Beautiful website for a beautiful moment in American history.  Will we ever again put so much focus into expanding human knowledge & technology? Seems like we are such a different country now....

Putting Things Into Perspective

Seeing this really put things into perspective for me this morning.  As bad as this recession is hitting my pocketbook, it is nothing compared to the suffering the Iranian people are going through.

 

Props to Iran360 for posting these videos (of which this is extremely tame compared to the other horrendous videos on this blog).

 

Akmadinajad this blood is on your hands.

Milton Friedman - Greed

Is it just me or is Milton high? 


Very interesting how this video is making its rounds on the internet, and how the conservative blogs are extolling the virtues of Friedman.  Seems glaringly obvious to me that what we are now experiencing is due to the flaws of "man pursuing his own individual pursuits".


To say that the State has never contributed to innovation is far from the truth. Take for instance the Internet. The early phases of the internet existed solely within the State system for nearly 30 years (research, development, military and procurement) before private companies capitalized on its potential.


What I would like to know, is of the biggest Fortune 500 companies, how many of them have thrived without the help of government subsidies.


Don't drink the Kool-aid.

Encounters At The End Of The World

I was awestruck by the harsh beauty of the Herzog's documentary on researchers at the South Pole. They are many things about this documentary that will fascinate you, but the one thing that stuck out to me was the sound the seals made underwater.  This sounds like nothing made by nature.  Squarepusher meets the animal kingdom.

Definitely worth renting.
