You know the ones where the guy jumps naked through the ice into the frozen lake and...

...and to Seemore, of course.

1) Local News

It's raining a little.

Guess Who Won The Election?

2) Other News

Wars, rumors of wars, chaos, misery, earthquakes, nuclear meltdowns upwind of us, and, and, and...

3) Read your local paper. Join a local group. Just do it. And tell your friends and neighbors I thought of it first.

4) Current Events for the Bay Area (I read from some foodie quiz cards).

Yes it is true (according to Foodie Fight : a trivia game for serious food lovers) that american kitchens have tripled in size since 1950, from 80 square feet to 225. And yes, I will answer the MATH QUESTION OF THE WEEK aka what is the square root of 225? See below

MATH QUESTION OF THE WEEK  answer : the square root of 225 is 15 


15 x 15 = 225, or a kitchen today averages out to be a room 15 wide and 15 feet deep, too. Use to be less than nine. Good work Mathmagicians!

Tune in to the Hard Work Hour with Douglas Douglas Live on Blog Talk Radio Friday mornings at 10:00 am Pacific Time.

Today's show: "Gold" is dedicated to the idea of social activism. The practice is a little messy, but I LOVE the theory.

...and to Seemore, of course.

Also on today's show:
1) Local News
2) Other News
3) Local Loco
4) Gold
5) Lit Minit : "The Golden Section: Nature's Greatest Secret," by Scott Olsen

3) Read your local paper. Join a local group. And tell your friends and neighbors.

4) Gold. Best hedge against inflation: 1) time machine 2) $10,000 3)  buy it @ $32/oz. 4) sell it for $5,000/oz. next week (Profit Ratio - $156.25 for every dollar you put in).

But the metal is not our focus today, but the section.

The Golden Section is a relationship of numbers that potentially and realistically has shaped our world materially and philosophically.

In ONE EXTREMELY BROAD STROKE, it is the reason our favorite buildings are rectangles and not squares.
