RAG Perspective: An American Pro-Liberty Conservative. A minimalist approach to essential, transparent, accountable, flat, adaptable, responsive, solution-based government, rooted in virtuous individual autonomy, traditional values and free markets, with a bias towards reduction of government functionality, cost and scope. Monday, August 31, 2015. Behind an able man there are always other able men. Tweet of the Day. If you make $34K, you're in the world's 1% splains @brianmdoherty. Image of the Day.

Selfish Blog: November 2012
http://selfishblogging.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A moral commentary on consumer culture, philanthropy, and wealth. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Your chance at fame has arrived. A photo of a New York police officer giving boots to a homeless man has gone viral. A tourist snapped the now famous photo of the scene. It reminded her of her father, a police officer who she witnessed giving food to a homeless man when she was a child. I think the kind-hearted acts of police officers like Lawrence Deprimo and that tourist's dad and people like Leanne are so m...

Between the rock of epistemological inertia, and the hard place of operational context. Anyone who’s been even intermittently checking in with the aid Twitterverse over the past few weeks knows that cash-based programming (technical aid term for just give people money ) is the aid world equivalent of the song of the summer. I get my aid fads mixed up. Then last week NPR featured a hitherto unknown organization called GiveDirectly. Sending every amateur do-gooder with a Facebook page into a tizzy. Just li...

The best career advice I can give? Take it easy.

Just playing the blues & trying to bring it in there exactly like it is. The best career advice I can give? It’s impossible to take any tech industry blog post (e.g. marketing, programming, growth hacking, etc.) seriously while listening to Lightnin’ Hopkins sing “Going Down Slow.”. And perhaps their personal ones as well. I ran into one of my closest industry colleagues. Mind you, we all have a little of all four in us. Our job is to wring them out of our existence one laid back moment at a time. No big...

https://pasapasblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/08/just-givedirectly-to-the-poora-few-thoughts-on-targeting-and-empowerment
If you have a spare penny…. Just GiveDirectly to the poor? A few thoughts on targeting and empowerment. July 8, 2011. Just as micro-finance became a simple and attractive way for donors to target the poor through providing grants and loans for micro-enterprises, GiveDirectly has now created a system where donors can directly contribute to poor households in Kenya through mobile phone technology (Thanks to Roving Bandit. For highlighting the charity). Demonstrated, not everyone wants to using the mechanis...

Why Frank Matters
http://blog.hifrank.com/why-frank-matters
When we began working on what would become Frank. I kept a small green notebook that I used to jot down my thoughts and reminders. Most of it was the day-to-day nonsense of a over-stretched founder trying to keep everything in order: call potential engineer, fix onboarding language, figure out legal thing, etc. I was flipping through that notebook last week and stumbled on a page with "does it matter? Written at the top. I wanted to share it with you because it reminded me that the. The first time I used...
