It's been a busy week & I haven't been able to say as much as I'd like. But here's what a few others are saying:

1. Chrees pulls out the wayback machine to see his blog entries from 1986: "6/10: I'm still following the Microsoft IPO from earlier this year. I had a chance to get in on the investment, but I believe them to be a one-hit wonder-no staying power at all..."

2. bluebird at Hedonic Adjustment on mortgage escrows: "Access to this interest-free mountain of cash (by my rough estimate, around $25 billion is currently being held in residential mortgage escrow accounts) is a Juicy plum for the lending and loan servicing industries."

3. J.D. at Get Rich Slowly points out the National Score Index for those who love nothing more than to see how their state's credit scores compare to the rest of the country's.
