After a little more than a year off, we're back!  Here are the topics for Episode 15:

--A quick down and dirty explanation of the sub-prime lending mess in the U.S.
 
--Is geography important?  I know a woman who, when she finished school, moved to the city where she wanted to live and waited tables until she found a job in her field.  Most people normally do the opposite:  the job dictates where you live.  Does it matter?  (9:16)
 
--There's a video about a guy who collects apple computers:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/08/08/mac-collector.ap/index.html Are you this way about anything?  C'mon, you've really got 400 GI Joes, don't you? (20:06)
 
--Home theater:  where do you stand now, what do you want to get, what do you recommend.  What did you pick Blu-Ray or HD DVD? (30:57)
 
--Modeling human behavior has become more advanced.  There's a huge market for being able to predict human response to a given stimulus from a military, corporate and political perspective.  How far do you think we are really and how far do you think this technology will go?

--We used to talk about futurism a fare amount on this show.  What signs do you see that indicate major technological progress in our society?  Do you think we'll have a singularity event by 2020?  2050? Ever? (51:37)

--Editing podcasts:  a primer.  (1:01:12)
