I hate “Top” lists. I do. All of them. I’ve hated them since before Letterman tried to make them his own, and I hate them even more now when webpages take 10 links to show 10 pictures of the top 10 potentially homophobic animated characters as judged by someone with the television knowledge of my [...] July 28th, 2009 | Tags: Reality, social commentary, Social Networking, Technology | Category: cynical, geek, social commentary | Comments are closed My Lonely Planet Guide for India (which was a God send of a book) had countless warnings about scams in India. Almost each city/section had special headings on the type and nature of scams in that region and spoke about how to spot them and avoid them. Aside from being a yet another fear mongering [...] July 12th, 2009 | Tags: Charity, Greed, Observation, travel | Category: random, social commentary, travel | Comments are closed Greetings from India where my friend Andrew and I have been traveling around for 2 weeks now! In that ime I have learned a few things and thought I would share. 1) I am white and rich - It sounds almost racist, but in a country of over 1 billion Indian residents being white makes you stand [...] July 9th, 2009 | Tags: Observation, travel | Category: social commentary, travel | Comments are closed Those of you fortunate enough and/or with enough spare time to read my Facebook, Twitter and Blog sites are aware that I recently de-coupled Twitter updates automatically updating Facebook statuses. I did this for a very specific reason, and have just “un-done” this for another. I had a few people comment on that decision, and [...] June 23rd, 2009 | Tags: social commentary, Social Networking, travel, Twitter | Category: deep thought, social commentary, travel | One comment - (Comments are closed) I love guests. Since moving to England three years ago I have had the fortune of being host to several of my friends from back home and always welcome more people to my humble abode. This week I was lucky enough to have 3 seperate groups of people pop over the big pond for a [...] June 22nd, 2009 | Tags: deep thought, Late Night Thought, London, travel | Category: deep thought, social commentary, travel | Comments are closed I have flown quite a bit, not a lot, but more than most and less than quite a few. I have flown on everything from “Can this legally be considered a plane?”-class on Delta to Executive First on Air New Zealand, one of the best airlines in the air. I have been on Virgin Blue [...] I could spend a lot of time reviewing each absurdity of this book, but alas I like to branch out more. Instead I think in my final reflection I’ll finish with why I believe Mr. Keen has this sense of reality that I do not share. Since I stated posting blog entries I have received [...] May 3rd, 2009 | Tags: Blogging, Book, deep thought, Movie, Social Networking, Technology | Category: deep thought, geek, social commentary | Comments are closed I mentioned briefly in my last post about the Swine Flu. And today I read that Air Transat and other airlines have suspended flights! Has this world gone mad?! Swine Flu World Wide Stats This picture was in the UK morning paper. Notice that the only place that has any deaths in it is [...] April 29th, 2009 | Tags: News, Observation, Reality, Stupidity | Category: cynical, social commentary | Comments are closed Preface: Lately a phenomenon has taken off like many of the fads of the 80s we all love so much. Starting with the BBS systems in the late 70s and through the 90s we have had this intrinsic need to network with people at any distance via computer. With the web becoming more accessible, network [...] April 16th, 2009 | Tags: Blogging, Book, Observation, Social Networking, Technology, Twitter | Category: geek, social commentary | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) |

Driving me to Drink
The other day in the paper there was an article about a 22 year old English man who died due to liver failure. The doctors were quoted as saying “He had the worst case of cirrhosis they have ever seen”. In fact his alcohol consumption was so bad that he was denied a liver transplant on the [...]
