There was a “pro-business” Supreme Court ruling yesterday that scares me as a small business owner. At issue were campaign contributions from corporations to political campaigns (and I assume PACs and the like).
The losing side is lamenting that under the new ruling, the wealthy will have a greater influence over politics by using corporations as [...]
Remember that scene in Office Space about having a million dollars? Here is a neat little animated refresher:
In the movie, Peter goes on to say that if he had a million dollars he would do absolutely nothing. That is the whole point. If you have enough money that you don’t have to work for a [...]
I have not been using an RSS reader for months. Lately I have been trying to look at my NetNewsWire again, but there are a couple of things that frustrate me.
The first is that it is not easy for me to share items. I used to be able to clip them, but now that NNW [...]
I just read Fred Wilson’s recap of the Hacking Education meeting. I am really looking forward to seeing the full transcript. While we wait for that I thought I might share how a single magazine article about self-education changed my life.
First, a little background. For whatever reason, I didn’t do well in school. I [...]

Our Great Nation was founded on principles of equality, but the model of our actions has not lived up [...]
This is one of my favorite pictures of myself. It is not a particularly good (or crisp) shot, but it epitomizes something I am really glad I did. I took this picture myself during my motorcycle journey from Nashville to DC and back last October. This picture was taken at a pull off spot on [...]
First off, let me say that Letterman’s flogging of John McCain has been hilarious! It seems full of genuine emotion. I am sure Letterman was not making a larger political statement about the lack of transparency in the McCain campaign, it sure has been a perfect example of the frustration the press seem to be [...]

In case you haven’t heard, we are having a little gasoline problem here in Nashville. The problem is that most of he gas stations don’t have ANY gas.
