To all those who asked, yes today is my birthday not an April Fool’s joke and thanks for all the good wishes which came in not to mention the cute April Fool from Shawn which I may deal with later in the week. True to form I spent most of said birthday on a plane […]
An interesting day in Hong Kong, all good and brightened by some outstanding service from the duty manager at the I started the day having walked through a rain storm at the Yacht Club to give a presentation to CIO connect who are establishing themselves here and look to be an interesting organisation (presence in […]
Interesting to see a discussion opening up in the UK on the nature of participative democracy. It would appear that the Government is considering compulsory voting and a degree of proportional representation through the medium of a second preference.

No one has yet attempted any serious defense of questionnaires, although one academic who provided a weak one is now arguing that the debate should cease which I will count as an admission of failure. […]
One of the really interesting things when you start to deal with fragmented narrative (of which blogs are a subset) is the realisation that you are returning to an older oral tradition in which stories evolved in their retelling. In the western tradition by allowing Andersen and the Brothers Grim to formalise our stories we […]
The memories continued today. I got a bus from Cardiff Airport into the centre to meet up with Steve, Michael and the development teams. It went around the houses visiting Barry (memories of Barry Island during the holidays and crazy golf), then through Penarth (Jurrasic period, lots of ammonites and Thayers Ice Cream) then into […]
