Nigel Holmes created an cool infographic for GOOD on the history of the US economy.
What most of the doom-and-gloom reports on our economy don’t provide is perspective—a historical survey of an economy that’s been through more than a few ups and downs in its day. Here’s a farsighted view of how our temperamental economic machine works, and a close-up of how it stands today.

If you happened to look! Up in the sky! Last weekend! You might have seen a big blimp-like airship drifting over the Golden Gate Bridge around noon on Saturday.
Only, it wasn’t a blimp — it was a rigid-framed dirigible, and a genuine Zeppelin at that. Owned and operated by a local startup called Airship Ventures, the Zeppelin NT will be based at Moffett Field, and it should become a familiar sight in the skies over the Bay Area as the company begins carrying passengers on sightseeing flights.
I went aboard the Zeppelin yesterday for a quick demonstration flight, and it was good clean fun. Here’s my flight report, and here’s a link to lots more photos. Wheeeeee!
