17.Aug.2010 Quote – The Red Herring Crusade against For-Profit Colleges
our aim is not to defend the questionable practices of for-profit colleges, but rather to draw attention to the fact that colleges of every stripe are soaking up tons of societal resources and saddling students with excessive debt loads in the face of dubious job prospects. “The Red Herring Crusade Against For-Profit Colleges” by Daniel [...]
29.Jul.2010 Nice Design – Moxsie
I ordered a pair of shoes on the cheap from Moxsie.com and just received them. Check out the awesome packaging (this is right out of the exterior shipping box): And a coupon?!

Unfortunately, a huge majority of topics, sources and subjects were unusable (after all, [...]
24.Feb.2010 Welcome to Straighterline.com
A few months ago (Sept 09, “All you can learn for 99 bucks a month”) I wrote about Straighterline.com after reading about them in the Washington Monthly. I was floored by the concept (floored=positive). It was everything I thought about higher education rolled up into a company. A working, growing business. On a whim, I [...]
23.Feb.2010 Quote – Chris Anderson
Now, working within a company often imposes higher transaction costs than running a project online. Why turn to the person who happens to be in the next cubicle when it’s just as easy to turn to an online community member from a global marketplace of talent?
