      You see evidence of this all the times - just watch TV commercials.

For something like a house, borrowing money is reasonable, as long as your taste in homes matches what you can pay off. It is not economically responsible to buy thousands of dollars of new furniture just because you don't have to pay until 2012, knowing that you will not be able to pay it off in time.

    The author of "Flat, hot, and crowded" continues his discussion with the readers in what is titled 'Chapter 18.'

He plans on using the best posts to create the real Chapter 18 for the second edition of his book.

    This was a great read! At my school we send out a newsletter called the Digital Digest. I plan to include some of the ideas from this article in it. I am also exploring some of the links that are in the article. I particularly love the Mathtrain.TV link. I plan to share this with one of our 4th grade teachers who is looking for ways to integrate tech into her math curriculum. Thanks for sharing!
