Comment Policy: A Seminar, Not a Foodfight
I want this to be a seminar, not a foodfight. So trolling comments get deleted, usually--I don't have time to moderate this properly, but I am trying.

- My Berkeley Schedule: Summer 2008:
It's the summer. No regular office hours. Emailing delong@econ.berkeley.edu for an appointment also produces good results.
- Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Seventeen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
