Current State of Me 1-28

Listen: A State of Trance Official Podcast If you're into trance/techno/house/etc. music, check this out. It's put out by Armin van Buuren and has some good tracks. (This is also available for subscription through the iTunes Store podcast section.)

Watch: Most Days 1-26 Towards the end of this edition of Merlin Mann's Most Days series is about the best description of Chinese New Year that I've ever heard (the rest of the video is good too, as usual).

Check out: The Top 10 Risks in 2009 (link to PDF) by the Eurasia Group. Important reading forecasting the political landscape in 2009.

Read: Hezbollah: A Short History This is part of the Princeton Studies in Muslim Politics series. A very academic-toned book, it still does a very good job laying out the beginnings of Hezbollah and providing an overview to the numerous aspects of life in Lebanon that the group has its fingers in. Hezbollah is an important group to know something about, and I've found this book to be informative.

Thought: Why do people in Washington D.C. freak out when there is an inch of snowfall? It's really not that scary...
