Cathy Davidson recently posted her thoughts about rapid change and the unpredictability of the near future, and linked "The Twitter Guys", and article in a recent New York Times about the founders of Twitter and how it expanded at a rate of 1,382 percent, with traffic increasing 43 percent since Oprah joined in April. 

I commented about Cathy's post:

My father had surgery over a month ago, spent about 3 weeks in the ICU, and now is living the life of luxury in a LTACH, stranded in a city where he does not live, hundreds of miles away from family and friends.   I've written a few blog posts related to health care, emergency health records, and technology designed to support the elderly, focusing on issues related to the "health-care user experience".

Economic Sounds and Sights is a blog I recently put together in response to what I've discovered during the current economic crisis. I incorporated some of the content from a previous long post I wrote in September, and I continue to add to the blog whenever I have a moment to reflect on all the history we are experiencing.

I thought I'd share a few other blog post that might be of interest, unrelated to the economy:
