What?! Back from the dead?

Back by popular demand, That's Effin' Good is alive and well. Since I last posted, quite a bit has changed. For one, I have a real kitchen I can call my own, which makes cooking so much more of a delight than it already was.

More importantly, Christina and I are expecting a baby come late-February 2008, so I'm not just cooking to get by anymore. I have to provide for a family.

As always, across all of my endeavors (podcast, BtDD / Effin' Eh, DynamicThinking, etc.), I thoroughly enjoy feedback and the community that posting my thoughts online provides. Please feel free to comment with suggestions or anything that comes to mind.

At the end of the day, good food is all that matters.

In my first entry back, I have an easy orange roughy meal that took really no time at all.

Road to Serfdom Paved by Technocrats

Friedrich Hayek was a brilliant man with lessons that never get old. Recent conversations with a colleague have reminded of how dangerous self-described experts can be, particularly when they think they know how to solve all of the world's problems through greek letters and funny charts.

It never hurts to return to the basics. This time, it's F.A. Hayek's (illustrated) Road to Serfdom, brought to you by the Mises Institute. Hayek may have warned us of the dangers of planners, but today they probably call themselves technocrats.

Buyer beware.
