Paying for the bailout

September 24, 2008

With a $700 bil­lion bailout planned by the gov­ern­ment, I go look­ing for sources where we can find the money to pay for this.

American Me

June 28, 2008

Yes­ter­day morn­ing, I entered a room filled with for­eign­ers. By the time I left, there were 240 new Amer­i­can cit­i­zens, myself included. My jour­ney to this moment is one that, in ret­ro­spect, would pretty much a given. Since 1992, I’ve been involved on the outer periph­ery of pres­i­den­tial elec­tions. In the mid-1990s, for a brief period, I was even lucky enough […]

Route Around

July 25, 2003

Doc Searls wrote an inter­est­ing arti­cle enti­tled “Sav­ing the Net” in Linux Jour­nal. While he does present a dystopia in which the net is con­trolled by large cor­po­ra­tion that under­stand how to use reg­u­la­tions as a weapon, I beg to dif­fer on his vision of the future. My per­sonal sus­pi­cion is that the net com­mu­nity will route around […]
