(Journal) Choosing Content for “What We’re Made Of”
Date: September 28, 2008; Filed in Journal
While choosing printers and making design decisions for this self-publishing venture is difficult enough, one of the hardest choices to make has been regarding book content. What We’re Made Of has multiple purposes…. What We’re Made Of is going to be separated into three sections: Inner Self & Outside World, Belief & Understanding, and Love & Hate.
Free Music: Weigl & Hoffmann

Check out Weigl & Hoffmann if you like electronica or ambient music. They have a nice, soothing style. They have six tracks in their new EP, Elevate, and they’re free to download in either MP3 or OGG format.
From the website: “Subtle soundscapes, discreet guitar and piano ambiences along with breathy vocals create a contemplative atmosphere that gradually surrounds you, draws you in deeper and deeper…”
Enjoy! :)
(Videos) Socialism for the Rich
While I don’t agree with all the comments made among this group of political and economic thinkers, this video is interesting. I think it’s safe to say, though, that the government’s takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac symbolizes little more than official paperwork. The government has been bailing out these two “companies” for a long time, and they have a history of governmental monopoly, so is it really any surprise that it’s finally been made official? Is it really any surprise that slight intervention begets complete intervention? Surely the only people shocked by this are those who very stupidly had faith in their politicians and government.
Strangely, people seem to forget their history (no surprise). A lot of the economic turmoil and arguments Americans go through today are directly related to items in Roosevelt’s New Deal, which didn’t take advantage of the free market.
