I really enjoyed this TED talk. Your kids will thank you for watching the video (and not crushing their creativity).

What an excellent company. They came out to our house and did a free termite inspection. They wouldn’t take any money.

We’ll certainly use them again.

I find it hard not to smile while watching this video/song:

You can buy the song here.

I’m digging this song by Steve Dore. How great is it that people are so passionate about a presidential candidate that they’re signing about him?

I recently met someone who described himself as an anarcho-capitalist. I had never heard the term before so I asked him if he was some kind of anarchist. He replied that he was basically against coercive monopolies. That seemed pretty reasonable. Who would be in favor of coercive monopolies? He later recommended this book by David Friedman.

This book addresses all kinds of interesting topics such as the economics of how to privatize roads, the police, the courts, and even laws. I greatly enjoyed reading this book.

This book by Timothy Ferriss is subtitled “Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich”.

It’s a pretty interesting book with a number of fascinating ideas about how people can adjust their lifestyles. I think many of his ideas work.

The problem I had with the book is that it’s chock full of lessons in how to deceive people. It seems to me that the methods the author proposes would work just fine without the lies.

This is a pretty addictive game. I’ve been playing it with 2 of my kids. It’s been quite enjoyable to see them learning some of the strategies. Check it out.

It was pretty eye-opening to see how many issues there are that both conservatives and liberals get wrong. Freedom really does cross party lines.

Ron Paul is an excellent writer.

Formano’s is a great deli in Garner, North Carolina that serves breakfast and lunch. It’s a nice place and it’s clean. I like to eat outside in their big covered area.

This is about where Formano’s is on Google Maps. It’s pretty close to the Dairy Queen.

This autobiography by James Dyson is an excellent book about product design, entrepreneurship, perseverance, and how to create a successful business. James Dyson has invented and brought to market a number of products including the Ballbarrow, a number of very successful vacuum cleaners, the Sea Truck line of boats, and a washing machine.

It was fascinating to read about how he designs products and how he refines his ideas over time. His techniques can be applied to any creative work and I highly recommend this book.

We all have ideas for products all the time. Most of these ideas stay at the “wouldn’t it be great if” stage and are never pursued. Reading this book made me want to design a coffee maker. :)

Dr. John Wooten is a pediatric neurologist at Raleigh Neurology. I think he’s an excellent doctor. Here’s why:

• He is considered by many to be an expert in the field.
• He is a patient person and can sit with patients for a long time answering their questions. You never feel rushed or pressured to finish the appointment. This helps patients feel much better about the appointment.
• He’s a good listener. He actually listens to your questions.
• He recognizes that he and others in the medical field don’t know everything and he readily admits when the medical community doesn’t know something.
• He doesn’t see an informed patient as a challenge to his authority like many doctors seem to nowadays. Instead, he encourages people to read and learn and he’s willing to discuss those findings.
• He encourages patients to seek a second opinion which gives me even more confidence in his abilities.

This is my new favorite song:

You can also see the video on the YouTube site if you’d like.

I think this is the scariest film I’ve ever seen. Please watch it. It’s left me speechless. Is it time for civil disobedience?

Aaron Russo did an incredible job making this film.

There is a doctor in this practice named William S Ketcham. He was rude and obnoxious and our family will never return to this dermatologist. What a ridiculous experience.
