Cascade of events.
#1. I sent the link to Odd Head (David Pennock’s excellent blog) to professor Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution. (I also sent him the procrastination link, and the methods of visualization link.)
#2. He published it, and now David Pennock is “marginalized”.
#3. Jason Kottke, seeing the Marginal Revolution blog post, went reading David Pennock’s blog and spotted the iPhone story.
#4. He blogged it, and now David Pennock is “kottked”.

Benefits:
a) 2,000 visitors to his blog, this week.
b) An agreeable injection of Google PageRank.
I know that from experience with CFM. Marginal Revolution linked dozens of time to CFM (most of the times, for link attribution), and Jason Kottke one time in January 2005.
