So I finished up my yearly horror movie marathon on Halloween last week, and it seems that while most bloggers didn't partake in an entire 6 weeks of horror movie watching, many did fire up their DVD players on Halloween weekend... their posts have been hitting all this week, including people who watched many of my favrorite series. Here's a few links: Nightmare on Elm Street thoughts from Ben, who's...
Environment boss wants to put carbon tax on driving, heating and holidays. "Economist Ruth Lea, of Arbuthnot Banking Group, said: 'This is getting beyond a joke. 'This is all about the control of the individual - and you begin to wonder whether this is what the green agenda has always been about. It's Orwellian. This will be an enormous tax on business.'

video:stalinleninmao. economic liberalism, a la Professor Hayek, because of its starkness and its failure to create a sense of community, is not a safeguard of political freedom but a threat to it...' I think Sir Ian Gilmour, the old 'One Nation' Tory, had the answer. Perhaps if the communism had been replaced with other forms of socialism post-1989 there would not now be so much nostaglia for communism...
I got an email this morning from Katherine Poll of Digeus Software the exact text of which is below. Now as my early blogs will attest, I do have an interest in the way internet will work for business and marketing in particular. This is a cool approach which I have not seen before. Digeus are offering what should be a useful software item for screen capture and asking in return to have their product...
Hooray. If you are reading this, you found the blog. I have been wondering about readership for two reasons: 1) There have been few comments lately (yeah, it's early); 2) More importantly, The Star has had technical problems that prevent a new headline from posting. In other words, a new blog might be up, but the new headline won't be on indystar.com/sports or indystar.com/butler. So I suggest that...
Art, craft, and design: these teasing, shape-shifting categories were seen in Chess in Art XI in the industrial scale marquetry of Alan Boileau. They were at work, too, in Jaime Hayón’s giant chess set installed in Trafalgar Square for a week in September. Jonathan B's Battle of Trafalgar , and part II , reported on it at the time, and here's a post script on it from the Chess in Art point...
cc The Independents and Conservatives 1. The banning of HGV's to the bypass. 2. A 20 mph zone for the village centre. 3. A road calming system that makes it impossible for traffic to speed. Postscript. I've sent this to Mark Tami MP, perhaps wrong representative as Wales looks after the above stuff, never mind!
You may recall the earlier item on James Mackay, Aird, Skerray, Tongue, who died in Australia in 1925. Have just added a postscript to that article. A big success story. Inspiration to us all to continue digging! Article HERE .
The logos of the biggest tech companies are some of the most recognisable brands in the world. But where do the logos come from? And what do they mean? We reveal the history behind some of tech's most recognisable corporate images. Adobe Systems Adobe was founded in late 1982 by John Warnock and Charles Geschke. Both had worked for Xerox PARC and wanted to develop PostScript – the first major...
Just back from the Southwest District Council meeting at South Seattle Community College (WSB sponsor), where one of the guests was Deputy Parks Superintendent Christopher Williams. His main topic was an update on future West Seattle Golf Course improvements; we’ll write about that separately. After that briefing, he asked if anyone in the room — [...]
As a postscript to Monday's post on Sniffing for Market Share, it occurred to me that one more thing you could do when you evaluate the look (sight) of your business is to watch for smiles. That's right...smiles. Rolex has...
Recently, when I was automating a process, part of the requirement was to merge XML data with a form design that was created in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. When you are merging a form design with data from an XML file, you can use either the Forms service or Output service in LiveCycle ES. Depending on how you use the resultant merged form design and data, determines which service best meets your...
This past weekend was the The Great Emergence one-day seminar in Winnipeg with Phyllis Tickle, sponsored by FaithForum (and others) . Clearly, the event centered around Ms. Tickle’s book, The Great Emergence: How Christianity Is Changing and Why . A few of us ( Jamie Howison , Jamie Arpin-Ricci , Lesley Harrison , and yours truly) were invited to participate in a panel discussion and present...
On this day five years ago, notwithstanding electoral fraud in Ohio, George W. Bush was re-elected president of the United States ( here ). Over 62 million people voted to return this presidential pretender to power, the individual who read a child’s book in a Florida classroom while the Twin Towers fell in New York City, a portion of the Pentagon collapsed, and a plane crashed in central Pennsylvania,...
Bernard Chazelle has an excellent and interesting look into the musical theory behind the guitar part in “Layla.” Unfortunately, this analysis is marred by the postscript, which states: They have in them, as we all do, hundreds of years of cumulative musical sensitivity that was “invented” (not discovered) by people who worked out the theory.
