Libertarianism |
Politically, I'm a pretty hard-core
libertarian. I've been so for almost as long as I my very
deep-seated conviction that economic progress was
fundamental to human existence.
| The Reason Foundation |
Publishes Reason
Magazine, an excellent biweekly magazine
analyzing current events in a free-market
spotlight. |
| The Cato Institute |
Probably the most
intelligent think tank in Washington -- and
quickly becoming one of the most influential.
Emphasizing real-world, near-term, solutions to
today's problems. |
| Bionomics Institute |
Argues the social
intrinsicness of capitalism by pointing out the
parallels between economics and biology. The
cornerstone of this insitute is the book
Bionomics -- a synopsis is available from my friend Manish
(who is slowly seeing the libertarian light even
though he went to Berkeley). |

News |
I'm also a news junkie. I used to
spend a lot of time catching up with daily events.
Lately, more of my time has been shifting from the world
to the computer industry.

Not as frequently updated
as PC Week or Infoworld but I LOVE the pointers
they give to other headlines from other news

domain name to have in this niche of the
industry... |

can have with do-it-yourself projectiles and
explosives -- quoting from the site --
"These things have a tendency to attract
every 8-12 year old kid in the neighborhood" |
| PowerTV |
My almost employer. On the
whole, I don't have second thoughts about
choosing Microsoft. |
| True Country Music Song Titles |
I've gotta be one of the
few Indians who's into country music / humor.
There are some classics on this list truly
embodying redneck class & honesty including

ugly" |

minds of the 20th century -- Jeff Foxworthy |
