Fabulous #architecture from MPLUSM Architects. My fave: House in Athens, Greece. (sigh) I dream.
I’m doing it. No more playing around. I’m manning up. I’m doing the old man schedule.What is this strange schedule I speak of? Why would I just to be an old man? Well, its not just any old man we’re talking about here people. It’s Benjamin Franklin. I want to do what this ripe nose bespectacled…
TIMELESS.
What fun one could have! The sculptor in me can hardly control himself.
Check it: Dutch digital-manufacturing company Snijlab has created an altogether new type of material: folding wood, which can bend back and forth without snapping.
That’s why I’m participating in “A Light Goes On : An album of music and art that will be offered as a free download and also handed out on flash drives.” I’ll be creating some artwork inspired by a song composed by one of the amazing musicians on the album.
Sound good? Well great! We’d love you to get involved as well! Totally not-for-profit, and any additional money given past the goal will be donated to www.water.org

I remind them of the world financial collapse that took place in 2008. And that it was caused by intentional fraud on many layers of the banking system aided and abetted by the government.
I point out that the ex head of Goldman Sachs was the treasury secretary when it happened.
I point out that the current treasury secretary was the head of the NY fed when the fraud collapsed.
I point out that the bankers were bailed out by their cronies. I point out that the money came from taxpayers.
I then point out that the same bankers involved in the fraud and collapse then gave themselves huge bonuses. And the same banks are withholding credit from small businesses.
I then point out that GE paid no taxes, is sitting on 80 billion dollars and is a big friend of the current president. They obviously don’t need a tax cut to raise revenue to create jobs.
I then point out that we are fighting wars and borrowing from china to pay for them. Rather than raise taxes.
I then point out that the government is now asking the middle class and the working class to suffer all of the financial pain (no new taxes for the rich) thus robbing them twice. Once with the bailout and also with cuts to pell grants and other programs that aid the middle class.
I then point out that this is exactly the problem and they should join in rather than listen to the MSM [?] which is owned by the very criminals who rob us blind and get bonuses for it.

One of my favorite verses from the good book.
Really enjoying Brand New’s album “The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me”. Track #3… titled “Jesus Christ” is so good. Good for thinking. For anyone. We all think it. We all ask it.
Cute and clever. You never know….
Chief executives at the nation’s largest corporations received $9.25 million in average total compensation in 2009.
Disgusting.
This is a pretty alarming info-graphic as well:
