Unlock cultures from around the world

Unlocking mysteries of the worlds cultures allows us to compile the best of the best. Imagine all the natural medicines and healing techniques used throughout the world. Big Pharama has known this for ages, however anthropologists will continue to unlock knowledge and information about the world and we will all benefit.

Many of the archaeological sites throughout the world have only uncovered a small fraction of what's buried. As we learn more about other cultures, our view of history changes.

Is there something another culture has to offer which you can package and resell? Don't limit yourself to products, it could be information, or an experience! How many people would pay for the experience of a lifetime? Surfing the best wave, climbing the highest mountain, tasting the best food, the finest wines.

Flipping Willie Horton

In politics, flipping is everything. No, not flipping as in changing sides, but flipping information or ideas, profiting not from their sale, but their acceptance. Willie Horton is again in the news, why? Well, put simply, the holiday political season has begun, and it ain't snow thats raining down.

Globalization, good or bad?

After reading about Globalization today, I couldn't help but think about how during World War II, Coca Cola obtained rationed sugar by selling bottles of Coke to the military. After shipping the bottles to Africa, Europe, and anywhere else GI's were posted, Coke basically positioned itself to become a global brand (intentially or not). The book For God, Country, and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It talks about Cokes role during World War II, and provides some interesting background on the company. Now you can have a coke and a smile nearly anywhere on the planet. Is this a positive or negative cultural change? When I was visiting some family abroad, I heard a lot of negative comments regarding Cokes activities in other countries, in the olympics, etc. However I still drink Coke (when I'm not drinking water or Mountain Dew!). I just don't see them as an evil empire, just a company with stock holders and a p...

Yahoo Down?

Yahoo reportedly is having problems keeping its server infrastructure online, the IM client, Flicer, and the main home page all seem to be having issues. It's unclear how serious the issue is, or if there is an issue with Yahoo at all. Times like this make me wonder what the impact of going public could be vs. silence. Stories on the internet are a blaze with rumor and suppositioin. If Yahoo would release a statement, it would give people some real information to go off of. This is a good contrast to Miss New Jersey , and her facing her photo scandal with a press conference.
