I called the bubble!
{warning: I have been writing all day long and I think my brain has short circuited when it comes to grammar and spelling, so go easy on my run-on sentences and poorly crafted strings of words tonight; thank you.}
I got a really cool email today from a woman who works on the Marketplace web site. Marketplace is a public radio show that focuses on business news. Today they featured a piece on the housing market -- specifically on the potential of a housing bubble -- and they used one of my flickr images to illustrate the web page about the segment. Thassright: an emdot image!
The cool thing is that my image was able to be used because on Flickr I use a Creative Commons Copyright. I really believe in Creative Commons and have such wonderful sites such as Flickr and boingboing.net to thank for letting me in on the goodness which is the CC usage rights.

The other cool thing is that I have been crowing about the housing market for more than two years. I am astounded that more people are not up in arms about the amazing inflation that has taken over our housing sitatuation. That's right people, I'll use big-I word and I'll do so because it is true. Inflation is running rampant in our neighborhoods and the only reason I can think of for people not going into anaphylactic shock over it is because of the amount of money homemakers are making on this disgusting trend.
So, I feel proud that my image is being used to illustrate an issue that is near-and-dear to my lowly renter's heart.
