Some recent events… (I’ve not updated the blog in a while)

So I am taking a full course load at Berkeley.

Well, sort of… I’m not going to get any actual credit. But I don’t particularly need a gold star by my name. One of the really interesting courses is called Geog 110 – Fall 2007: Economic Geography of the Industrial World. If you like that type of thing.  One of the interesting points that he makes is about China, and how they flex their muscles as a threat to the to the dominant hegemon, the United States. It is interesting to think about with regards to their current hacking enterprises.

This week in Porto Alegre is CONCURSO: Experiências em Inovação Social na America Latina e o Caribe sponsored by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) (Comisión Económica para América Latina (CEPAL) in Spanish)

Oh, and I broke my finger.
Rats.

Polar bear and dog.

You will most likely say “awwwwwww“.(Not “aw!”)When you watch this slideshow.However, remember a polar bear can easily eat your face.  You do not want a pet polar bear.

ROTFLMAO!

The United Estates of America!

(I mean this type of estate.)

The housing projects in the UK that actually became “the projects”.

Cats and dogs.

It is raining like crazy in London today. The BBC was predicting a “butt-load” of rain today, until their site went down. That is pretty unprofessional in my opinion. In 18 months I haven’t seen it rain like this. It is very Florida-like. Hurricanish.

Ducks are coming!!

Rubber ducks are headed for England.
I found this interesting article.
We are going surfing in a couple weeks and I will be scouting the lineup.

So the scientists all agree about one thing for certain.  The earth is heating up. They are mostly in agreement that it is our fault. They seem to have a lot of different opinions on what is going to happen if it continues heats up.

Is it a crisis?  Should I hop in my private jet to fly somewhere and shake my fist with the rest of the forward-looking people on the planet?  I’m not too sure.  Weather is very very complicated.  We are members of a race that can fly around and dodge flaming junk, but we still can’t predict if it will be raining 3 weeks from now.  At any rate, let’s assume that global warming will be very very bad.

Here is my solution: Let’s find the worlds best carbon experts, maybe at a bicycle company, and find a way to pull the carbon out of the air and give it to them. It can’t really be that complicated. Again, we can split the atom… We can use the carbon to make bicycles and we can all ride around instead of producing carbon dioxide.

Tah-dah, problem solved.  And for my next trick….

Snow!

It is snowing like crazy in London!
Normally it is kind of weak, icy stuff. But this is great big flakes! Ski resort type snow. The roads are all covered and people are driving/sliding around like crazy.

A walk….

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Susi and I walked from our flat in Hammersmtih to just past Oxford Circus today. It was a pretty far walk and a really nice day for it. It was good to see London on foot. Or at least West London.
We walked through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and stopped at the Serpentine Museum (but it was between shows).
We bumped into two(2) jiu-jitsu people on our day out. It was good to see them but a bit strange that in a city of N million people we saw two that we knew.
There were Indian Ringneck Parakeets flying around Kensington Gardens. These are big green birds from India that were soaring around in the leafless trees.

Farming.

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

I, like Google, am thinking of starting a Miscanthus farm. I want to start the farm on my balcony, and brew ethanol to power my Mad Max-style escape vehicle… when the marauding bands start pillaging London.

Records.

Things are heating up.
