Eye Forward

I highly recommend listening to the track while reading this chart. How many of the pieces do you recognize?

The book was an amazing journey - McCarthy is one of the best authors of our time. Looking forward to the flick.

nice to see him sketch the car from initial profile shape to more detailed rendering.

Dang. That's a lot of unpaid bills. Imagine if these debtors were being charged the interest rates, fees and penalties that regular consumers are stuck with by our creditors.

Far from being a reality, yet oh so promising. The basic design is fresh and attractive, the long cabin and taut overhangs are functional and modern. Not perfect, but very nice. Let's hope it sees the light of day.

People want to know how I started Teach For America straight out of college, and honestly, my greatest asset was my inexperience. It proved absolutely critical at many junctures. When I declared in my thesis that I would try to create this corps myself, my thesis adviser pronounced me “deranged.” When he looked at my budget of $2.5 million for the first year, he asked me if I knew how hard it was to raise $2,500, let alone two and a half million dollars. But aided by my inexperience, I was unfazed by these reactions. When school district officials literally laughed at the notion that the Me Generation — this was the label for my generation — would jump at the chance to teach in urban and rural communities, their concerns, too, went unheard. My very greatest asset was that I simply did not understand what was impossible.
