Embrace… The End of Capitalism.

27 November, 2008 (14:23) | Accountability, Economy | No comments

So its pretty much a lock. GM, Ford and Chrysler are most likely getting a bailout. You can argue against the idea citing that its just throwing good money after bad, but its going to happen.
I really enjoyed Michael Moore’s interview with Larry King from a few days back. In it, he shared his thoughts on the [...]

Embrace… Expertise.

21 July, 2008 (15:05) | Accountability, Technology | No comments

I understand that the anonymity that the Internet facilitates empowers people to speak up in forums where they would otherwise be unheard. In some ways, that is great. But in others, its a detriment to progress.

Embrace… Transparency.

24 June, 2008 (15:23) | Accountability, Music and Media, Technology | No comments

One of the principles of Swaplogic philosophy is the fact that transparency is becoming a commodity. Transparency used to be hard to come by. But with the advent of the Internet, as well as tools that have been around for some time but not as widely used, like video, digital cameras and cellular devices, transparency [...]

Embrace… Multiple Listings Services.

Man, the “Embrace” series of blog posts is like shooting fish in a barrel. It’s just too easy sometimes…
Enter Multiple Listings Services (MLS). These are very common internet-based databases used that contain regional real estate listings. If you’ve ever been interested in the real estate market before, chances are you’ve visited one of these sites.

Embrace… Gene Simmons.

In an extension of our Metallica discussion from days gone by, the folks at Mashable have reported that Gene Simmons of KISS has picked “a side” in the Napster argument as well. Not surprisingly, the crusty old bassist picked the crusty old business model. Gene, Gene, Gene. The hair dye is seeping into your brain [...]

Embrace… Stupid Precedent.

There was once a time when Canada was safe haven from absurd law suits (like this, and why not, even this), but one event may serve to change that. According to the Globe and Mail, a 12-year old successfully argued in the Quebec Superior Court (not so Superior anymore) that her father was wrongful in [...]

Embrace… Metallica

Oh, its the little things like this, courtesy of techdirt, that warm a meager Accountability Soldier’s heart. Metallica, you’ve done some great things in the wonderful world of heavy metal music. You’ve created one of the most widely appreciated and copied guitar and drum sounds in all of hard rock riffery… You’ve be able to [...]

Embrace… Moody’s

26 May, 2008 (15:21) | Accountability, Markets | No comments

Times are tough for the mighty Moody’s Corp lately. Once widely regarded as the standard in credit risk ratings, Moody’s is now coming under scrutiny after a number of public follies. I think it’s timely that we took a look at Moody’s from the perspective of accountability in the first of our “Embrace” Series of [...]
