I watched this in today’s NY Times. I rarely click on these multimedia features, but this one was a spectacular photo and audio narrative of this terrible moment.

We are blessed to be living here in the United States, but as the world continues to converge, the need to be aware of events and consequences of those events around the world only increases in importance. While there is much gnashing of teeth over Iran, our biggest problem is what happens in Pakistan. The linkage between the US and Musharraf is doing us no good, I wonder what the plan to deal with that is…

I want to state for the record, that I really enjoy blogging. Though I can’t claim a huge readership base, I can claim that writing on this blog has done a whole lot of good for my clarity of writing. In fact, I haven’t felt that my writing has been as concise since my journal writing days traveling through Europe. So, to those who don’t blog-the reason I blog is to be a better writer in my everyday life.

Anyway, things have been extraordinarily busy and will remain so for the foreseeable future as I work through a bunch of different things in business and in life. I will post when I can, so definitely grab my RSS feed or email if you are one of my 30-40 average visitors.

Last week, we pitched NY Angels, which was pretty intense. While I would love to say that we knocked their socks off, I must admit that the outcome of that meeting is very unclear. I’ll obviously let you know if something comes of it. We have also been admitted into the Investors Circle newsletter and company database. Investors Circle is a group of about 400 angel investors who seek to make socially conscious angel investments, so we are hopeful on that front.

I have also been spending some time brainstorming with a buddy of mine from a past job, Steve Martocci. Steve is an incredibly vivid and innovative thinker and developer, who is using these skills to develop some exciting things with his company Sympact Technologies. Spending time with him, working to develop his strategy has had a terrific cross-pollinating effect on how I think about PlansForUs. You will see the fruits of that pollination in 2008.

Moving on-Do you read Dy/Dan yet? Are you an educator? Than you must have a look. Are you interested in the debate around technology in the classroom? Than you should be reading. Dan provides an incredibly honest assessment of teaching. His latest post talks of the benefits of a well designed worksheet, a skill which I see on a regularly honed by my wife. The honesty of Dan’s discourse and the clarity of thought is really powerful. Check it out.

Finally, What’s my worldview? I know, you are all fascinated to find out and that’s why I kept it for last. Lucky for you, I am going to share my worldview as analyzed by QuizFarm and Oxygen Media. Leave a comment and tell me what your worldview diagnosis.

This weekend my wife and I were listening to a song from these guys as we drove out to Montauk and decided that it was absolutely awesome. We have now downloaded a few more songs from them and are anxiously awaiting their tour dates in NYC. I also think I am going to go ahead and buy more tracks from these guys on Amazon.

According to my iTunes I first found The Cave Singers exactly a month ago. The song that I discovered these guys with was “Seeds of Night”, a song which is actually one of the more beautiful songs I have heard and really highlights the singer’s unique voice.

That’s as far as I am going to go in describing the music as I have little expertise in moving my descriptions of music beyond the simple fact that I like the music. Here are a few songs that we like:

Seeds of Night
Dancing on our Graves
Helen
Oh Cristine

You can listen to many, if not all of them at HypeMachine.

Enjoy.
