Newsweek’s Daniel Gross explains the Consumer Price Index (here’s the official BLS site) in a very simple video. I could do without the goofy sound effects, but it’s a good, 2 minute explanation of how the government tracks inflation.
Per David Simon’s Berkeley talk, though, the video doesn’t go into why this matters. Perhaps they’ll cover that in the next installment of the Economics 101 series.

Tivo is supposed to begin testing a product that allows users to download shows to their PSP or iPod. Very very cool stuff. I would love to be able to take the shows with me on an airplane so I don’t have to buy DVDs or UMDs for travel purposes. A few episodes of CSI or the Simpsons should cover me for the flight.
