Blog Name Change

So, I decided to change the name and address of my blog. I mean, I didn't really tell many people I had a blog to begin with. However, for those of you I did tell, and randomly visited the website, I had to change. I wanted to gain a slightly stronger level of anonymity with my blog. As a result, here's the new version.

You are probably wondering what's up with the title and the million repeat posts (no no I wasn't trying to mimic a double mint gum commercial). I had some technical difficulties associated with the importing of a few posts. I hope you like the new blog. I will try to add more video blogs (Vlogs) too.


With regards to the title, I was inspired by the popular Koan:

Before I sought enlightenment, the mountains were mountains and the rivers were rivers.

While I sought enlightenment, the mountains were not mountains and the rivers were not rivers.

After I reached satori, the mountains were mountains and the rivers were rivers.


I hope you enjoy the new version. Feel free to comment as I get a few posts going.

First Presidential Address

Some really good stuff in Obama's first presidential address. I'd recommend listening to the first 15 minutes for a good sense of why the stimulus package is a good idea at the moment.

Depression Era Policies Reborn?

Great Article by the Economist. Really hits at why nationalism in trade and labor is inevitably a bad thing. Nationalist protectionism seems to be coming from both sides of the aisle. Let's just hope the Obama administration and Congress are not tempted to look at (questionable) short-term gain at the cost of the U.S. and entire global economy.

Two-finger handstand

Geez, talk about some strong fingers. How do you even train for something like this?
