Ralph Nader visited USC today. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it, but I hope someone got it on video and will post it. I’ll ask some friends about it sometime

Dear Friends:
The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived.
We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment is to be allowed. By doing more of the same, we will only continue and intensify the distortions in our economy – all the capital misallocation, all the malinvestment – and prevent the market’s attempt to re-establish rational pricing of houses and other assets.

I’m using K2 with Psychic Search, and my blog looked a bit weird for users coming from search engines. The tag specified a class that was completely messed up. It showed Related Posts along with some keywords. I was confused, thinking it was caused by one of the Related Posts plugins I had installed.

Typed it up before I realized it’s not part of our readings.
A socket is an endpoint for communication. In Java, Connection-oriented (TCP) sockets are implemented with the Socket class, Connectionless (UDP) sockets use the DatagramSocket class, and MulticastSocket, a subclass of DatagramSocket, allows data to be sent to multiple recipients. The loopback is 127.0.0.1.
I refuse to vote for a candidate who doesn’t discuss this issue honestly. Watch Ron Paul now. And on MSNBC, Ron Paul discusses the national debt. (He also mentions the situation regarding Hurricane Ike, which hit near where he lives in Texas.)

I’m hearing a lot about the Great Depression in the news recently. The stock market fell 400 points, people are losing jobs. But what nobody’s mentioning is the fact that the Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression. Obviously, there are some who disagree, but you’ll have to look at the facts and decide for yourself. I did.

I randomly decided to search for Brain Tuner iPhone on Google to see who might be talking about my app, and I found that someone has done a good video review! So if you have a few minutes, watch it:
On the way back to my apartment, I was listening to AM 740, “K-Bright” KBRT. Today is September 11, 2008. They had a special feature in which they recounted the events of September 11, 2001. As they talked about plane crashes, the actions of the FAA, the buildings collapsing… tears welled up in my eyes. But no tears fell yet.
I’m reading Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, Third Edition, by Aaron Hillegass. In Chapter 1, he has a section called How to Learn. I think this applies well to any subject, whether it’s computer programming or art history. And this is a great section containing ideas I should implement the next time I do a computer programming class. Aaron writes: Read the rest of this entry »
