If you haven’t seen this video, you must give it a watch. Well worth it.

Bob Dylan - With God On Our Side

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Bob Dylan is surely one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived. This may be my new favorite song.

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! - The Single Best Libertarian TV Show Ever.

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I don’t really feel like explaining right now, but you must watch this show. It is well worth your time. If you’re a libertarian, or a freedom-minded individual, you will fall in love with it instantly. If you’re not, it will challenge the way you think about everything.

Check out some random episodes I was able to find around the web:

War on Drugs

Recycling

PETA
BULLSHIT!!! (PETA Episode)

By the time you’re reading this, some of those episodes may have been taken offline. However, you can still click here to download seasons one through four via BitTorrent. The whole thing is rather large, but most sane clients will allow you to download one file at a time. Trust me, it’s worth your time.

This is an excellent must-read article by John Bloom about the history of Juries. You should read it.

Ron Paul Book Bomb: Update

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

RonPaulBookBomb.com, which announced Dr. Paul’s new book around midnight, The Revolution: A Manifesto.  The stated goal of the website is to make Ron Paul’s book into an instant bestseller, and so far it looks like it’s working.  So far, over 1000 pledges have been collected, which has caused the book to rapidly move from being unranked on Amazon.com to positions #629, #516, #345 and now to #193!

Will the Book Bomb cause Dr. Paul to break into the top 100 or top 10?  Only time will tell, but it depends on how many people pledge and pre-order today.

Ron Paul Revolution Radio

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

I love the free market.  First there was Ron Paul Radio, and now someone has created Ron Paul Revolution Radio.  Each has its own set of programming, but the latter really stands out in terms of its professionalism and content.  These guys really deserve a listen.

Why You Should Hate The FCC

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Have I mentioned that Tim Swanson and B.K. Marcus are two of my heroes?  The first time I read B.K. Marcus’s piece on why spectrum should be private property, I almost had a Glenn Beck moment.  If you’ve ever thought for a second that the FCC might be good thing for America, you must read these two articles:

Every American has been screwed by the FCC.  A vast, vast majority of them will never know just how much they’ve been affected, but sadly they all have and will pay the price.

New Car Sensor System Simulates Birds-Eye View

Saturday, October 13th, 2007

“Remember when you had to turn around in your seat to parallel park? Ok, maybe you still do, but if you drive a Nissan, those days may soon be behind you. The company’s ‘Around View Monitor system’ displays a virtual bird’s-eye view of the car and what’s around it. Video from four small video cameras with wide-angle lenses — two mounted on the underside of the wing mirrors, one at the front under the grill and one at the rear under the license plate — is displayed on the navigation system monitor so that it appears to be a view from above the car and sonar sensors at each corner of the vehicle provide an audible warning when it is coming close to an object or person. And as if that weren’t enough… the system also projects the car’s future course based on the current direction of the wheels.”

My Counsin Hung Out With Hugh Grant

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

A huge uproar of media attention followed after my cousin and a few of her friends hung out with Hugh Grant this weekend. This whole thing cracks me up… Cecilia Hoffman (my cousin) apparently met Hugh Grant at a pub and hung out with him and a few of her friends for a little while… pictures were taken, Cecilia posted them on Facebook, and suddenly the UK media went berserk over it, spinning Hugh as a dirty old man and Cecilia as the Catholic school girl he was flirting with.

Hugh Grant and Cecilia Hoffman

There are now over 43 articles about it in tabloids and newspapers around the world.
