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.

Kottke has an interesting post about the state of blog search which, in his words, “sucks.” I’d generally have to agree. I’m working on some notification/ping issues with FatMixx, which I’ll have more about later.
