What would make Marx better? How about an economics Rock Band! (That's Red Shadow kids!)



Thanks to the ever cognizant Jake, who recommends only wonderful things.

Globalization

As we enter these later days of GM's existence, it's worthwhile to pause and consider just how much better the Asians do everything that Westerners think they can do. (And without the help of the government either!)

Further Adventures in Choirs

This is a superb idea:

In the same key as Mournful Oatmeal

Stuff that's good

Finals week presses closer and everything shifts into wierdly comfortable stressful-freakout. In lieu of more substantive and interesting posts, here are some good things to look at:

1.) Good profile in the Times of Lewis Hyde, author of The Gift and more recently proponent of copyright reform. It's really really good. (Props to Eagan for pointing it out.)

2.) A piece from the Atlantic about Reinhold Niebuhr and his legacy... super interesting, particularly given Obama's admiration for the guy's thinking.

3.) Yes, it is in fact possible to mention derivatives and aporia in the same article.

4.) Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Winter in Toronto has so far been a stop-again-start-again kind of thing. Usually it will snow and then rain and then be merely cold, and nothing gets particularly pretty. That is, until this morning, when it started snowing and everything looked beautiful and I got off the subway and wandering between the victorian buildings, decided I live in paradise.

Run on sentences.

This weekend I am going to go take pictures of my daily haunts. So stay tuned to this channel, kids!
