A long post, but an important one. It's the data no politician is paying attention to.

This is one of the many reasons why you want to move to Europe.

This too shall pass.

I am suspicious because the number is lower than I thought.

For all the Americans who call me "traitor" for even thinking about getting another citizenship, I give you Michele "I make Palin look good" Bachmann: she has now acquired Swiss citizenship.

The Government of Chile is paying people $50,000 to move to Santiago for at least six months. There's a slight catch, though.

I'll still posts links to my other blogs here, but I have a new personal blog at blog.overseas-exile.com. Of course, I still have the main expat blog at www.overseas-exile.com, but I've been wanting a personal blog again. Now I have one.

I didn't jump start my LJ because, as much as I've loved it here, it's dying. My friends are leaving and I haven't had a serious post here in quite some time.

In less than brilliant planning, I managed to have my introductory "Who the hell is Ovid" post after my How the Record Companies Can Survive post, but hey, shit happens.

I don't think most folks will care for the record company post, but I explain how the recording industry can retool itself to face the challenges of the Internet age. That's why I have a personal blog again. I'm tired of being constrained to only expat or technical issues. It feels good to again have a blog where I can say "fuck" and not worry about it.
