In reading the comments after this article, there was a directive given by a native of Johannesburg, saying that if we thought this street in Brazil was beautiful, we ought to check out the jaracandas in their beautiful city. I did, and they’re right. To die for.

Steph lives on a street that has flowering crabapple trees that line both sides of the street. In May, it is a gorgeous sight of brilliant deep pink. After that, not so much.

well, yes, I guess it does. I just checked a couple of photos on wiki and it shows even lower levels.

Comment on Bring back the jobs? by Steve

Jeff Jarvis has a discussion going on Google+ this morning about our Jobless Future. He also has a blog post on the subject at BuzzMachine.com- http://goo.gl/mvj55

“Our new economy is shrinking because technology leads to efficiency over growth. That is the notion I want to explore now.

Pick an industry: newspapers, say. Untold thousands of jobs have been destroyed and they will not come back. Yes, new jobs will be created by entrepreneurs — that is precisely why I teach entrepreneurial journalism. But in the net, the news industry — make that the news ecosystem — will employ fewer people in companies. There will still be news but it will be far more efficient, thanks to the internet.”

Oh, good heavens, contrarian. That’s tantamount to an insult (even taking into consideration that your comment was tongue-in-cheek). Fox News is almost ALL my husband watches and he got close to getting two of them correct.

For my money, I’ll take salon, aljazeera, or der spiegel (dot coms).
