Are We Running Out of Resources
I’m reposting this from LRC. It is an interesting note to bring up when discussions about resources running out, come up at a dinner party. While not perfect, conservation of resources comes built into the price-economic calculation.

Remembrance Day
Update: My sincere apologies for blogging for not fact checking before posting. Apparently Poland’s occupation by her neighbors officially only lasted 123 years rather than 200. However the partitioning of Poland’s borders started before that time, so my initial past may not far off. Still I apologize about that error. Today is Rememberance Day. Originally…

Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Remember, remember the 5th of November. A very merry Guy Fawkes Day to ye all! Some thoughts: Anarchism isn’t about blowing things.

I’ll Be Right On It
It is a bit early in the morning to come up with material to write about. And I did not get much sleep this night. Today I probably wouldn’t be able to stop yawning. And insane amounts of coffee will only keep me from trying to take a nap on the new office’s couch. All…

A Free Society Needs a Free Market and Free Software

The book consists of a number of interesting, well-written essays on the philosophy and history of the free software movement. Most people heard of open source as a practical development paradigm and distribution method. Eric Raymond’s “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” describes…
