1. Money supply is decreasing (at least M2, one measure of money supply, is....MZM is likely decreasing as well, though I don't know for sure). As we've discussed before, all money is loaned into existence (i.e. money = debt). Expansion of the money supply thus requires expansion of debt; paying...

As I've noted recently, I've been reading the book No Logo, and of course am busy pursuing my dream of bedroom rock stardom. This got me thinking: why isn't there much of an Asian American media?
When we use the term "Asian" we typically think of East Asians (i.e. China, Japan, Korea) rather...

Since I've been listening to just Green Day for the past couple days, I said to myself, "hey Kid Mercury, why not make a rock opera as a part of your adventures in bedroom rock stardom?" And so that's what I'm going to do, to bide the time here at KidMercuryBlog.com.
Below is the basic...

This past weekend I spent a lot of time listening to 21st Century Breakdown by Green Day. I'm starting to really like this album. One song I think is particularly memorable is "Last Night on Earth," it jumped out at me first time I heard it. It's the most Beatle-esque song I've heard in a while....

As regular readers know, I'm in the midst of acquisition discussions regarding my trading site. Here are some observations/reflections:
1. Know your morals regarding what you will and won't do, who needs to get paid, what promises were made that need to be honored, etc. If you don't have...

I've been reading the book No Logo by Naomi Klein, which I really like. Best book I've read in a while. It's about marketing, branding, culture....that type of stuff. It was written a decade ago, but still very relevant.
Below is an excerpt from the book that I think are related to what we...

I love calling people's bluffs. LOL, my favorite. Probably because I used to be a more deceptive person, quite foolish of course. Fortunately, I've since found the truth that set me free.
Anyway, out in the Internet business world, lots of folks have been calling the bluff Mark Zuckerberg,...

There are plenty of ways I have of describing the vision I have for the business I'm building. I generally think the simplest and easiest thing to say is that the plan is to "build a bunch of niche online communities and then connect them all." Ning and SocialGo are examples of similar models,...

Regular readers know I'm in the digital publishing business, which is another way of saying I'm in the Internet celebrity business, which is another way of saying I'm in the niche social networking business. And since I've taken over the role of being the blog star for my trading site (my...

Long-time readers are familiar with my adventures as a bedroom rock star -- an attempt to create the rock star of the future and understand the economic environment such rock stars will inhabit (low budget, cut off from mainstream media ecosystem). It's been on my mind a bit more of late, as if I...

I should note that Nike is a terrible company. I prefer to avoid their products. Check the video below.

I recently heard the song "Down," which is apparently a popular song by some guy calling himself Jay Sean. Some of my family members and I naturally observed that he is an Indian guy. At first we weren't sure (maybe he was Columbian or Dominican?), because an Indian guy doing a pop-R&B song...

Below is a fantastic two and a half hour presentation from David Wilcock on 2012. Two and a half hours is too long if you're not a full blown kook, I know. Try fast forwarding to 2:15:00, and watch until 2:20:00. In that five minute segment, Wilcock talks about the changes that are happening in...

In addition to being new year's eve, today is a lunar eclipse. Here are some points to consider from an astrological perspective:
1. Eclipses are points of greater sensitivity. This means emotions run higher, and that feeling that the Universe is talking to you is more likely and more...
