DJ Z-Trip Obama Mix for the 2008 Election
Really cool politically themed mix for the 2008 Election. Its pretty long (about 55 mins) but just listen to part of it. Good mix of great music and clips from Obama, McCain, Bush, and others.

Recently, Shepard Fairey and I threw some fundraisers for the Obama campaign. We called them “The Party for...
The changing times in “Mad Men” are similar to today:
Interviewer: …Their media world is changing like ours.
Matthew Weiner (Creator of Mad Men): The Internet is as much a shakeup to advertising as television was. What Duck says about selling airtime and not being responsible to the client for the success of the product – “Why should we be? Why should we guarantee them higher...

This is how we're viewed in the workplace
The ‘Trophy Kids’ Go to Work
(my suggested soundtrack for when you read this article)
With Wall Street in turmoil and a financial system in crisis mode, companies are facing another major challenge: figuring out how to manage a new crop of young people in the work force — the millennial generation. Born between 1980 and 2001, the millennials were coddled by their parents...

Outside view on the election
To get a unbiased look on the election, it helps to read the international press. In a clear, non-partisan way that points out his flaws (inexperience, trade, etc.) the Financial Times of London spells out exactly why I’m voting for Obama.
Obama is the better choice

Waiting for Nov. 4th
By Larry David
Posted October 22, 2008 | 06:44 PM (EST)
I can’t take much more of this. Two weeks to go, and I’m at the end of my rope. I can’t work. I can eat, but mostly standing up. I’m anxious all the time and taking it out on my ex-wife, which, ironically, I’m finding enjoyable. This is like waiting for the results of a biopsy. Actually, it’s...

David Bax learns some important lessons from the late Hollywood Legend
…The first lesson in manliness I learned from Paul Newman was that great men will go unappreciated. The second lesson I learned was that when men aren’t doing the one thing they’re great at (and there can be only one), they drink.

The 19 Most Ridiculous Moments From the VP Debate
CRACKED.com: The VP debate didn’t really go as anyone planned. Sarah Palin didn’t fall flat on her face, and Joe Biden didn’t appear to open his eyes over the course of the entire evening. Last night didn’t go as planned for our columnists either. They still got blind drunk, as is their custom on days of the week after Monday. But we made them get drunk at home, and in front of the most hotly...

I know damn near every person on this list.
If you’re on the internet, which you are, by the way, you’ve probably got a profile on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LiveJournal, Craigs List or all of the above, enjoying the company of hundreds of friends who you know will never ask to borrow your car.
Unfortunately, people from your past are looking for you. People you had hoped would...

Jackson Browne at the Schnitz
Me and every other Portland resident over the age of 50 saw Jackson Browne play at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall last night.
“Time the Conqueror” - His New Album
Even though Jackson Browne is older, his voice sounds exactly the same:
Caught between the longing for love And the struggle for the legal tender Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring And the junk man...
