and these children that you spit upon as they try to change their world

If you look to the right you’ll notice a link in the blogroll to ‘A VC’. It’s a varied and stimulating blog providing tunes, technology and a fine sense of curiosity…and it’s delightfully devoid of my passion and obsession: geopolitical topics of all sorts. Fred had a great post on the subject of YouTube today […]

Rob Finkels loved his job as the Vice President of Public Relations for the San Francisco Giants Baseball Club. Colleagues around Major League Baseball referred to him as The Coyote as in Wile E. Coyote - Super Genius. But even The Coyote felt a little trepidation about this campaign. To maintain his […]

Continental Divide

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

I got an email about a week ago with an article attached to it. It was written by a guy whom I’d been told about years prior by one of the LC contributors. The authors name is Richard Florida and he talks a lot about what he calls the creative class. To […]

So I just finished The Da Vinci Code. A little behind the wave on that one but I decided to read it now since I would inevitably see the movie. It’s a good suspense novel and I enjoyed the ideas. Particularly about Christianity burying previous ideas about worshipping a Goddess and setting […]

The Revolution that is. It’s being filmed as we sit. The collapse or near collapse won’t be and it’s apparently on its way. Then again, who knows. Is there a certain style associated with the Revolution? I’d say so and it involves denim, zippered sweatshirts, piercings and tatoos. Yea, […]

“When you find what matters is what you feel,
