The best of times

   Posted by: dsoul    in cybernetics

Carl Pope has an interesting piece

If you look far enough into the future you can devalue the worth of not just the human race but of everything (at least by using NPV techniques) to such an extent that the value of humanity, civilization and the environment  today is nothing at all… it appears that this could be the basis of behind thinking of some well known politcal advisors…. As we must live in the best of times,  lets devalue the worth of everything in the future to zip by acting in such a way as to make it happen exactly that way…with the future worse than now it truly can be said “we do live in the best of times” QED

First post from iPhone

   Posted by: dsoul    in Odds & Sods

Just testing functionality
First thing I notice is that the iPhone app does not show nested categories…I had to post this in a parent category
Otherwise it appears to be quite slick

Back after a long absence

   Posted by: dsoul    in Odds & Sods

Just didn’t get to this blog… or my others…. and then the habit died.

With new iPhone native app I may actually be able to start posting .  As I haven’t been using de.lici.ous there haven’t even been any auto posts coming here (although that facility might have been broken for some time by the look of it anyway).
