Welcome to the blog of Connor Boyack, a 20-something web designer, political economist, and budding philanthropist.
I'm changing the world, one byte at a time.
Thanks to being alerted by Richard’s post, I was able to watch a screening of Traffic Control last night in Provo. This documentary debunks the fictionalized fantasy of pornography and highlights a new (and amazingly simple) idea that can allow parents the option to block such filth from their computers with success. The internet is [...]
Ron Paul‘s weekly column, titled “Inflation and War Finance”, is worth a read. Here’s my favorite chunk (emphasis is mine): As the war in Iraq surges forward, and the administration ponders military action against Iran, it’s important to ask ourselves an overlooked question: Can we really afford it? If every American taxpayer had to submit [...]
A couple days ago I finished reading Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor Gatto. Some of you may recognize his name from the Your Child Left Behind post where I linked to an article he wrote titled The Tyranny of Compulsory Schooling. Dumbing Us Down is a short book [...]
For a few months now, I’ve wanted to create a blook (blog + book) from the posts I’ve written in 2006 (something like the Lifehacker book). I’ve been waiting for Blurb to get around to it, but their application can only import wordpress blogs that are hosted on wordpress.com. Since my blog is hosted remotely, [...]
History lesson: The circumstance that sparked the long birthing process of our nation was taxation without representation. While we officially have representation in our government, 74% of Americans allegedly believe that Congress is out of touch with their constituents. Self-serving career politicians in bed with corporate lobbyists do not represent the people who voted them [...]
This past Sunday in Sacrament Meeting, the High Councilor gave an excellent talk on the law of chastity. As part of the talk he related an experience he had as a teenager attending an AC/DC concert in Salt Lake City. The crowd was very large, hundreds and hundreds of pumped-up teenagers and miscreants ready to [...]
When I took the bus this morning, I left my car parked on a nearby road in front of somebody’s house. When I returned to my car after work, I had the following note on my windshield: Click to enlarge.
Last night I had the awesome privilege of attending the Provo LDS Tech Talk spearheaded by the Church’s CIO. It was a great opportunity to rub shoulders w/ some of the Church’s designers and developers. Among others, I was able to meet Joel Dehlin, Tadd Giles, Gilbert Lee, Jason Lynes, Randy Hall, and Aaron Barker. [...]
To the sinner (read: all of us), nothing is more comforting and reassuring than the divine principle of mercy. I fear that many do not fully understand this great gift, most of all myself. In Church this past Sunday, I was pointed to the following verse: For behold, [Zenock] said: Thou art angry, O Lord, [...]
President J. Reuben Clark once said: I have been preaching against Communism for twenty years. I still warn you against it, and I tell you that we are drifting toward it more rapidly than some of us understand, and I tell you that when Communism comes the ownership of the things which are necessary to [...]
One of the books I’m reading (as you can see on the sidebar) is Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, written by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano. This book is an awesome asset in understanding how the government, in the name of “national security” and “upholding the law”, has repeatedly broken [...]
Sometimes I’m astounded at how loaded a single verse can be. The other day during my morning scripture study I read only one verse: Now it came to pass that in the first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, from this time forward, king Mosiah having gone the way [...]
