Sorry

Sorry for the lack of blogging and leaving my thoughts on Capitalism hanging. It’s been a busy few days. I’ll pick up my thoughts on Capitalism soon. I wrote 2 posts about alternatives but then deleted them. And then I picked up a book (The Starfish And The Spider) that talks a lot about decentralized [...]

Video Blog

This was originally intended to be a Christmas video. But I never got around to it and didn’t shoot enough footage. So it’s just a mix of some of the stuff I shot during the holidays and this month. Enjoy.

Jack, Anna, & Me

My super-talented-amazing-crazy-go-lucky-wife took some superb pictures of me and Jack while on a little hike yesterday.

I took some pictures of her and Jack but they were with my low-fi lomography camera and won’t be developed for a while.
In related photography news, my good pal Leslie has her photography site up and running and it’s amazing [...]

Mika - Life In Cartoon Motion

I interrupt your weekend activities to tell you about one of the best bands I’ve heard in a long time . . . Mika. They also have the coolest website I’ve seen in a long time. I head them today in the car and thought the song Grace Kelly was amazing and unique. Especially in [...]

Doggie-Dooley Installation

So this is what I installed today. Except this is it pre-installation (after installation it sits below the ground). I had to dig a whole 48 inches deep (which is 4 feet by my estimation). This wouldn’t have been that hard had I not been forced to abandon my first attempt at a whole when [...]

Great New Site

This is a great site I stumbled across this morning. And have spent about an hour thumbing through. I found it via CoolPeopleCare.org (which is another great site - especially their daily email feature).
Anyway, check out Idealist.org. It looks like its going to be a great resource in networking with other local, like-minded people. They’re [...]

reimagining Capitalism (part three B: or open-source Linux-like Capitalism)

Ok. I’m a nerd and I was just thinking. This is an addendum to my post earlier today.
Capitalism is like Microsoft or Windows. reimagining capitalism is like Linux.
One is a virtual monopoly. Built and created for a closed system.
Linux is open-source. Profits are not the goal. But the free and available use for all who [...]

reimagining Capitalism (part three)

part one
part two

My next thought has to do with organizations and systems. I feel like this is where a business can begin to lose it’s focus and vision.
Because lets be honest, most businesses don’t start off treating their employees poorly. Disregarding environmental issues. Making a sub par product. Providing poor customer service.
When a business starts [...]
