Buggered if I know…

“We hear you Tranquillity Base, let’s solve it by borrowing more money…”
Is this the madness we are currently seeing?
I must disclose that I saw/heard some commentator make the very tongue in cheek observation that went something like:
“isn’t this clever - the original problem was caused by debt - so lets borrow more money to fix [...]

This from a friend - the connection is exploring the vastly wide relationship to everything if you start looking at the impact Darwin’s theories have on our percieved nature of the world…

“ego-driven, space-time, meat vehicle…” is fun…

Jeesh! I haven’t been employed, or resident, in the UK since Nov 2006. I advised Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs service (HMRC) of this during 2007 - in fact I received a tax refund sometime mid-year (because I hadn’t work the whole year in the UK hence was over taxed).
Today I received a letter (posted [...]

All the hype was actually a bit of a misnomer - what actually exists, and has just been released as a Software Development Kit (SDK, via Google OS), is an open source development platform for Mobile Phones created by Google called Android.
