More Blogginess

I've always been a gloom and doom kind of person. I remember being unable to sleep at night in the early eighties (during high school) worried about the Federal deficit. I suppose I prefer to be pleasantly surprised when my predictions of disaster fail to come true than painfully disappointed. Thus, I'm morbidly fascinated by the current economic crisis as well as the more long-term crisis of peak oil. Two blogs I've discovered recently help me get my doom and disaster fix. Calculated Risk is a finance and economics blog which these days is documenting the horros of the housing collapse, as well as the foolishness which led to the collapse. The Oil Drum blog discusses energy and the future of energy (ie Peak Oil). To complete the trifecta, I probably should find a blog dedicated to global warming.
