A day off to do the things I want to do all day. What a pleasure it is.
I’ve posted a few articles on this site about various things today. One was particularly interesting. It was by an Australian fellow named Ian Dunlop and he wrote in a Sydney, Australia, newspaper here about the conjunction of three factors that are going to “drag us into the abyss”. I couldn’t agree more and I’m happy to see other folks writing on what I’ve taken to calling the perfect storm.
Not too long ago here, I wrote about the new Virtual Reality things going on at SecondLife. There’s a story out today here that Reuters has opened a new bureau within the SecondLife virtual world.
… Reuters will have journalists reporting and writing financial and cultural stories within and about Second Life as part of the London-based company’s strategy to reach new audiences with the latest digital technologies.
Now one has to believe that with various large corporations jumping in, that some sort of critical mass has been passed and the thing is happening for … virtual.
The pump fun at the nursery will be continuing this week. So far, the new substitute pump is working and maintaining its prime. I’ll be buying a larger pump over the next few days and changing the electrical system from three-phase to single-phase (unless I can hire a pump expert to do it for me).
I’m also begining to get that panic-stricken feeling that usually preceeds a burst of activity. I’m thinking about how little time remains before I depart for New Zealand and how very much I have to do yet. Yikes!
All in all, though, things are good. Our business is doing as expected for this time of the year.
