Confusing Economics
A nice digestible explanation on why the economy is in its current crisis and why we as citizens need to become more educated about these things.

April 4, 1968
Great discussion on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Michael Eric Dyson on the 40th anniverssary of King's assassination. Plus a very on point criticism of the backlash against Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the black church.

Body of War
A look at why it should be important for the public to truly see what is happening to those being afflicted by the war in Iraq.

Audacity of government
Why am I so harsh on the Bush administration and firmly believe it has been the worst thing for America? Here's another example.

The Kerner Commission
An interesting look back at America's first attempt to really look at racism in America.

» Previously Contemplated...
The Age of American Unreason
It just seems like the masses are getting dumber and dumber. What is the explanation for it? I've turned to susan Jacoby for a possible explanation for it.

A Brave New World
If this is the path our world is headed, I guess I should refresh my understanding.

Where Does the Money Go? Your Guided to the Federal Budget Crisis
Because I'd like to know and you should to. Now if we could get our government to read it.

photo gallery

Welcome to the pic gallery. Prior to 2005 most of the pictures here were taken with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S70. I picked up a Fuji FinePix Z1 for the Europe trip and will be the camera used for most of the pics from 2005 on. Of course, until I actually get that dSLR :) I like to fancy myself as an amateur photographer so most of these images will look... well like some amateur took them. I have attempted to inject some artsy stylings, but for the most part it's just me pointing and clicking at things I thought looked cool. So please, enjoy! If you have any tips, suggestions or comments on the pics seen here or digital photography in general, please drop me a line via e-mail or visit the contact page and fill out the feedback form.
