I would love if someone you point me in a direction. Im following the opinion section from the NYTimes mostly David Brooks, Paul Krugman, and Thomas Friedman. I’ve started reading the New Yorker. I just finished a great article in The Atlantic from David Goldhill. I also am subscribing to some feed like John Gruber, and Seth Godin. Anyone has any suggestion?</p>http://recycledspace.com/post/300676362http://recycledspace.com/post/300676362Fri, 25 Dec 2009 22:20:56 -0500<a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200909/health-care">How American Health Care Killed My Father - The Atlantic (September 2009) by David Goodhill</a>: <p>Great article about American Health Care. I do agree with most of his points. One thing that always bothered me in this “conversation” about health ?care? is how consumers are not at the center of the reform. The second most important argument should be about controlling cost the medical procedure. You should be able to see your bill online ala Mint. Oh well.</p>http://recycledspace.com/post/300572975http://recycledspace.com/post/300572975Fri, 25 Dec 2009 20:49:00 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pS1WALmBqUw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pS1WALmBqUw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>I would love to see the technical side on how they created this.

During this season, we are actively encouraged to get more stuff, buy more stuff, give stuff to those we “love”, and be thankful for the stuff we have.</p> <p>This Friday, for instance, sellers of stuff will drop prices to all time lows in order to make it easier for you to give and receive this stuff. Of course, this is in the hopes that the money saved on this stuff will encourage you to buy other non-discounted stuff. You know this, of course, right? You cherry pick the cheap stuff and leave the other stuff for the suckers, right? Of course you do…</p> <p>All of this stuff will generate a bunch of stuff to be thrown away or recycled. Wrapping, packaging, spent gift cards – they all have to end up somewhere. Not to mention all of the stuff we had to build and machines we run in order to make the stuff we give and receive.Then once the season is over, in fact the very next day, comes the inevitable stuff we have to return (for cash to buy stuff if you have the receipt, exchange for different stuff if not).</p> <p>Just try to remember that there are plenty of ways to deal with this stuff. You can pledge to get rid of an amount of stuff equal to the amount you receive. You can let those who love you know that you do not want more stuff but want something less tangible instead (breakfast in bed, money for a favorite charity, etc.). Ask for specific stuff you really truly need that will add years of value to your life on a daily basis… and stuff. The point is, control the stuff. Don’t let the stuff control you.</p> </blockquote> <p>I don’t want stuff… I just want a new macbook pro, the 13” one, it’s not too big to ask</p>http://recycledspace.com/post/257264345http://recycledspace.com/post/257264345Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:07:29 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktljgwr4Z11qasg16o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>FRESHJIVE - PROPAGANDIST :: HOPE IS FADING FAST</p>http://recycledspace.com/post/255215060http://recycledspace.com/post/255215060Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:36:32 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktkyl2VRjr1qasg16o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is what I would like to see right now…</p>http://recycledspace.com/post/254701033http://recycledspace.com/post/254701033Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:05:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktizd64YuU1qasg16o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dance / Engineering project at #UVA coming Monday @ 8pm in the Helms Theatre.
