World GDP Article

I found this on Greg Mankiw's blog. It shows percent share of world GDP. It's very interesting!

Holiday Feelings!

This week has me feeling a little festive for the holidays! After the Halloween party, I pulled out my Christmas lights (LED Christmas lights to be specific :) ) and plugged them in. It was really a good feeling. I think I'm going to put them in my room, have the Christmas tree and garland with lights (white lights on both, probably warm LED lights to be specific :) ).

Also, I decdied to cook a pecan pie last night. I had to make my own crust and used my Mom's famous recipe. After about an hour worth of work, I baked it. The pie came out so beautiful -- nice and golden brown, with that wonderful sweet custard filling.

Unfortunately, the middle didn't set in the pie. So now I have pie soup. It still takes really good, but it was an epic failure. I'll have to try again when I finish this one.
