no, we are not the ones to "solve" it, because there is no button to push, method to be invented, or novel approach to making everyone solvent with web technology.
what we are, we're the people who will live with reduced wealth for decades to come. debt must be unwound and asset prices reverted to the mean. there is no shortcut. regimes that have taken shortcuts have ended violently. for example, monarchist france and weimar germany.
we are, ONCE AGAIN (like 2002), attempting to put off (inevitable) deflation with hyperinflation. or do you think pumping like $3 trillion globally into markets will have no impact on currencies? the dollar will not make it to 2025
if you are doing cardio, you must sweat. this is the simplest rule for knowing if your workout is effective. its an easy rule to remember and works no matter what level of fitness you are at.
if you want the single best cardio/toning workout, i cannot recommend the rowing machine enough. if you think this is a lightweight cardio workout, my guess is that you have never tried it. the first two minutes are a joke...in ten minutes you won't think its a joke
otherwise running can't be beat. i do a trail marathon a month on avg. trail running is the shit.
even without the downturn, a reality check was coming. literally hundreds of little websites have been surviving due to only one factor: costs have dropped so low for producing a website that you can run it on poverty wages for years. in the 90s this wasn't the case...higher burn rates put more companies under quickly.
and the web economy is maturing in ways that just aren't friendly to small sites. google has become an accretion disc for all ad revenue that even other big websites can't compete with. the major sites are paying good wages to good talent...increasingly engineers will take $120k for 9-5 from yahoo over a lottery ticket and slave labor from a startup
the recession will just wake most "founder" types up to the reality that their payday will never emerge
