Always interesting to see I am not alone.

I especially love the quote from Gates that became this post’s title.

Carnival of the Capitalists is dead as originally known. It’s dead in all its other forms, including moved to something I do with little or no input to create weekly posts with sets of links.

Heck, the entire concept of blog carnivals is effectively dead. The world has changed.

Yet here I am, with this site, name recognition, a boatload of links I run across and in some cases bookmark to be posted… eventually… and a plan all along to make it generate a few bucks if it could.

The entire CotC thing is an awkward one for me, in that I was originally known for it under my nom de blog, yet I have associated it with my real name in various ways and for various reasons, right down to mentioning it on some versions of my resume. Which may have caused me trouble, last time I interviewed.

At any rate, I have a plan. A casual plan. No fanfare.

It is an utterly fascinating time for business and economics, however dystopian. I read stuff all the time. Some of the links are in same old places, or are found through original linkers with far more traffic than I’ll ever enjoy. That doesn’t mean I can’t note them, if only for my own satisfaction. If I have much more than a link to say, I may elaborate elsewhere, but here’s the deal:

I shall endeavor to post links regularly, with limited comment, to content that passes for business and economics in nature, and I shall call that, call this site, Carnival of the Capitalists. I won’t seek but don’t object to submissions. It will double as the historical repository of CotC as it was, and if I get into it enough, into blogging and writing as What I Do For A Living enough, I may revisit some of that as fodder here or there.

Here goes…

  • On top of the digest for 2/8 not publishing on the blog, it appears some of what I tweeted this pass were repeats I’d not deleted from… #
  • my queue of links waiting to be shared. I was sure I’d followed the normal procedure last time - open, copy URL, paste, delete bookmark. DOH #
