The Credit Crisis Explained

I thought this video was very helpful.  I hope he puts another one out on Zombie Banks, I still can't figure out what they are exactly.

On The Use of Existentialism in Education

"Ok, class, perhaps you could try 'non-being' so loud?"  
There's a joke here because most of me wants to cry, wad paper, spit at things.  I really do have a paper on existentialism and education due tomorrow, and right now the actual usefullness of Existentialism in Education is still pretty non-being.  
I'm taking a break for a few minutes to blog about what I did this weekend when I should have been writing, which was spending a rainy Saturday in Union Park watching the Pitchfork festival.  My favorite set was Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound), who reminds me more than any other artist of Bjork.  He may be a skinny young man from Georgia who sounds like he listened to a lot of Byrds records, but his interest in developing new and unusual sound and blurring the line between pop and ambient music is really inspiring.

What's going on today?

The US has apparently quit the UN Human Rights Council on a busy news day, and nobody is reporting on it.
