Listening to Obama's acceptance speech last night, I couldn't help but draw parallels between Lincoln (which he talked about), FDR, and him. I suppose to leave out Washington is historically inaccurate, but I don't know enough to draw those conclusions. This is not to say ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/11/05/no-fear/ Thanks for stopping by. If you have arrived here, you probably already know about the Open Forum Foundation. You can visit that there. On the off chance that you aren't familiar with it -- check it out! I could gush about it, but I'll let it speak for itself. Me? That has ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/09/16/hello/ In the same book that I referred to last post, Gut Feelings by Gerd Gigerenzer, there is a section titled 'Not Knowing the Rules Can Change the Rules' in which he discusses the advantage that people unaware of the current rules have to make significant social change (p. 220-222). He puts ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/08/28/blessed-ignorance/ I'm reading a book called Gut Feelings by Gerd Gigerenzer. Fascinating. In his prelude to the discussion on how transparency creates trust, he quotes Alan Greenspan (p 215). These are fabulous! What do ya' think? "If I seem unduly clear to you, you must have misunderstood what I said." - to a ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/08/27/obfuscation/ Goodness gracious. I have been struggling with naming this elusive nonprofit that I'm trying to start almost since its inception! The good news is I think I've finally figured it out: The Open Forum Foundation What do you think? Is it too similar to some other organization that I'm not thinking of ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/08/06/naming-help/ Life is so simple, until you live it. http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/07/23/life/ Well, that's the question I'm trying to answer and here's the progress: As I told you before, I think I over did it on my first day. The second day I wore my new glasses for an hour and even that was pushing it, so I back off for awhile - ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/07/14/can-i-see/ Chris said yesterday (I'm paraphrasing): "We need to stop trying to be, and just spend our time being." http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/07/09/trying-or-being/ Well, here's the first update on the experiment. It felt good at first, but I went too far. I wore the new glasses for about 2 1/2 hours, and methinks it was way too much. That's when the headaches became pretty darn strong, and I had to 'take a break' ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/07/01/rough-day/ I'm doing something crazy. Is that news? Perhaps not, but here's the plan: I just ordered new glasses from an online seller. Infathomably, they were $19 (plus shipping). To keep it interesting, I ordered them with a weaker prescription than I probably should have to work on improving my sight and ... http://waynemosesburke.com/2008/06/30/better-vision/
