There aren’t really any libertarian children’s books I know of, at least not picture books. Rather than write entirely new ones to fill that void, what if we re-purposed existing books, but gave them a shiny new coat of libertarian paint?
In the breakroom …
CEO: (to engineer) “They tell you in kindergarten never to believe everything you read.”
Me: “And in marketing, they tell you never believe everything you write.”
Months back I went to a Jonathan Coulton concert with several of my friends. I shot some footage at the concert that was used in a Yahoo! People of the Web video profiling Mr. Coulton’s music. Yahoo also used clips from Dragon*ConTV’s music video for Re Your Brains.

“RIM notified its clients of the outage in an e-mail.”
