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.

… I take off my wedding ring and forget it at home. I get a call this morning from Heidi that basically went something like this:

Sujal: Hello?

Heidi: Are you trying to tell me something?

Sujal: What are you talking about?

Heidi: Are you trying to tell me something?

Sujal: What the hell are you talking about?

Heidi: Forget something?

At which point the light bulb goes on. Funnier still, I tried to play with my ring and was startled when I felt skin instead of metal. I guess that means I’ll probably play with it even after we’re no longer newlyweds.

When, if ever, do you take off your wedding ring? Heidi takes her rings off to shower, but I keep it on almost all the time. I take it off now and again if I’m putting gel in my hair or lotion or something, but it seems that I should take it off when I’m doing stuff out in the yard or whatever. So, I ask all of you, when do you take your rings off?

I’ve also noticed that every new husband, including myself, can’t stop playing around with their ring. Probably because I’m not used to it, but still, it’s funny that you can pick out the new husbands by looking at who plays with their rings.
