I seem to spend more time writing little pieces on my Facebook page than I do here recently, so I decided to repeat here something I just posted there. Today is Earth Overshoot Day (EOD). Every year since the early 1970's EOD has arrived a little earlier in the year. What does this mean? Well,... Continue Reading →
Avoiding the Snoopers
Where Did The Ads Go? Here is something quite interesting. Since early July, I have been using the free blocking software from Abine.com called 'DoNotTrackMe' and more recently, 'MaskMe' to enhance and protect my internet browsing and email experience. I have noticed that my Facebook page is now ad free. This I can only... Continue Reading →
On Incite and Insight
I enjoy writing. More than I ever thought that I would or would ever be capable of. In my schooldays I would struggle to put together even a one page essay. Thoughts on subjects that I had little or no interest in, just would not flow. Now, when a subject of interest comes to me,... Continue Reading →
Exercise in Futility
I am repeating here something I just posted on my Facebook page because I feel I should go on record as having expressed this view more widely.

Have American businesses seen any of that stimulus money? I doubt you could find any that could answer those questions... Continue Reading →

News of the Day I want to feature an article that came to my attention this morning courtesy of News.com.au (not usually one of my regular or recommended news sources, but we all have our good days) via AFSA, the Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance. The AFSA comment on this is: A fairly alarmist NewsCorp story but... Continue Reading →
Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid. Five Eyes Is Watching You Through The Prism
It happens every time It happens every time I say that I am not going to be able to do something for some reason, something else comes up that makes it impossible not to do that thing. Yesterday, in the previous post, I said I would probably not be posting here for a while due... Continue Reading →
Post Hiatus, Why?
Oh dear, no posts here in over a month. I haven't been lazy, unwell, bored, anti-everything or anything like that. I have been posting merrily away on my Blogger site 'Meanderings'. It all started with my needing to think about thinking about my future, and resulted in my putting down a few thoughts in a... Continue Reading →
