Stimulus money, again.

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Stimulus money.

Big and complex. If easy, it wouldn’t be such a drag nor material for intense debate.
Some abstractions can be made to see it simply and get at least a bit from it. Figure this: Bank lends to Person. Person cannot pay. Person loses house. Bank loses money. Bank can go kaput. Government gives people tax money to dumb Bank. Bank’s saved. Person’s not. How lame. That without considering the government overhead that implies giving money to the bank. What if the government just lends the money to Person? A win-win probably?

to blog or not to blog

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

It’s mainly due to uncle Bob Martin’s twit on how lame we as a society become in terms of not speaking our minds due to unreasonable extreme politeness that I decided  stop procrastinating and write.

It is said we shouldn’t be talking or writing about politics, religion, abortion, drug legalization, gender changing, or other society sensible issue  if you want to keep friends.

When it comes to opinionated Ruby programming code bloging is more complicated. My friends and I can become quite judgmental and hurt mutual feelings, but friends are mine to keep as I love them and they probably do back.

I stand as a democrat but when it comes to guns, abortion and economy I divert from some of the core values.

In other venue of things I am not a mac nor a PC, but a Linux, with Ubuntu as my preferred distro. And btw, a vim rather than an emacs.
That said, Write on!

Keep tuned for more coming soon.
