On the 8 Spot

This is what one loves about the net the anonimity brings out the worst and the best from everyone!

John Maynard Keynes is my economic idol, which is why I jumped at the chance to write the intro to the new edition of The General Theory. But I’d never heard this quote, from today’s FT:

Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.

Presumably that was said in response to someone who called him shrill.

Great Keynes quote – Paul Krugman – Op-Ed Columnist – New York Times Blog.

The youngest Asian-American Head Coach in the NBA is a Filipino!

If you’ve been to the Philippines (like Gilbert Arenas), You know how basketball crazy the Philippines is!

Another reason to cheer for Dwade and the Miami Heat!

New Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra to Sports Business Radio (subscription): “I am half Filipino. I’m proud of my heritage. I didn’t know when I got hired that I was the first Asian-American head coach in the NBA. So, I took that with a great deal of respect and honor. I think any time that you can be a part of something to possibly break down any kind of barriers or stereotypes, then I’m all for it. And if it’s at all possible for somebody down the line to have a door opened or see an opportunity that might not have been there before, then I think that’s a tremendous opportunity.”
