Occassional Dimes

  • Drop.io: Needing to (anonymously) share files or communicate with your friends or the world? Check out this new site that is popular among "democracy movement" types overseas.

  • Tufte on the iPhone: Visualization guru weighs in on what's cool and what needs work. The QuickTime file is large and may require a few minutes to download.

  • Dow Jones Meets Dharma: Socially-responsible investing gains a small foothold in India.

  • Homeless Shelters In San Francisco: Reporters from the SF Bay Guardian go undercover and give an inside peek into how shelters in the city operate. Having worked as an overnight volunteer manager for a homeless shelter in the past, I am glad to say that not all shelters in California are as badly run as the ones covered in the article.

  • Health Care and U.S. Presidential Politics: Listen to this excellent overview from UNC political scientist Jonathan Oberlander. Of the remaining candidates, only Hillary Clinton's plan provides universal coverage.
