It’s been said that capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the rest.
The power and success of capitalism come from the fact that it tends to channel self-interest in ways that benefit society. A capitalist produces what people want, because that’s what people will buy. If he’s not able to produce one thing [...]

In Russell Brunson’s 100 Million Dollar Challenge, he says that the role of an entrepreneur is (among other things) to spend as much money as possible. His point is valid, but I can’t agree entirely.

There are plenty of people to blame in the current mortgage meltdown — executives who took huge salaries while building a feeble house of financial cards, buyers who bit off more than they could chew, betting that home prices would only continue to rise, etc. In the talk of how to solve the problem, one [...]

The first time I saw Sarah Palin, she struck me as an intelligent, well-spoken person who had her head on straight. I’m not saying that I was ready to call myself a Republican again, but I was impressed. (BTW, I’m not calling myself a Democrat either, just so that you know).

It’s 1:30 am, and I just came in from checking out Jupiter and four of its moons in my little telescope. It was even cooler than when I first looked at Saturn just after getting the telescope a few months ago.
The moment it appeared in the eyepiece, before even focusing, I immediately recognized what I’d [...]

Ever wonder just how much of a problem spam email is? To give you an idea, here in no particular order are the 1,231 IP addresses from which my email server received at least 3 messages sent to invalid addresses within a single 5 minute period over the course of 4 hours.

A few days ago, John Reese posted the following on Twitter:
“i used to think libertarians were a bit wacky but now I’m really starting to see that a lot of what they believe makes sense / ‘grant me the freedom to do whatever I want unless it infringes on the freedom of others.’ it’s essentially [...]

AWeber is a great service, and for the most part I’m very happy with it. But it does have a few irritating problems. Here’s my list of the worst. Have any pet peeves that aren’t listed? Share them in the comments.
Just Plain Wrong
There’s one feature where my complaint isn’t just a matter of opinion — [...]
