A story

This one came into my head the night before last. Hmm, shall I continue on it or let it slide?THE GIRL WHO BROKE THE WORLDThere was nothing out of the ordinary this day. It was a fine day, with high clouds, a shining warm sun and larks practicing their aerial skills hundreds of meters above…Read more A story

OK, now this is interesting

... I'd REALLY like to see this documentary - "We Live In Public" by director Ondi Timoner. "We will be trapped in virtual boxes..." Scary. Best shut this computer now and go have some real interaction with some real people 🙂

Quite right

Mish Shedlock puts it to us quite nicely in his latest blogpost. "...the current generation now in high school is likely going to be the first generation in America's history with a lower standard of living than their parents for quite some time to come."Please have a read. Over in other areas the situation might…Read more Quite right

Only thing is that the people they control are REAL people... and one of them is about to realize what's going on. Pretty neat,…Read more GAME – a pretty cool-looking movie

Hectic spring

...or, spring is perhaps not the correct term, seeing it was -12C when I woke up this morning. Still, hectic is the right adjective methinks.The Space Trainees will go into production in some weeks, lots to do before that (and during that). MIPTV 2009 in Cannes is up next week, much to do before that…Read more Hectic spring

Down, down, down….

Buy and hold, the callsign for generations of investors who couldn't be bothered with the day-to-day trade of stocks, futures, bonds etc, is definitely not the thing anymore.Everyone, from Warren Buffett to my mother, is saying that this recession is going to last, last and last some more. This is what the ones I believe…Read more Down, down, down….

The Twestival

If you're on Twitter, you could do worse today than follow the Twestival. All good, all fun, all for charity... and all bringing together the Twittersphere in a whole new way (I think :)(is it just me, or is anyone else already looking for the next thing - what will happen after Twitter?)
