Another national psycho-tragedy last night. But at least now the European Championship will probably be won by a social democracy not embroiled in an illegal occupation.

Am reading Meyer Hillman's book on How to Save the Planet. Absolutely terrifying - basically, it's immoral to ever fly anywhere on holiday, or do anything else much except read, cycle and farm crops. We are all fucked.

Odd - two comments underneath Colin's meme machine entry but it lists as Comments (0).

What was that meme machine book you guys mentioned the other night?

Re: Ecotricity

There seems to be a bit of a windmill backlash building from unexpected sources. A lot of people (including alternative energy types) are saying that they'll never generate enough power. I was thinking about this stuff the other day, and it occured to me that we should be investing loads in providing solar power in Africa -- doing our R&D there and basically giving it away to them in vast quantities. Also, I still think they should add dynamos to treadmills and exercise bikes in gyms across the world...

Seumas, I'm sure you'll disapprove of me posting this, but I just read a speech by Bill Gates for a thing I'm doing at work, and thought it might be of vague interest for John, workwise: Bill Gates' Speech Transcript: Microsoft CEO Summit May 2004.
