Progress

In 1979, Sony introduced the Walkman, the first portable music player. It weighed 14 ounces and cost $200. It could play a cassette that could hold about 90 minutes of music. It was a little bigger than a cassette. It was pretty ugly.

A new nano from Apple was announced yesterday. It weighs less than an ounce. The 8GB model is $149. It holds about 60 hours of music. It is smaller than a matchbook. It is very beautiful.

Talking about Fear the Boom and Bust

Here’s a brief (about 18 minutes) Mercatus Center podcast where I talk about Fear the Boom and Bust and talk about economics education generally.

Welcome to the future

In Brad Paisley’s song, Welcome to the Future, he sings about the glories of innovation and ties it to the evolution of the civil society. OK, he wouldn’t use those words, but you get the idea:

When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight-hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I’d have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I’ve got it on my phone

American Saturday Night

In these xenophobic times, I just heard Brad Paisley singing American Saturday Night a song that came out last year. The closest thing you’ll hear to a pro-trade, pro-immigration pop song:

She’s got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car
Listen to the Beatles singing Back in the USSR
Yeah, she’s goin’ around the world tonight
But she ain’t leavin here
She’s just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair

David Seagull - Live, "Angel Nights and Ruined Days"

Beautiful, heartfelt, truth from my good friend David. This is my favorite type of music. You can hear more of his music and some comedy on David's YouTube channel.

Imagine!


Sweetwater looks like a great place to work!

Sweetwater sells audio and music equipment. Our sales rep sent me a link to a virtual tour of their new facilities which look awesome. I wonder if they have any openings...


David Seagull's YouTube Channel

Check out my friend David Seagull's awesome tune "Troubled Times." There's also a hilarious skit "My Peonies" on his YouTube channel. I hope to see many more videos from David.

Zechariah 12:8

In that day shall Jehovah defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them.

The "here" is everywhere, and the now always. Go beyond the "I-am-the-body" idea and you will find that space and time are in you and not you in space and time. Once you have understood this, the main obstacle to realization is removed.
