good morning, but a cold morning. Thanks to KUDO in the morning; good tunes, good talk.
Good luck obama; seems like you're choosing smart people and know how to lead them in a five to eight year mission of finding a good way through crisis's's s.
big brother? are you willing to give up the safe inefficiencies of the past?
I'm listening to Obama - saying green tech, smart grid, public + private sector jobs, competitive cheap internet.
The Recovery from Recession Plan.
Unprecedented Effort, Making Tough Choices.
Getting our house in order - not just creating new government departments.
Summon that spirit.
what's good for the country my children will inherit *GOLD
*Gold.
2009.
My classes for spring semester: Social Psychology, Persuasion, Java Programming, Intro. to Mathematical Proofs, and the usual assortment of one credit distractions.
Our homes haven't lost value. Not really. The crisis is in each other. Our trust.
Cary Carrigan is right - Home Equity Lines of Credit, the Credit Crisis, and the eternal squeeze the rich put on the middle class, have all conspired to sell everything we have for cheap because we can't work hard enough and save enough to own all of this country we've inherited.
So, good luck everybody, lets get going.

Snowzilla's Friends

well, details forthcoming on that one.
My friend Snowzilla wanted me to pass this video along. OMG, as they say.
Here's the original version: the commentary in the above video doesn't actually follow the language of what they actually say.

Merry X-mas and Happy New Deal
Resolved:
This house is our house.
I admit that some part of me is still scared as ever it once most was. I'll even admit that I wish I could lie and say I need changes in my life, but just a bit more here and there. Really, I know with the few important things that a bit more is good, but won't do for long (relatively speaking of course). But, fact is that I can't behold the future me as progress if I drag all the heaviest chains with me as I go there.
There will always be one or two killer things that we need help making good choices on. Similarly, there will always be a few sacred places that we're on the verge of finding. In other words, there will always be a few things to stay away from and a few things to run towards.
I'll dare to endeavor and better whatever those things are every day. Meanwhile, to become that superhero I've always dreamed, I'll not let life's attempts to fasten my joy to smaller and smaller things get me down. I'll know if I've succeeded if I ever become drowned in those fears and various giant sorrows and still manage to pull myself up to do good for myself and humankind, Earthkind - even if it's just when it matters the most.
After all, pain and pleasure aren't intrinsic to the omniverse - they're relative to how we learn about them and how we re-perceive them every day. Knowing this, I recommend seeking the humility to enjoy the finer things more and more (the really rich things that get better with age and build our health to greater and greater carrying capacities). Doing this of course, is much easier if you're verily open to new ideas; practice that.
