• Wow – Magic Stuff

    Fly Stick Van de Graaff Levitation Wand available at Think Geek. Wow, like totally magic. I want one. Goes on a bit long so you’ll probably just want to watch 30 seconds of this. Makes you wonder if magic stuff like this is available as a kids toy, why can’t I have a flying car?

  • more evidence of the world falling apart

    Thought I’d keep the blog updated. Now that I don’t really have time or money to be a financial guru anymore, maybe it would make more sense to publish regularly on other topics. Today’s is this – the madness of advertising. To the left is an ad, a pretty bad ad supposedly advertising a beer.…

  • Cheats prosper

    This was going to be a huge diatribe about ethics in sport, rising above the travails and strains of constant training, dieting and practice to excel in an activity, and how there are those in sport who take the short cut and circumnavigate the rules to prosper in their chosen field.

  • Who’s a pretty boy, Johnny?

    Poms 42 – Skirt wearers 20 While the scoreline made it seem like a one sided match the skirt wearers played well for about 50 minutes and looked like creating an upset. They reasoned however that Wilkinson would fall apart after 60 (which he unfortunately didn’t), and that they themselves wouldn’t make any mistakes. However,…
