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.

If you have a MySpace account, can you head over to the Girl Talk profile and try and download the track “Pure Magic” from the music player? The download link is enabled but I keep timing out trying to receive the file from mp3download.myspace.com. It’s annoying, and it’s been like this for weeks now.

If you have RealPlayer, you can download it through its “Download This Clip” tool. And, you don’t have to be logged on to MySpace to do it.
