Looks like I’m not the only one who’s been thinking about breaking the hell out. But Canada is the wrong drection — fools need to head towards (around) the equator. OTTAWA (Reuters) – The number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada’s main immigration Web site has shot up six-fold as Americans flirt with the idea of… Continue reading Americans Flock to Canada’s Immigration Web Site
EscapeArtist.com
A friend of mine just sent me a link to EscapeArtist.com (great name) because we were talking about packing up and leaving the U.S. I’ve toyed with that idea for several years but after the election and how divided the country is, it seems like as good a time as any to bounce. Who’s with… Continue reading EscapeArtist.com
Morgan Stanley Report on Monetizing Blogs
A report by some Morgan Stanley analysts that all bloggers should read, IMHO.

Well I’m still not sure I’m feeling the Mos Def’s ‘New Danger‘ CD, but I’ll always love his older stuff. Here are some of my favorites including tracks from the new. Enjoy Track listing:
Bush & Kerry Dance-Off
I know this has been posted all over the place already, but if you haven’t seen it yet do yourself a favor and check out the ‘Hip-Hop Debate‘. I was LMAOROTFL at Bush’s moves. (image jacked from Deb since I was too trifling to make my own.)oves.

The Creative Math Behind Elections
There’s a good article in the November Wired entitled “The Creative Math Behind Elections.” It breaks down the pros and cons of six different voting methods (plurality, instant runoff, Borda count, cumulative, approval, electoral college). You’ve gotta love this comment about the electoral college method: “It’s an embarrassing relic”. While none of the systems are… Continue reading The Creative Math Behind Elections

KRS-ONE Cheered 9/11?
I usually agree with much of what Kris says but every once in a while he goes just a little too far. This is via the EUR: Prince isn’t the only artist ruffling feathers over 9/11-related issues. While serving as a panelist at The New Yorker Festival earlier this month, KRS-One blew the discussion out… Continue reading KRS-ONE Cheered 9/11?
I’ve Been Assimilated
A few weeks ago Anil mentioned the semi-cult that is the book and methodology ‘Getting Things Done’ (GTD). I don’t know how I’d never heard of this 3-year old book, but I guess it’s better late than never. After researching the book I knew I had to read it. I ordered it along with the… Continue reading I’ve Been Assimilated
