- How the financial collapse killed libertarianism
The editor-in-chief at Slate blames the collapse on libertarians who "are intellectually immature, frozen in the worldview many of them absorbed from reading Ayn Rand novels in high school". Powerful stuff. - Powell's endorsement
A video worth watching. Powell is polite, rational, has a shrewd analysis of the campaign and sums up what I have been hearing from many of my friends - of each political persuasion - about the US election. As Lessig says, an important milestone. - Boybama - Battleground for Your Heart
Some people have waaaay too much time on their hands. Pretty good song actually, all things considered, especially the rap break. Personally I can do without the video but then I'm not the target audience. - Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy - Lawrence Lessig
Lessig's new book is out - can't wait to read it. Amazingly I am in roughly the right place to attend the launch party on October 29.
