I try to mention Mises when it fits the occasion.  I have found that  
having some sort of grasp on core  economics ideas makes it easier to  
understand why a lot of things done, and called news, happen as they  
do.  Mostly silly decisions made for silly reasons from a very poor  
understanding of why things happen in an economy.  But you have to  
admit.... it can be entertaining.
I am still working out how Open Source fits into it all.  OS, self  
interest, and it's developing economy....

Roger,
It appears that you and I have a lot in common. I didn't think very  
may people knew of Mises. The content there is must reading (imho),  
and there's a ton of it. Many entire books are available online there.
