Welcome this site was last updated on !                                                                              <>

This is my second attempt at a website.  Hopefully this will be more focused than the website I made back in 1998.  I think I'll include pictures, some thoughts and anything that I find interesting.  Any suggestions let me know!

Go Lakers & Dodgers!  Down with the KINGS and SF-Giants!

Sorry still under construction!  For some reason my page loads really slowly on my computer, probably because of all of the pictures??? If you're having the same problem, let me know, i'll take down some stuff... not that there is a lot on this page anyways...

More Pictures....	The Economist... Stuff
Amateur photographer with my Kodak DC240 - 1.3MP camera for the last 3 years.  Recently (6/03)got a new Sony 5.0MP camera and will include those pics as soon as I take some decent ones...	For my fellow grad students, this is probably what you're looking for (mostly "borrowed" from other famous economists' site).  Paul Krugman's website - This person is famous for coming up with "increasing returns to trade", which was pretty big in the 80's & 90's.  I don't think he has won the Nobel Prize yet, but I'm sure he will soon.  I listened to him speak at a conference at Georgetown and he is probably won of the few brilliant economists that make sense.  His site has some interesting articles, links, course materials, etc.  He is a prof. at Princeton, located in the armpit of the US, New Jersey, and is in the same department of the famed John Nash, from "A Beautiful Mind"...no, not Russell Crowe.
