Being delayed for a year due to the Writers Guild of America’s strike, 24 Season 7 is set to air next January. I am glad that the production team is finally adopting some drastic changes to the series–no more CTU for example–since the last few seasons were just getting increasing ridiculous and boring. One thing I hope to see in this season is for the series to spend more time outside Los Angeles. It just makes no sense that terrorists repeatedly targeted LA.

Eze 6:5 I will lay the corpses of the people of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

Reminds me of the current economic crisis.

Swoopo.com is an auction site more in line with a traditional auction house in that the site is the sole seller. The method of auctioning, however, is very interesting. Each bid you place raises the auction price by $0.01 to $0.15 as well as delaying the end time by up to 20 seconds. The catch is, each bid costs you $0.75. It would be interesting to figure out what the optimal strategy for such auctions is.
