McDonalds Offers To Pay Hip Hop Artists Just incorporate the words "Big Mac" in your song, you get $5 for every mention in every song. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4389751.stm 7:15:06 AM     Content flow When you breathe, sometimes air is rushing in, sometimes out. I think my posts here are similar. I'm in breathing-in mode, reading through a stack of books, ordering more, and letting ideas ferment a while. The posts from the first half of this year has helped me clarify my explorations, and now I'm reading up on them. Some of the topics I'm reading about include design, architecture, systems thinking, philosophy, and the concepts of community.   7:10:42 AM

Steve Land: A Bibliography Here it is: a bibliography for Steve Land himself. Instead of footnotes to individual articles, the books listed here are the ones that I believe are most important to understanding how I think, who I am, and where I'm coming from. Rather than creating a long, exhaustive list, I want to keep this very short and limit my bibliography to those few books that, years later, I can point to as ones that shaped who I have become. These are the most influential books I have ever read. 6:35:28 AM

World Bank U2's Bono was not Bush's choice for World Bank president. Wolfowitz was. So it goes. 7:27:11 AM     Busy week This week is *just* busy enough that adding articles here falls off the edge. I expect that next week will be better. I have lots of ideas for articles... Meanwhile, here's a very interesting site to browse (systems-thinking.net). All about Systems Thinking. The author, Gene Bellinger, comes to some surprising conclusions when he uses systems thinking to model things around him.  7:11:24 AM

Goals as Things Goals feel like a real, solid thing, but on closer examination goals seem to be a highly dynamic, fluctuating system of forces. Put a check in the box when you have understood this concept. 8:17:59 AM
