 Which is better Comcast’s Cable and Internet package or AT&T’s new Uverse?

I decided to make the switch in exchange for the $200 coupon. ( at Best Buy)

I was nervous because I’m comfortable with Comcast.

I really like Uverse now. The wireless router they provide works well. I can record 4 shows at once on the DVR in the bedroom. I can watch any of those recordings on any tv.  They provide games, music, etc.

I opted for the 6 GIG internet service, a $5 upgrade. ( Very speedy).

All in all a very good system! A+

I’m looking forward to hooking it to my slingbox ; so I can watch my tv on my Blackberry soon…

There has been lots of cringing in the northeastern U.S. and in eastern Canada this year about the amount of snow that has fallen. So, is the current snow cover — the amount of snow remaining on the ground — anomalous by historical standards?

Well, one way to answer that question is to to go to the Rutgers University Climate Lab, which maintains a nifty map that shows a graphical "diff" of current snow cover from satellite-based norms. And here is the answer as of yesterday, with purple areas denoting surplus snow. Looks like there is an area in the eastern U.S. with more snow on the ground than normal, but, that’s about it — other than a few areas in the Rockies (and lots in Europe) with less snow than usual.

Much of my family lives in Ottawa, Canada, and so now and then I like to check a live webcam across the street from Parliament Hill. Mid-winter it can be lovely, with snow all around and the Canadian flag streaming with the Gatineau hills behind; mid-summer it’s even nicer, with a verdant lawn on a gorgeous cliff overlooking the Ottawa River.

Today, however, it’s March 8th, and there is a walloping snow storm going on in Ottawa, one that produced the following view of the Peace Tower, as if through a contracting lens:

Not to make people there feel bad, but it’s a lovely day here in La Jolla, as you can see from the live webcam at the top of nearby Mount Soledad:

Three great, interlocking reads on the changing role of the Fed as lender of last resort:

  • What’s Ben doing? (Krugman)
  • Fed repurchase agreement and the Fed as pawnbroker (Waldman)
  • How the Fed is conducting monetary policy on the asset side of the balance sheet (Hamilton)
