A $160,000 Ferrari literally wrapped itself around a telegraph pole after its driver lost control in Adelaide, Australia. The driver and his passenger walked away from the crash with minor injuriesPosted by on under light switches, girls just want to have fun, garbage, crash, trash |

Maybe if our light switches were rigged to continuously stream clips of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,’” we’d be a little more [...]Posted by on under mysterious circumstances, tiger woods, glee, friday morning, strengths and weaknesses, timeliness, crash, tiger, real time, perspective |
As you likely know, Tiger Woods was in an accident under apparently mysterious circumstances early Friday morning. Predictably, the reports and reactions thereto pertaining varied somewhat in quality and timeliness, and predictably, this has led to paroxysms of futurist glee in some and sullen condemnation by others. Now that the smoke has cleared, we can examine the event, which is certainly worth a little inspection despite its obvious triviality, with a little perspective. I'm not going to speculate on Woods' injuries, the cause of the crash, or rumors of fights and affairs. I don't care, personally. But how the information proliferated makes for interesting dissection. And the fun part is that there's something for everybody's agenda! Many will choose to ignore or emphasize unduly one party's role in this drama, but the fact is that it very neatly exposes both the strengths and weaknesses of both traditional and so-called new media. I hope you're sitting comfortably.

In "Fear the Boom and Bust," John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek perform a gangsta rap about their competing economic theories: John Maynard Keynes, wrote the book on modern macro The man you need when the economy's off track, [whoa] Depression, recession now your question's in session Have a seat and I'll school you in one simple lesson BOOM, 1929 the big crash We didn't bounce back--economy's in the trash Persistent unemployment, the result of sticky wages Waiting for recovery? Seriously? That's outrageous! I had a real plan any fool can understand The advice, real simple--boost aggregate demand! C, I, G, all together gets to Y Make sure the total's growing, watch the economy fly "Fear the Boom and Bust" a Hayek vs. Keynes Rap Anthem (Thanks, Dmiff!)
