Ah, technology

I want to apologize if you weren't able to use the system earlier this morning. Out hosting provider messed up and as a result our database went down for a moment. We are back up and running, now, however, so no worries. I'm going to be keeping an eye on it for the next few hours to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

AIG, and the nature of contracts

In this podcast episode, we talk about the AIG bonus scandal, and what lessons we can take away about the nature of contracts, karma, emptiness, and impermanence.

New skin

Hi everyone. I know it's a little late, and that most of you have probably already noticed, but we are in the process of refining the look and feel of www.madpropits.com. There are some good changes that should make things just look and act a bit better, as well as speed up the site in general. More changes are coming, but the bulk is already there.

As always, let us know what you think. Get in touch with us, and let us know what you want to see, or how we can make your Propping experience better!

From idea to reality

This blog is starting to seem like just a podcast repository. I promise that's not the intention. However, podcasts are a part of it ;-)

We have a new episode, and this time we talk a little bit about how and why to take an idea and turn it into a company. This is one of our longer episodes, because it's something that's important to us, but it's got some good things in it.

Media and the economy

We started to talk about the media's effect on the economy, but then we just kind of drifted off. It's a fun episode, though, filled with some unique views on the stock market, and our place in it.

Podcast episode 3

If your local news ran a story on the local fair scamming people, and you went anyway, would you still be surprised and angry when you got scammed, or would you educate yourself so that you can win? This is exactly what is starting to happen, and will continue to happen, with the economic stimulus package. Educate yourself, and win.

New podcast episode

Wherein we talk about mortgages and such.
