Democrats blocking regulation on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

The Reform for Fannie, Bill S.190 was introduce by the Republicans….in fact, McCain co-sponsored (although this is video from the House of Reps).

The Bill must go thru Committee & gain 60% support. The committee is made up of 20 members. At the time, 11 were Republicans & 9 were Democrats. To get 60% of support, the Republicans needed ONE Democrat to support. Not one Democrat budged & the bill died.

The new way of Getting Things Done

Gudjon Mar Gudjonsson, has written an interesting post on his blog about networked productivity.

There are many great resources out there on the holy grail of productivity and time management. One popular method is the Getting Things Done (GTD) method from David Allen.

GTD is a work-life management system and book by David Allen that attempts to free us from a vast workload and instead operate an integrated system of stress-free productivity.

I like GTD but it can be improved. In this post I talk about a new layer to the GTD framework that I believe adds the strength of network collaboration as well; a kind of socialising layer.

I will call this the Open layer thus the methodology is Getting Things Done Open (GTDO).

Here is the post:  The new way of Getting Things Done

P.J. O’Rourke Fairness, idealism and other atrocities

Well, here you are at your college graduation. And I know what you’re thinking: “Gimme the sheepskin and get me outta here!” But not so fast. First you have to listen to a commencement speech.
