Would I rather pursue creating my own job or finding a job from someone else?

Good one for spring:

Can someone write a program that integrates my gtalk status, facebook status, and twitter simultaneously?

Today in class I struggled with a pretty important question. The protagonist in our case was a creative technologist--she thought up and developed products. The case was about how she should turn a product into a business. I argued that she shouldn't. Instead of getting involved in production and sales deals, she should sell her idea and go back to what she loved doing. If her purpose wasn't in business, why bother starting one?

When we have Democratic government, one of the first victims is business. Not that the private sector faired very well under the last two Bush years. Who knows what the next steps designed to punish the last crime or protect the consumer will be. While not especially riveting, this discussion on CNBC highlights the importance of what Congress shouldn't do.

As I listen to people talk about Obama's ascent to power, I notice how they use the words he used. Change, hope, etc. His rhetoric has been singularly effective.
