11 active blogs accounting for almost exactly half of
them. Median number of inbound blogs remains at 7.
- The approximate proportion of female Salon bloggers
was 42%, the same percentage as a month ago.
- No longer blogging, it appears, are Subdude Citizen, who I'll
really miss, Scott Summers'
Taiwan Weblog, the Return of the King
Countdown blog, Paul
& Chris' Paris Travel Commentary, the very stimulating Mambrino's Helmet, and four
relative newcomers, Quakergreen, Struggle for Progress, Graphite Furnace and Gabriela's Radio Weblog.
- Storyteller Hugh Elliott's Standing Room Only is back,
as is Short 'n
Oblique.
- Of the roughly 85 new Salon Blog numbers assigned
this past
month (#3326-3411), about 30 made at least one post, and the following
12 appear to be posting regularly. That leaves the number of active
Salon Blogs at 160, almost unchanged from a month ago. Welcome to all
new Sloggers.
If I've missed your Salon Blog, or if you know of any active (posted
within the last month) active Salon Blogs not in the directory, please
let me know.

- Total hits per month were about 1.05 million, up 10%

count). Of that total, 760 thousand hits (72%) went to the top 11 (7%)
of active blogs. Median hit count remains about 700 per month.

Dean (#2429), Doublethink (#2521), Life in LA (We miss you, Claire!
#2608), and 16 relatively new bloggers. David Harris is on hiatus.
- Mambrino's Helmet is back as The Forge.
- Of
the roughly 240 new Salon Blog numbers assigned this past
two months (#3412-3642 and #3743-3757), about 90 made at least one
post, and
the following 36 appear to be posting regularly. That leaves the
number
of active
Salon Blogs at 174, up 14 from February. Welcome to all
new Sloggers.
If I've missed your Salon Blog, or if you know of any active (posted

There's just one day left to find the missing Easter eggs (see post
