Saw this site today, What I learned Today. It has lots of great economic news coverage with a very nice simple design. It got linked to over at boingboing on this piece about GM.

0.000000435%

is roughly the percent of GM that we each own.

$362 is what each of us paid for that equity stake.

Will you and I get a good ROI?

It's easy to look at this situation in a "where is my money" way. It seems very unlikely that this company will ever be valued at what it used to be valued, and even less likely to be valued nearly 50% more! But thinking about it more, I don't really even know what that means for Gm to be Valued at some billions of dollars. It is such an abstract concept to view any huge company as a dollar figure and even more abstract to think that I have somehow given GM 362 dollars. So I kinda take these numbers lightly.

It rains in June once a decade maybe and this year it added a little excitement to our chalk drawing project at Hyde. Though everything went off without a hitch and there were some really nice drawings.

When I figure out how to embed video here, I will make a shot video of images and audio recordings I made while the students worked on their pieces.
