Ok, so I must admit, I’ve been slacking off quite a bit in writing these posts and they’ve noticeably gone from ‘a week in review’ to ‘a few weeks month in review’ in no time flat. Now, I won’t say that this negligence is directly due to someone’s personal laziness but I’m sure that a diet of coffee and chocolate chip cookies can’t be too beneficial to one’s metabolism. In any case, please let me re-assure you that we Dumb Agents (as a whole) have been working hard to bring you, our dearest reader, everything that there is to know about economics and finance!

Without further ado, here’s a list of all the things that we’ve been up to since our last update:

• We opened the DumbAgent.com Store! Now you can buy as much DA gear as your heart desires.
• Re-designed the navigation bar and moved the search bar along with the rss/mail subscription options in there too.
• Started to add audio versions to especially long posts to raise content accessibility. The first one can be found here.
• Added a description to Andy Liau’s profile on the ‘About Us’ page.
• Re-made the DA seal with vectors rather than raster layers to allow proper, and subsequently cleaner, image scaling functionality.
• Added a ‘social networks’ section the sidebar to showcase which social networks you can find us on. We’re omnipresent!
• Added the Who’s.Among.Us site tracker to satisfy our personal vanity issues.
• Began to re-organize the site’s navigation and content schematics to increase our contents visibility beyond the front page
• And finally: made some aesthetic changes to the site’s overall theme which we hope you noticed and find them aesthetically agreeable.

Well, that’s about it. Once again and always, thank you for visiting the site! Please feel free to contact us with anything (except spam) at the following address:

Cheers,
- The Dumbagent Team

We now leave you with the following links:

• This is Dollllaaarrrr!
  Although they may not be accepted at a counter, most machines should still accept them. Just for the record, we should specify that it is illegal to deface legal tender.
• 360 Billion Dollar Check
  Sure, we could all use 360 billion dollars but I’d be hard pressed to find an inconspicuous way of carrying all that cash out of the bank.
• Economic Stimulus
  This about says it all… by the way, what are all of you planning to do with your checks?
• ‘Free Tibet’ Flags Made In China
  ‘Free Tibet’ flags are made in China!? I take this as an example of the Markets trumping Political will.
• Road Map
  Economic development makes really cool maps!
• Inflation’s Little Parts
  A nice looking graphic on an ugly topic.
• New Energy World Order
  Asia Times’ Take on the new energy world order.
• World Competitiveness Scoreboard
  Top 55 of the world’s most competitive countries according to IMD (International Institute for Management Development). Italy’s got nothing on Japan!

We would also like to wish a Happy (belated) Tax Freedom Day to Estonia, Australia (April 24th) and Lithuania (May 5th).
